Lightweight Symfony-based front controller

• Front controller: public/index.php using symfony/http-foundation and symfony/routing.
• Controller: src/Controller/ApiController.php implements all endpoints.
• Apache rewrites: root .htaccess forwards all requests to public/, and public/.htaccess routes to the front controller.
• CORS support: default Access-Control-* headers and OPTIONS preflight handling.

Requirements

• PHP >= 8.2

Local run

Install deps and start a local server:

composer install
composer serve
# or
php -S 127.0.0.1:3000 -t public public/index.php

Try:

curl http://127.0.0.1:3000/
curl http://127.0.0.1:3000/versions
curl http://127.0.0.1:3000/version/stable
curl "http://127.0.0.1:3000/verify/2.8.18"

Notes

• Nightly value is generated as nightly-<yesterday>; its release date equals yesterday.
• verify responds with 418 for missing or invalid versions.
• CORS headers are always present; OPTIONS returns 204.
