  • MkDocs

    Project documentation with Markdown.

    We've been using mkdocs so far, which is great but we kind of need one with authentication and authorization. I.e. people need to log in and can only see certain sites that they have a permission for.

  • BookStack

    A platform to create documentation/wiki content built with PHP & Laravel

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • api-scripts

    Examples of BookStack API scripts

    You could technically use the API within BookStack to generate some level of static site from the content. I made a simple demo script of this in our API samples repo: https://github.com/BookStackApp/api-scripts/tree/main/php-book-to-static-site
