This repository powers the AlAdhan.com API on http://api.aladhan.com.
- PHP 8.2
- Memcached 1.6
- Kipchak (https://github.com/mamluk/kipchak)
- 7x APIs (https://7x.ax)
The api and all its dependencies are fully Dockerised. You just need docker and docker-compose to spin everything up.
You should enter your 7x API key in the docker-compose file on line 15.
A production ready Docker image of the app is published as:
- ghcr.io/islamic-network/api.aladhan.com on GitHub Container Registry
- quay.io/islamic-network/api.aladhan.com on Quay
To get your own instance up, simply run:
docker-compose up
This will bring up several containers:
- aladhan_api - This is the actual PHP / Apache instance. This runs on http://localhost - see http://localhost/status.
- aladhan_memcached - This is the Memcached Container.
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 ghcr.io/islamic-network/php:8.1-apache line to FROM ghcr.io/islamic-network/php:8.1-apache-dev.
With the above docker-compose up command your code is mapped to the aa-app docker container. You can make any changes and simply refresh the page to see them in real-time.
Please run composer install from within the container or on your machine because the first time to you run docker-compose up, your empty vendor directory will overwrite what is in the container.
This app takes 19 MB per apache process / worker and is set to have a maximum of 16 Apache workers.
A single instance should be sized with a maximum of 356 MB RAM, after which you should scale it horizontally.
You can contribute code by raising a pull request.
There's a backlog of stuff under issues for things that potentially need to be worked on, so please feel free to pick something up from there or contribute your own improvements.
