Managed BookStack_

A team wiki organised like a library

BookStack is a simple wiki for documentation, organised as shelves, books, chapters and pages, with a WYSIWYG or Markdown editor, search and per-page permissions.

From £5 a month, VAT included. No server to run.

  • HTTPS and your own domain
  • Health checks and restarts
  • Security updates underneath
  • Internal documentation
  • Runbooks
  • Onboarding guides
  • Client handbooks

First steps

  1. Sign in. When the app is live, open it in the console and choose Reveal admin password; it is shown once, so save it in your password manager. Then sign in at your-name.apps.fresh.dev/login.
  2. Change the admin’s name and email in your profile.
  3. Create a shelf for each team, and books, chapters and pages inside it.
  4. Add SMTP details in the console, then invite your team under Settings › Users.

Automate with the API

Create an API token in your profile, then read or write pages from scripts:

curl -H "Authorization: Token TOKEN_ID:TOKEN_SECRET" \
  https://your-name.apps.fresh.dev/api/pages

The full API reference is at /api/docs on your app.

Good to know

  • Self-registration and guest access are off by default.
