Disable SignUp

[dtmichel]

I am new to Aptabase and I am trying to self-host in Docker for my own projects. I would like to restrict the SignUp feature but can't seem to find an option for it. Neither in the frontend nor as an environment variable for the docker container.
Am I just missing it or isn't there the possibility to disable the account creation? If it is missing, I'd like to submit a feature request.

That’s not an option today, but something i want to add. What I usually recommend is to remove any smtp settings so that people won’t get email if they try to sign up.

Ok, that’s an option, but I assumed that there is another reason for the SMTP settings besides the sign-up process. Haven’t yet explored all the features. If there are not other email notifications then I‘ll turn it off again.

[goenning]

There will be more email notifications in future, but when we get there then there’ll be an option to disable sign up

Perfect, thank you 👍🏻

Thank you very much for this incredibly great library.
Unfortunately, the method of removing the e-mail configuration is not a solution in the long term, as the cookie gets sometimes deleted or invalidated. Especially when working in a group of people.

In addition, I had the idea not to completely deactivate the registration, but only to restrict it to a specific e-mail domain to limit sign-ups to my organization members.

Since I have not enough experience with all used frameworks, I could not get the repo running and provide a PR myself (had problems with generating the registration link).
Therefore, my question, are there any updates for the implementation?

I’ll try adding a contribution guide, shouldn’t take long. Let’s just agree on the high level solution. I was thinking of an environment variable with a regex. If the user enters an email that does not match the regex, then login/registration is blocked. That’s probably the most flexible, but not the most user friendly option.

the alternative is 3 env vars. one with a list of domains and another with a list of email addresses, same logic as above, but without regex.

Thoughts?

[dtmichel]

Both solutions would be fine with me. The second one sounds more universal.

[goenning]

So let's go with second, it'll be simpler for folks to configure instead of fiddling with regex patterns
