BookStack

BookStack is a self-hosted platform for storing and organizing information and documentation. It is built for teams that want a simple place to create and structure knowledge without a complex setup.

Content is organized with an opinionated model of Shelves, Books, Chapters, and Pages. Pages can be written in a WYSIWYG editor or in Markdown, and only basic word-processing skills are needed to get started. Diagrams can be drawn and embedded inline, and images are handled through a built-in image manager.

Everything is fully searchable, at book level or across all content, and direct links to any paragraph keep documentation connected. A full role and permission system controls access, page revisions track changes over time, and authentication can use SAML, LDAP, or OIDC with built-in multi-factor support.
