How to Install BookStack on Fedora CoreOS Latest

BookStack is a popular platform for creating and sharing documentation. It has an easy-to-use interface and allows for efficient collaboration between team members. In this tutorial, we'll go through the steps to install BookStack on Fedora CoreOS.

Step 1: Set Up a New Server

Before we can install BookStack, we need to ensure that we have a server set up that meets the requirements. We'll use a new server running Fedora CoreOS.

If you haven't done so already, you can follow our tutorial on how to set up a new server, which covers the basics of getting a new Fedora CoreOS server online.

Step 2: Install Docker

We'll use Docker to run BookStack in a container. Fedora CoreOS doesn't have Docker installed by default, so let's start by installing Docker.

sudo dnf install docker

Step 3: Install Git

BookStack is hosted on GitHub, so we'll need to have Git installed to clone the repository.

sudo dnf install git

Step 4: Clone the BookStack Repository

Now that we have Git installed, let's clone the BookStack repository.

git clone https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack.git

Step 5: Start BookStack

We're now ready to start BookStack. Change into the BookStack directory and use Docker Compose to bring up the BookStack containers.

cd BookStack
sudo docker-compose up -d

Step 6: Access BookStack

Once BookStack is up and running, we can access it by navigating to http://:80 in a web browser. You should see the BookStack login page.

Conclusion

We've now successfully installed BookStack on a new Fedora CoreOS server. BookStack is a powerful tool that can help us to organize and share documentation within our team. We hope you found this tutorial helpful!
