API: Add system endpoint to provide app version number amoung other details

[nosebeggar]

API Endpoint or Feature

Hi, in the API documentation I could not find an endpoint that will provide me with the version number of my installed instance. Am I stupid or does BS really not provide one so far?

Use-Case

I'm writing icinga checks for all my services to compare them to the newest available version on github.

Additional context

No response

Hi @nosebeggar,
No current official endpoint provided for this.

There was a previous request in #3343.
If desired, I could re-purpose this issue to focus on adding a /system api endpoint as described in that thread, to provide the current version number among other details.

Hi,
that would be fabulous. I mean, I like a good, dirty solution, but i don't see any reason to not add this to the regular API. Every other service I'm using has one such key, would be nice to have this in bookstack. Thanks a lot!

Okay, I've updated the title and set the target for next feature release as it should be a simple thing to add.

We'll start with the below details, with potential to expand based on needs in the future.

• Configured App name
• App version string
• App ID (Added via settings in recent release for ZIP exports).
• App logo reference

This has been added via #5607, ready to be part of the next feature release.
Thanks again @nosebeggar for the request.
