BookStack

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

Requirements

BookStack has the similar requirements to Laravel. On top of those are some front-end build tools which are only required when developing.

PHP >= 5.5.9
OpenSSL PHP Extension
PDO PHP Extension
MBstring PHP Extension
Tokenizer PHP Extension
MySQL >= 5.6
Git (Not strictly required but helps manage updates)
Composer
Node.js Development Only
Gulp Development Only

Installation

Ensure the requirements are met before installing.

This project currently uses the release branch of this repository as a stable channel for providing updates.

The installation is currently somewhat complicated. Some PHP/Laravel experience will benefit.

Clone the release branch of this repository into a folder.

git clone https://github.com/ssddanbrown/BookStack.git --branch release --single-branch

cd into the application folder and run composer install.
Copy the .env.example file to .env and fill with your own database and mail details.
Ensure the storage & bootstrap/cache folders are writable by the web server.
In the application root, Run php artisan key:generate to generate a unique application key.
If not using apache or .htaccess files are disable you will have to create some URL rewrite rules as shown below.
Run php migrate to update the database.
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.
