Feature request: close registration

[EsmailELBoBDev2]

Hi, I wonder if there a way to close the ability to create new accounts? I want to self-host piped but in same time I want to make it private only me who can sign up

I think you should make a fork and disable this feature. then, host your version

[EsmailELBoBDev2]

oh okay, which part can I change?? the project seems big and I'm newbie

[EsmailELBoBDev2]

Also why not? invidious got that feature...

[FireMasterK]

The option is present as a configuration option: https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped-Backend/blob/master/config.properties#L26-L27

[EsmailELBoBDev2]

Thanks
I already looked into the file but did not find anything about it (docker generated it!) so maybe let docker generate full copy instead of this?

[FireMasterK]

They've now been added in TeamPiped/Piped-Docker@c4fe0c1!

Changing config properties still need to be better implemented, however. (perhaps in the script itself)

[EsmailELBoBDev2]

I know it's out of scope but seems I created DB and can't remove it :)

I noticed I had to change "changeme" password but clearly I did not notice it and I tried to take the volume down and clean everything, even removed docker folder and recloned it from git but seems the DB exist somewhere and I ran docker run --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock containrrr/watchtower --run-once piped-frontend piped-backend ytproxy varnish nginx caddy postgres watchtower but no luck too

[FireMasterK]

Just delete the data/ folder. Ensure the password is same as the init password in postgres's docker-compose.

[EsmailELBoBDev2]

oh, I forgot to look up in docker-compose. this explains a lot! thanks agian

[EsmailELBoBDev2]

Oh right I forgot to mention, I want to add my instance: https://piped.esmailelbob.xyz/

It's hosted in Canada and no CDN

[FireMasterK]

Your instance has been added! Thanks for hosting an instance :D

[EsmailELBoBDev2]

Your welcome and reply in mastodon xD

also it was nice move to rickroll me by visiting your site....

[EsmailELBoBDev2]

Hi again @FireMasterK can you add my tor version of piped? I tried to look up in repos and add my instance but I'm confused where you save the list!
http://piped.lqs5fjmajyp7rvp4qvyubwofzi6d4imua7vs237rkc4m5qogitqwrgyd.onion/

Never mind, seems I can't mirror it over tor, do you have any idea how to achieve it?

[FireMasterK]

The suggested way to do that would be to create a copy of the services in the docker-compose.yml, and copy the config files, however setting it up isn't easy, I'll add support to the script soon.

Currently, the instances API doesn't support onion URLs either, I'll need to add support for this too.

Also: Your instance seems to go down from time to time and starts failing the healthcheck: https://pipedapi.esmailelbob.xyz/healthcheck, which is likely caused by a database issue.

Because I restart it hourly, I noticed when I leave it running I get DB issues indeed
