I am trying to set up a repository of knowledge for my job. Was thinking a wiki, but I need something that I can make as simple as possible for the end user, as some of them are not familiar with markdown or html. Is there a self hosted option that is dumb easy simple to navigate and edit for the end user?

    Tried bookstack first, but setting it up with docker was giving me issues and didn’t want to try bare metal/VM yet. It’s on my list to fiddle with though, thank you.

      Here you go, this is my docker compose. You can modify the pieces as you see fit.

      version: ‘3’ services:

      Bookstack

      bookstack:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/bookstack
    container_name: bookstack
    environment:
        - PUID=${PUID}
        - PGID=${PGID}
        - APP_URL=
        - DB_HOST=bookstack_db
        - DB_USER=bookstack
        - DB_PASSWORD=${BS_DB_PASS}
        - DB_DATABASE=bookstackapp
    volumes:
        - ${DATA_DIR}/bookstack:/config
    ports:
        - 6875:80
    restart: unless-stopped
    depends_on:
        - bookstack_db
bookstack_db:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/mariadb
    container_name: bookstack_db
    environment:
        - PUID=${PUID}
        - PGID=${PGID}
        - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=${BS_DB_PASS}
        - TZ=${TIMEZONE}
        - MYSQL_DATABASE=bookstackapp
        - MYSQL_USER=bookstack
        - MYSQL_PASSWORD=${BS_DB_PASS}
    volumes:
        - ${DATA_DIR}/bookstack/mariadb:/config
    restart: unless-stopped

        I notice in yours you dropped the - APP_URL=https://bookstack.example.com that linuxserver and solidnerd have in their compose files. I will comment that out and see if that helps my issues. would redirect to a 404 page every time.

          That’s an error on my part, apologies. I copy/pasted and tried to redact my url from the APP_URL=https://bookstack.example.com section and ended up deleting the entire line; yay replying from mobile. :|

          I currently use Bookstack on Docker in Unraid but the above docker compose snippet is from when I used a debian VM with docker installed on it to run my docker stacks.
