By the way, if someone much smarter than I (uh-hum @scottalanmiller or @JaredBusch or others) is willing to take the time to figure out how to install this on Fedora, I'm willing to give your instructions a try
It has very few requirements, looks like it is roughly the same as a really simple WordPress install...
Yeah, the composer install/setup is what's got me stumped. Never used that before or at least not in my short use of Linux OSs.
Maybe I missed that part, where is the composer install?
You can see it on the sample install script but doesn't mention in the manual install.

Can’t be any different compare to how Snipe-IT uses it.

Might not be needed then, or might be specifically needed for old Ubuntu LTS.

I'm testing this install next...just for fun.

Stick to Fedora, half that install is just getting CentOS to the point where it will work like Fedora. Just start with Fedora and integrated management of those pieces. That totally defeats the point of CentOS to use it in that way.

When I saw the need of epel and IUS repo automatically tells me to use Fedora instead.

Those instructions are also using Nginx as the web server. I typically default to using Apache in my guides.

Exactly. I'm okay with the EPEL for minor packages that are not includes, like fail2ban, but not as a means to getting different package versions. So generally EPEL I'm cool with, but IUS I am not. Not that it is bad, it just means you intended to use Fedora and made a mistake.

Same here, NGinx for RP, Apache for PHP app server.
-
Also, I will be making a guide in a bit as this looks like an interesting project to test.

I do like how wiki.js can use a git repo for version control and backup. Is there a way to do the same with bookstack?

It mentioned GIT in the reqs, so I am guessing yes.
DokuWiki you can easily as well.

It uses git to clone the install. so no. not backing to git.
-
The install guide says that you need to create some rewrite rules if not using Apache or have
.htaccessdisabled. So this means they default to Apache.Yet the Ubuntu install script installs Nginx.
https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/admin/installation/
And that community guide for CentOS 7 also installs Nginx. I wonder which they intend to be used.

Also this was on that page... just no...

Also, you don't need IUS for any of that. It's all in the CentOS SCL repos.
Also as @JaredBusch mentioned disabling the firewall and SELinux, and he's a "Sr. Security Engineer"...................

okay, this thing just sucks donkey balls. I spent way the fuck too much time on this and still not working.

I seutp the docker image to demo things a bit and I like it. The WYSIWYG works well. I copy/pasted a web page into the editor and it kept everything.
Did not test copy/pasting a Word document.
Pages also have tags if you want.
And you can upload files to attach to a page.

I followed your guide except I created a conf file in
/etc/httpd/conf.d/wiki.example.com.confsudo tee /etc/httpd/conf.d/wiki.example.com.conf <<EOF <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost <Directory /var/www/html/bookstack/public> Require all granted AllowOverride All #Options +Indexes </Directory> DocumentRoot /var/www/html/bookstack/public ServerName wiki.example.com ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/bookstack.error.log CustomLog /var/log/httpd/access.log combined </VirtualHost> EOFI pretty much did they same setup like Snipe-IT.
And my APP_URL is
APP_URL=https://wiki.example.com
