Basics

• Create slug.md files inside /pages/posts/ to make new posts.
• Use optional YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md format for forced create dates.

It's that simple.

Support

• Requires PHP >= 8.2.
• Apache users: Works automatically provided the AllowOverride All directive is enabled (Arcane will generate the required .htaccess file for you).
• NGINX users: Requires routing traffic to the front controller. Add this to your server block alongside your existing PHP execution directive:

location / {
  rewrite ^/(.*)/$ /$1 permanent;
  try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}

• Creating an issue on GitHub for reporting bugs is always appreciated.
