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?
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.

Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

I chose Bookstack for the same situation. It’s dead simple in usage and maintenance. No issues yet!
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
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.
