BookStack
Organize and store information. Stores documentation in a book like fashion.
Developed outside the platforms our data source measures, so there is no activity history to score. This says nothing about the project — many unrated projects are actively maintained.

Not available for this project. Our source collects commit history from GitHub only, and BookStack is developed elsewhere.

Is BookStack actively maintained?
We cannot measure this one. BookStack is developed outside the platforms our data source collects activity from, and its repository lives at codeberg.org — so there is no commit history or release cadence here to score.
Read that as missing data, not as a warning. Several of the best-maintained projects in this catalogue are unrated for exactly this reason. To judge it, open the repository and look at the date of the most recent commit yourself.
What BookStack actually does
BookStack is a self-hosted wiki application designed to organise and store documentation in a hierarchical, book-like structure. It provides a structured interface for teams to author and maintain reference materials. The platform is built with PHP and packaged for containerised environments.
Best fit: It suits teams or individuals looking for a straightforward, document-centric wiki to manage internal knowledge bases without complex tooling.
Worth knowing: Without documented release cycles or recent commit metrics available, you should evaluate its current maintenance status carefully before adopting it for critical infrastructure.
Deployment notes
As a PHP-based application running in Docker, you will typically need to configure persistent storage for user uploads, set up a separate database backend, and place it behind a reverse proxy for TLS termination.
