Apache Answer is a question and answer platform for teams, communities and help centres, with voting, tags, reputation, badges and moderation. It publishes a web interface and a REST API for building a searchable knowledge base.
It runs as a system service on SQLite behind an nginx proxy, hardened and ready with no first run wizard, and the database and uploads live on a dedicated resizable data disk. First boot generates a fresh admin password, wipes the build time content and stores the credential in a root only file, so there is no default login, with 24/7 cloudimg support.
