BookStack
Self-hosted wiki/documentation platform organized as books, chapters, and pages, comparable to Confluence. Clean PHP/Laravel codebase but hard-requires MySQL rather than any SQL database.

⚙ Full Stack
PHP/Laravel backend, MySQL/MariaDB for storage (not swappable to Postgres without patching), server-rendered pages with light JS for the editor.
📈 Scaling Analysis
Laravel's stateless request model scales horizontally fine behind a load balancer once sessions are moved to a shared store, but the MySQL-only requirement (versus more flexible Postgres-based peers) is a real constraint for teams standardized elsewhere.
🚀 Running on Nexlayer
App pod plus a MySQL pod; set APP_URL to the Nexlayer domain and DB_HOST to mysql.pod:3306. mirror.gcr.io/library/mysql and mirror.gcr.io/library/php both apply; uploaded images/attachments need a persistent volume backed up alongside the DB.
