What is BookStack?
Your BookStack wiki on a VPS you fully control.
BookStack turns scattered docs into one searchable wiki: shelves hold books, books hold chapters and pages, so runbooks, onboarding guides and how-tos live in one place your team finds in seconds. The open-source app runs on PHP and MariaDB. On your ZAP-Hosting VPS, Coolify deploys the complete BookStack Docker stack in one click, with no compose file to write and no manual PHP or database setup.
Because the VPS is yours, you keep full root and SSH access. Connect BookStack to LDAP, SAML or OpenID Connect so your team signs in with existing accounts, put the wiki on your own domain, raise upload limits for large attachments or run more apps next to it in Coolify. Your documentation stays on a server you control and can reach at any time.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Bookstack
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
BookStack hosting at ZAP-Hosting runs the open-source BookStack wiki on your own KVM VPS. Coolify deploys it in one click, you keep full root access, and a daily automatic Backup is included. You choose the plan size and the location, and you can cancel anytime.
- BookStack is free and open source under the MIT license
- You only pay for the VPS plan you choose
- Plans scale by RAM, CPU and storage
Order a VPS, open the Apps section in the panel and pick BookStack. Coolify then deploys the BookStack Docker stack with its MariaDB database for you, so you don't have to write a docker-compose file or set up PHP or a web server by hand. Learn more in the Help Center
- Point your own domain to the VPS and set it in Coolify
- Update later by redeploying the service in Coolify
BookStack itself is lightweight: PHP and MariaDB for a small team wiki run comfortably on an entry plan. Plan for more RAM when many people edit at the same time, when you store large attachments or when you run other apps next to BookStack in Coolify. You can move to a larger plan later.
- Personal or homelab wiki: start with an entry plan
- Growing team wiki: pick a mid-size plan
- Several apps on one VPS: choose a larger plan
BookStack needs PHP 8.2 or newer, a MySQL or MariaDB database, Composer and command-line access for migrations and updates. Typical shared web hosting doesn't give you that level of access, so a VPS is the reliable base: you control PHP, the database and the web server, or simply let Coolify run all of it in Docker.
Yes. It's your own VPS, so you log in via SSH as root and decide everything: environment variables, PHP limits, firewall rules, extra tools or more apps in Coolify. That also covers LDAP, SAML 2.0 or OpenID Connect login for your team. How to connect via SSH
- Configure LDAP, SAML or OIDC via environment variables
- Run more apps next to BookStack in Coolify
Yes. Every VPS gets a daily automatic Backup. With the ZapX Pass you also get manual Backups and snapshots, and you can manage and restore your Backups in the panel. More about Backups in the Help Center
- Daily automatic Backup included with every VPS
- Manual Backups and snapshots with ZapX Pass
- Backup management and restore with ZapX Pass
Yes. Export your database with mysqldump, copy the uploads and storage folders plus your .env settings, then import everything on the new VPS. If the address changes, BookStack's php artisan bookstack:update-url command rewrites old links to the new APP_URL.
- Use the same or a newer BookStack version
- Test logins and attachments before switching DNS
On a ZAP-Hosting VPS you pick from locations in Europe and America. Choose the one closest to the people who read and edit your wiki; many North American teams start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles. Available locations can vary by plan.

Why does my BookStack search feel slow?
Check RAM and CPU usage while searching first. After a large import, rebuilding the search index with php artisan bookstack:regenerate-search often helps, and MariaDB benefits from free memory.
Should I add more RAM?
If memory stays near its limit during normal use, a larger plan is the cleaner fix. If it only spikes during imports, the index rebuild is usually enough.
