PlayBooks

PlayBooks is a project i've build to ease the creation of knowledge playbooks for different scenarios.
Create your own Markdown playbooks for whatever scenario you usually encounter, from development tasks to a full RedTeam rundown.

PlayBooks not only provides an easily self hosted platform to create playbooks, but builds on the idea of collaborative knowledge sharing and sourcing internal and external resources into your playbooks. You can write your own pages from scratch or add existing pages from the web, through file uploads or from system directories enabled for access.
The kicker is: If you include an existing page, e.g. from the amazing Atmoic Red Team GitHub Repo you will be informed if the linked source has been updated and can pull the latest updates directly from the original source.

Features

Create playbooks from scratch
Write Markdown, read HTML
Copy+Paste Images into your PlayBook pages
Add-In Existing Markdown pages from external sources via HTTP or from internal sources via File Upload Or enable system folders for access
Notification when a linked source page has been updated, directly pull updates from the original source
Full Text Search through all your created Pages
Easy setup and self hosting, everyhting is and stays local (PlayBooks does not send out any data)

Example Use Case: You got an internal repo as knowledge base?

Setup PlayBooks on a slim Webserver, add automated task to pull your knowledge base nightly, enable PlayBooks for read access to the local, cloned knowledge base, add articles from that knowledge to your playbooks, get informed and pull updates from the upstream repo whenever.

Examples and Screenshots can be found in the Wiki
