... ooooooooor simply use the installation script maintained by the vendor:
https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/admin/installation/#ubuntu-1804 (there is also for 16.04)
You just need to have clean OS installed. Download the script, run it and 5 minutes later the platform is up.

Pls help
I've tried it twice.
Doesn't work. There are some important setup steps missing.
I'd say there's a missing /public in the virtual host config:<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/Bookstack/public
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
<Directory /var/www/html/Bookstack/public>
Options FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
This tutorial has multiple issues. I am listing a few here so that other people don't get stuck like me:
1. In the .env file, make sure you change the site URL. If you're just trying it out, make sure you change https to http, otherwise it will keep redirecting to https
2. The folder inside /var/www/html/ is named BookStack. However, the Apache config spells it as Bookstack. Since folder names are case sensitive in Linux, make sure you correct this
3. Apache Config should point to /var/www/html/BookStack/public. The tutorial missed the public part.
