What is BookStack? BookStack is an opinionated wiki system that provides a pleasant and simple out-of-the-box experience. New users to an instance should find the experience intuitive and only basic word-processing skills should be required to get involved in creating content on BookStack. The platform should provide advanced power features to those that desire it but they should not interfere with the core simple user experience. - https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack   Installation    01. Log into the Linux device    02. Run the following commands in a terminal window:          # update software respositories          sudo apt update          # install available software updates          sudo apt upgrade -y          # install prerequisites          sudo apt install git openssl curl wget zip composer -y          # install Apache HTTPD and MySQL          sudo apt install apache2 mariadb-server mariadb-client -y          # install PHP components          sudo apt install php libapache2-mod-php php-curl php-tokenizer php-ldap php-cli php-json php-gd php-mbstring php-mysql php-xml php-zip php-bcmath -y          # configure the MySQL database          sudo su          mysql_secure_installation    03. Press Enter to login as root    04. Type Y and press Enter to set a root password, type the password twice to confirm    05. Type Y and press Enter to remove anonymous users    06. Type Y and press Enter to disallow root login remotely    07. Type Y and press Enter to remove the test database    08. Type Y and press Enter to reload privilege tables    09. Run the following command to login into MySQL:          mysql -u root -p    10. Authenticate with the root password set earlier    11. Run the following commands to create the BookStack database and database user          CREATE DATABASE bookstack;          GRANT ALL ON bookstack.* to 'bookstack_rw'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'B00k$t@ck!';          FLUSH PRIVILEGES;          EXIT;          exit    12. Continue with the following commands:          # clone bookstack from github          sudo git clone https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack.git --branch release --single-branch /var/www/bookstack          # create a copy of the sample .env file          sudo cp /var/www/bookstack/.env.example /var/www/bookstack/.env          # edit the .env file          sudo nano /var/www/bookstack/.env    13. Edit the following environment variables as needed          APP_ENV=production          APP_DEBUG=false          APP_KEY=SomethingSecure          APP_URL=http://debian/bookstack          APP_TIMEZONE='America/New_York'          APP_LOCALE=en          DB_CONNECTION=mysql          DB_HOST=127.0.0.1          DB_DATABASE=bookstack          DB_USERNAME=bookstack_rw          DB_PASSWORD=B00k$t@ck!          MAIL_DRIVER=smtp          MAIL_HOST=smtp.i12bretro.local          MAIL_PORT=25          MAIL_USERNAME=null          MAIL_PASSWORD=null          MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null          MAIL_FROM_ADDR=bookstack@i12bretro.local          MAIL_FROM_NAME='BookStack'          MAIL_REPLYTO_ADDR=bookstack@i12bretro.local          MAIL_REPLYTO_NAME='BookStack'          MAIL_AUTO_EMBED_METHOD='attachment'    14. Press CTRL+O, Enter, CTRL+X to write the changes to .env    15. Continue with the following commands:          # set the owner of the bookstack directory          sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/bookstack          # setup composer working directory          sudo mkdir /var/www/.composer          sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/.composer          cd /var/www/bookstack          # install dependencies with composer          sudo -u www-data composer install --no-dev --no-plugins          # generate app key          sudo php artisan key:generate --no-interaction --force          # migrate the database          sudo php artisan migrate --no-interaction --force          # create bookstack apache configuration          sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/bookstack.conf    16. Paste the following configuration into bookstack.conf          Alias /bookstack "/var/www/bookstack/public"          ≪Directory /var/www/bookstack/public≫          Options Indexes FollowSymLinks          AllowOverride None          Require all granted          ≪IfModule mod_rewrite.c≫          ≪IfModule mod_negotiation.c≫          Options -MultiViews -Indexes          ≪/IfModule≫          RewriteEngine On          # Handle Authorization Header          RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .          RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]          # Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...          RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
