Feature: Unauthenticated file conversions #114

Would be great if there was an environment variable to allow users to convert files with ought having to sign in first. Is this possible or safe with how the app is currently built?

Is it ok if The unauthorized user can see all conversions? That would be quite easy to do

for me this would be fine since everything in my stack is only local accessibel.

Would be in favor of this feature as well. I would suggest to remove the history "feature" completely for unauthenticated users.

Now it works by generating a random user id above the normal user ids and then signing a jwt with it. Creating a temporary guest user, so all features should still work. Test it and see if it works:)

Tested in Docker and looks like conversion and file history work even when not signed in :)

As expected, I could not get other unauthenticated users to views the converted images even when knowing the URL of the image.
