BookStack

A platform to create documentation/wiki content. General information about BookStack can be found at https://www.bookstackapp.com/

BookStack is currently in rapid development so use now is heavily cautioned as future updates my break existing installations.

Requirements

BookStack has the similar requirements to Laravel. On top of those are some front-end build tools which the requirement of will be removed once out of beta release.

  • PHP >= 5.5.9
  • OpenSSL PHP Extension
  • PDO PHP Extension
  • Mbstring PHP Extension
  • Tokenizer PHP Extension
  • MySQL >= 5.6
  • Composer
  • Node.js To be removed in future
  • Bower To be removed in future
  • Gulp To be removed in future

Installation

Ensure the requirements are met before installing.

The installation is currently somewhat complicated. Some PHP/Laravel experience will benefit. This will be streamlined in the future.

  1. Clone the repository into a folder.
  2. cd into folder and run composer install followed by npm install and bower install.
  3. Run gulp --production to compile the JavaScript and css files.
  4. Copy the .env.example file to .env and fill with your own database and mail details.
  5. Ensure the storage & bootstrap/cache folders are writable by the web server.
  6. In the application root, Run php artisan key:generate to generate a unique application key.
  7. If not using apache or .htaccess files are disable you will have to create some URL rewrite rules as shown below.
  8. Run php migrate to update the database.
  9. Done! You can now login using the default admin details admin@admin.com with a password of password. It is recommended to change these details directly after first logging in.

URL Rewrite rules

Apache

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

Nginx

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}

Testing

BookStack has many integration tests that use Laravel's built-in testing capabilities which makes use of PHPUnit. To use you will need PHPUnit installed and accessible via command line. There is a mysql_testing database defined within the app config which is what is used by PHPUnit. This database is set with the following database name, user name and password defined as bookstack-test. You will have to create that database and credentials before testing.

The testing database will also need migrating and seeding beforehand. This can be done with the following commands:

php artisan migrate --database=mysql_testing
php artisan db:seed --class=DummyContentSeeder --database=mysql_testing

Once done you can run phpunit in the application root directory to run all tests.
