BookStack

About​

BookStack is a simple, self-hosted, easy-to-use platform for organising and storing information.

Admin​

When using Cloudron user management, BookStack's built-in admin user is disabled. See the BookStack docs for more information. In addition, the app is pre-setup to give admin status to all users. Change this by going to Settings -> Registration and adjusting the value of Default user role after registration. This way, the first user to login will be an admin and the roles of rest of the users can be managed inside BookStack.

Customization​

BookStack env vars file lists various customizable options including default book view, default light/dark mode, timezone etc.

Edit custom configuration in /app/data/env using the File Manager. Restart the app after making any changes.

External registration​

Bookstack does not allow external users to register when Cloudron user management (LDAP) is enabled. If you require external registration, install Bookstack with Cloudron user management disabled.

See the Bookstack docs to enable 3rd party auth like Google, GitHub, Twitter, Facebook & others.

Themes​

Place custom themes in /app/data/themes. Edit the files using the File manager.
