Simple & Free Wiki Software

BookStack is a simple, self-hosted, easy-to-use platform for organising and storing information.

BookStack is fully free and open, MIT licensed. The source is available on GitHub.

Easy, Simple Interface
Simplicity has been the top priority when building BookStack. The page editor has a simple WYSIWYG interface and all content is broken into three simple real world groups:

• Books
• Chapters
• Pages

BookStack is built using PHP, on top of the Laravel framework and it uses MySQL to store data. Performance has been kept in mind and BookStack can run happily on a $5 Digital Ocean VPS.

Built-In diagrams.net
The page editor within BookStack has diagrams.net drawing capability built-in, allowing the quick and easy creation of diagrams within your documentation.

Optional Markdown Editor
If you prefer to write in Markdown then BookStack supports you. A markdown editor is provided and includes a live-preview as you write your documentation.

Integrated Authentication
As well as the default email/password login social providers such as GitHub, Google, Slack, AzureAD and more can be used. Okta, SAML2 and LDAP options are available for enterprise environments.
