Is it possible to disable registration?

#1

I run my own server. I’ve registered myself. I don’t want anyone else to be able to use my server. Can I disable future registrations?

Thanks!

Not a clean solution, but in the interest of not making new friends while I await a good solution, I commented out the parts that seem to deal with account creation. I’ve done only the barest amount of testing, so follow at your peril.

This is the git diff of my changes:

Hopefully that helps somebody else.

Greetings,

I found this solution described here: https://myguide.fyi/books/self-host-apps-services/page/how-to-install-turtl-server-on-debian-9-with-apache-reverseproxy-ssl

Section “# to disable further registrations edit the file:”

To be more easy to implement and to revert when needed…

Regards
