Slightly offtopic. If anyone is looking for self-hosted alternative to SO then answer [0] is a great choice. I just brought up an instance at [1] if you want to know how it looks like.

https://github.com/answerdev/answer#readme is Apache 2 licensed, the sibling comment pointed out that the existing S.O. data is open licensed, but your premise has the same problem every "I'm going to take my ball and go play in the other yard" does: the network effect is very, very real

I keep my notes on https://answer.dev/ self hosted

This is pretty interesting, I didn't know this (answer.dev) was available. I think for my own usage I might get frustrated with having to write the question and answer separately. But a cool thing to add to the list to check out some time, thanks!

Not really specific tools for that purpose, but our api-scripts repo has a collection of examples that use the API, which could be used as a basis for building something more specific. Within the readme there is also a variety of more extensive community project, some of which may also be useful here.

You could run a script that uses the API to export all content to PDF/HTML. I have a basic example of this here in our API scripts repo.

Their Script

To add to this, some people script and cron regular exports via the API. I have a basic example script here.

Also, if it helps, we have API script examples here and there is an existing bash cli build here.

If you wanted accessible non-DB copies of your content, this is possible via a couple of options. Some users script exports of all their books. I have an example of this here in our API script examples repo. Alternatively you could write out raw content to plain files on the system via hooking into events using our logical theme system. I have an basic example of doing this for HTML format content within this blog post.

I found this this evening

Can't give too much advice in regards to Confluence, but in regards to BookStack import the REST API is probably the best best. API docs can be seen on our demo instance here. API usage examples, and community projects/scripts, can be found here if it helps. You might be able to find existing confluence to bookstack scripts. Came across this in a search but not sure how feature complete or up-to-date it is.
