BookStack is a simple, self-hosted, easy-to-use platform for organising and storing information. It is an opinionated wiki system that provides a pleasant and simple out of the box experience.
BookStack is built using PHP, on top of the Laravel framework and it uses MySQL to store data.
Does it work? Is it safe to install? Is it still marked as low quality when I click āInstall with Yunohostā and not listed in the web admin although here it is āLevel 7ā and āworkingā.
Anyway, thanks a lot for working with this. I was waiting for this app to be included
Small thing: Test Email failed, maybe because of the port used in the .env file. I changed it from 1025 (?) to standard 25 and the error message disappeared
Todayās update failed: āUnable to update core dependencies with Composerā was one of the error messages, see log here: https://paste.yunohost.org/raw/azuwizuhen
Hello @ericg !
I have seen you recently packaged this interesting wiki. Thanks.
To be honest, I am a little bit lost between the diversity of existing wiki.
I am looking for a easy to use, quite good looking, and not to heavy on my small server. I have already used BookStack and I found it nice.
But I have also seen Yeswiki that seems quite nice.
Could you let me know how you choose BookStack ? Are you using it for your own wiki ? What make it suits you better ?
And finally, do you think you will maintain this package for some time ?
Sorry, I left your message behind.
I donāt use BookStack myself, so I canāt advise you on this. You should try it out and see if it meets your needs. The package is maintained.
Hello @ericg and thanks for updating this app.
Iād like to know, is LDAP supported for this app?
Indeed, I donāt see any mention of it on the repoās GitHub and yet the native app supports it.
I struggle to implement LDAP authentication for this appā¦
If you set LDAP authentication out of the box, it works but LDAP users will only get reader role
After talking to the BookStack developer here is the answer:
Does it mean that we must install the app as standard authentication method, set āDefault user role optionā and then change the authentication method to LDAP?
Yeah, needs some action within BookStack by the original admin to get an admin LDAP user going.
the option is to set the authentication to standard, connect with the default credentials, set Default user role after registration option to Admin, switch to LDAP authentication method using config panel in the YunoHost webadmin, and connect the LDAP user (first one connecting should be granted the Admin roleā¦)
Okay thanks, Iām going to try on my side right now.
BTW, configuring an app directly from YNH web admin panel is a new feature right? Otherwise i just have to edit .env in /var/www/bookstack
2nd edit: Itās working w/ your newest branch. I could successfully log in with two different YNH users to bookstack using LDAP auth. For the first login, they were automatically granted āadminā role as expected.
I guess you can add an explanation regarding how to make LDAP work and it should be fine. Thanks a bunch!
LDAP authentication is used by default for fresh app install.
If you are upgrading BookStack, You may need extra steps to use LDAP authentication
In webadmin ā bookstack ā config panel set authentication to ldap
Set the user with the Admin role (must be a LDAP registered user): php8.0 artisan bookstack:create-admin --email="$email" --name="$admin" --external-auth-id="$admin"
Has anyone ever tried to attempt a restoration from another bookstack? Iām trying to do it myself right now but when I migrate the database, I am faced with an error 500 and donāt really have any logs to tell me more about the issue
It may be useful to look at the .env file to check if all the values are correct according to the new domain/path of your server. (cf. /var/www/bookstack/.env, the variable APP_URL ligne 22.
