The Laravel Updater package is a CLI command that can check for new versions of your application and upgrade to the latest version with one command.

It works by running the php artisan updater:update command, which checks for a new release on GitHub, updates to the latest version, and does the following:

Check if there is a new version of your application.
Download the new version using git commands.
Run the migrations.
Run the seeders
Clear the cache
Run the optimize command
Run the after-update pipelines

This package has some configuration options, such as turning on maintenance mode before the update and then disabling it after the update completes. You can also run custom pipelines before and after the update. Lastly, you can define a custom "repository source" that would enable you to check whatever source you want to see if updates are available.

If you want to update the application via a user interface programmatically, you can run the following method provided by this package:

use Salahhusa9\Updater\Facades\Updater;

Updater::update();

Check out the Laravel Updater documentation for setup instructions and package configuration options.

The content in BookStack is fully searchable. You are able to search at book level or across all books, chapters & pages. The ability to link directly to any paragraph allows you to keep your documentation connected.

Configurable

Configuration options allow you to set-up BookStack to suit your use case. You can change the name, logo and registration options. You can also change whether the whole system is publicly viewable or not.

Simple Requirements

BookStack is built using PHP, on top of the Laravel framework and it uses MySQL to store data. Performance has been kept in mind and BookStack can run happily on a $5 Digital Ocean VPS.

Built-In diagrams.net
