# Deployment

BookStack is an open-source wiki & documentation platform, designed to be simple and selfhosted.  
Think of it like your personal \*\*company knowledge base\*\* or \*\*digital bookshelf\*\*.  
In this guide, we’ll walk through deploying BookStack on:  
\- \*\*Hostinger KVM 2 VPS\*\* (upgradeable to KVM 4 if needed)  
\- \*\*Ubuntu 24 LTS\*\*  
\- \*\*Docker & Docker Compose\*\*  
\- \*\*Traefik\*\* reverse proxy for HTTPS  
\- \*\*Domain name:\*\* `books.aimatrix.one`  
\- \*\*Email account:\*\* `books@aimatrix.one`  
You’ll learn not just the “how” but also the “why” behind each step, so you can troubleshoot and  
grow your setup confidently.
