TB-009 — BookStack vs Obsidian

Status: not started
Your call: (unset — talk first)

---

Talk first

Stop. Don't read Reference until we've talked. In chat, say "let's do TB-009" or "bookstack vs obsidian".

In one sentence: Decide if docs.ginnoir.com (BookStack) stays or goes — Obsidian is already your main PKM.

Why it came up: Two wiki systems = drift and an extra MariaDB to feed.

Questions

1. Do you use BookStack at all? When did you last open it?
2. If we export and remove it, anything lost?
3. Or keep it for a specific use case — what?

Your options

Option	Meaning
Do it	We're doing this — I'll implement or walk you through it
Later	Keep on the list, not now
Drop	Remove from plan — totally fine
Tweak	Change scope; tell me how

If we do it — rough steps

1. Your call: retire, keep with boundary, or migrate to Wiki.js (TB-032)
2. If retire: export → remove containers

Done when

• Decision recorded
• If retired: BookStack containers gone
