Yup, loving it.
When you export to PDF, you get a log at the bottom too.

@JaredBusch Nice write-up. I am definitely going to be trying this soon.

Seem to have an issue with pages.
Can add a new one but with no details
But if i change the heading or add some text both editing the Page or when i first create one i get:-
So creating a New Book and Chapter works fine

That is the point of my guides. They are for both education and getting a working system.
I could easily make it a script like @scottalanmiller did to my Nextcloud 13 guide, but I don’t want to.
I want my guides to educate as well as get the job done. I think the way that I breaks them up with a little blurb in between each set helps give it that right balance. Too much text and people who do not want to learn just move on. Not enough text, and it is basically just a script and the person learns nothing.

Learn by doing is an axiom for me.

@JaredBusch Just curious, where do you have this located for your internal documentation? On a VPS like Vultr, or do you have this in your own COLO somewhere? I want to deploy bookstack this weekend to check it out and am trying to decide where to put it.

Mine is in a colo. We have a server there, it would be silly not to use it.
Our PBX is on vultr, because that should not go down because I change something in the colo like a fucking genius (been there done that, got the tshirt).
But things like our Nextcloud, Wiki, UNMS, UniFi Controller, etc. those can reside on the colo more cost effectively. At least until I need to upgrade the hardware.
-
@jaredbusch Good to know. Our PBX is Vultr as well, for the same reason. But in our office (not COLO) we host some internal stuff, and I have room for another VM as well. I'm debating on just hosting the wiki at the office, or putting it on Vultr. The downside of hosting at an office is that there are no redundancies for power or internet.

That would only be a problem if you don't have the chapter named "What do do when the power goes out" saved as a PDF somewhere, lol.

@JaredBusch I got this up and running. I like it so far. Then I attempted to use cert bot to secure it, and somehow screwed it up. I do not have a reverse proxy in front of bookstack. What else needs to be changed in the config files? I'm almost there, but the page is now displaying "The site cant provide a secure connection." wiki.mysite.com sent an invalid response.
So it's getting to the site, but something is off.

@fuznutz04 OK Getting somewhere. Now getting the default Apache test page . So I'm getting to the server, but not getting to Bookstack.

Got it. I had the wrong path in the /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf file. I was pointing the document root to /var/www/html/bookstack instead of /var/www/html/bookstack/public.
Time for a drink.

Spoke too soon. I was only able to get to the home page. Clicking anything else like Settings, or books, give mes:
Not Found
The requested URL /books was not found on this server. -
It is certainly a problem with the
ssl.conf. Make sure the options match thebookstack.conf -
Also you have to update the
.envfile
