In this video I go through the manual installation steps to get a working BookStack setup running on Debian 12 Bookworm.
At the time of recording, BookStack v23.06.2 is the latest version of BookStack.
This uses MariaDB as a database, and Apache as the web-server.
Certbot is used to fetch and install a HTTPS certificate.

Note that this guide only shows the process of installing BookStack on Debian, not the full process of setting up a fully security hardened environment nor the steps you may need to update & maintain your BookStack instance.
