Add a new Audio Edition

4. https://github.com/islamic-network/api.alquran.cloud/blob/master/cdn.txt needs to be updated.

Running the App

The api and all its dependencies are fully Dockerised. You just need docker and docker-compose to spin everything up.

A production ready Docker image of the api is published as:

• islamicnetwork/api.alquran.cloud on Docker Hub

To get your own instance up, simply run:

composer install
docker-compose up

This will bring up several containers:

1. api - This is the actual PHP / Apache instance. This runs on https://localhost - see https://localhost/v1/ayah/1.
2. mysql - This is the Percona DB Container.
3. memcached - This is the Memcached Container.

Build and Contribute

Please note that the Dockerfile included builds a production ready container which has opcache switched on and xdebug turned off, so you will only see your changes every 5 minutes if you are developing. To actively develop, change the FROM islamicnetwork/php:8.1-apache line to islamicnetwork/php:8.1-apache-dev.

With the above docker-compose up command your code is mapped to the quran-app docker container. You can make any changes and simply refresh the page to see them in real-time.

Scaling and Sizing

This app takes 18-19 MB per apache process / worker and is set to have a maximum of 15 Apache workers.

OpCache takes 100 MB RAM.

A single instance should be sized with a maximum of 400 MB RAM, after which you should scale it horizontally.

Contributing Code

You can contribute code by raising a pull request.
