exposing lollm to the network is not advised unless you know what to do. Lollms executes code on the host which can represent a great threat if your network is accessible somehow from unknoiwn sources, that's why by default lollms would only expose the basic services and blocks most other services.

I was intending to unlock this one day when I finish building an authentication system to allow for safe multiuser access. Also, as it is set up now, lollms is a single user app: if someone is generating text or images, no other one can call the system.

You can still override everything by setting this parameter in your configuration file (in your personal folder/configs/local_config.yaml): force_accept_remote_access

But as I said, better wait for an actually multi user lollms.
