DISABLE_SIGNUPS not working

[chanunnaki]

I set the .env variable to DISABLE_SIGNUPS=true but it didn't disable the option.

I ran docker compose up -s again after saving the .env already.

Can you share your docker compose file?

Can you also maybe share the output of: docker inspect hoarder-pub-web-1 | grep DISABLE_SIGNUPS to ensure that the web container actually saw the env variable?

Sure! I didn’t change anything in the compose file other than the port, but I just attached for compliance. I’m running through unRAID and for some reason that is beyond my understanding the container is called docker-pub-1, so I ran `docker inspect docker-pub-1 | grep DISABLE_SIGNUPS` and this is the output: "DISABLE_SIGNUPS=true”, So it looks like the container can indeed see the variable which makes sense, because it was in the same .env file that I put in my OpenAI key. And the compose file: version: "3.8" services: web: image: ghcr.io/mohamedbassem/hoarder-web:${HOARDER_VERSION:-release} restart: unless-stopped volumes: - data:/data ports: - 3333:3000 env_file: - .env environment: REDIS_HOST: redis MEILI_ADDR: http://meilisearch:7700 DATA_DIR: /data redis: image: redis:7.2-alpine restart: unless-stopped volumes: - redis:/data chrome: image: gcr.io/zenika-hub/alpine-chrome:100 restart: unless-stopped command: - --no-sandbox - --disable-gpu - --remote-debugging-address=0.0.0.0 - --remote-debugging-port=9222 meilisearch: image: getmeili/meilisearch:v1.6 restart: unless-stopped env_file: - .env volumes: - meilisearch:/meili_data workers: image: ghcr.io/mohamedbassem/hoarder-workers:${HOARDER_VERSION:-release} restart: unless-stopped volumes: - data:/data env_file: - .env environment: REDIS_HOST: redis MEILI_ADDR: http://meilisearch:7700 BROWSER_WEB_URL: http://chrome:9222 DATA_DIR: /data # OPENAI_API_KEY: ... depends_on: web: condition: service_started volumes: redis: meilisearch: data:

hmmm, interesting. It looks right indeed. So, when you say DISABLE_SIGNUPS is not working, does that mean you can create an account normally?

Typically, what you'd see is that the Signup button is disabled similar to this screenshot:

[chanunnaki]

yeah, it's exactly the same:

This screenshot was taken in another browser that I don't normally use to rule out the possibilty of the site being cached somehow.

[MohamedBassem]

Hmm, that screenshot that you shared shows the button as disabled. Which means that you can't really sign up.

This is what it looks like when signups is enabled:

And this is what it looks like when it's disabled:

[chanunnaki]

Ah, I thought the signup tab is supposed to disappear completely. My apologies, and thank you for the help.

[MohamedBassem]

hmmm, I might actually consider changing it so that it fully disappears. Makes sense.
