Registration is disabled

[wardwygaerts]

Although I didn't set the variable to disable registration, I get the following message in the logs and I'm not able to signup:

05-09-2024 22:29:40 The origin to be set is: http://localhost:9866
05-09-2024 22:29:40 Listening on 0.0.0.0:3000

05-09-2024 22:30:18   message: 'Registration is disabled. Please contact the administrator if you need an account.'
05-09-2024 22:30:18 }

Hmmm... This is strange, can you send your docker compose file so I can try and debug on my PC? Thanks!

[wardwygaerts]

All settings are the defaults one I think, I first wanted to get it running before I integrate it in my Traefik setup.

Hi @wardwygaerts

I was facing the same issue. Please change the URL address in your docker-compose where you have included "localhost" to your server name (say "ubuntu-pc"). This will solve the issue.

[seanmorley15]

Yes, that is true. There are some ways to test it.

1. If you go to https://api.adventurelog.app/auth/is-registration-disabled/ replacing with you backend domain, it should tell you if registration is disabled. Although this is likely a server connection issue because it queries this when the registration page is opened.
2. ORIGIN=http://localhost:9866 - if this is not the address you are accessing from, it will bring up a cross site post error. Ensure you only access this app from this address
3. PUBLIC_URL='http://server:81' this should be the public address to the nginx container, it should be accessible where you access your app. This is used for images.

I hope this helps!

Hello @seanmorley15

Is it possible to self host adventure log without a fully qualified domain name? I am only going to use this for personal use and will be using Tailscale to connect to it remotely.

[seanmorley15]

@n00b12345 Yes!, I do not know much about tailscale but I use it all the time myself with localhost on my network. I would assume that to use tailscale you would have to update some variables like ORIGIN and other URL based things in the documentation. Let me know if you have any questions!

[wardwygaerts]

I have it working with my Traefik setup (was not able to get it work locally). Everything seems to be working, except the flags:

url of the images: https://adventurelog.domain.com/media/flags/**.png I added the nginx.conf file.

nginx compose:

nginx:
    container_name: adventurelog-web
    image: nginx:latest
    networks:
      - proxy
    ports:
      - 81:80

    depends_on:
      - server

[seanmorley15]

@wardwygaerts, sorry for the delay. The issue with the images not working is most likely a result of the PUBLIC_URL in the backend not being set to the publicly accessible url to the nginx container. You should be able to access nginx from this url where you access your app to ensure the images are displayed. I hope this helps!

[wardwygaerts]

The PUBLIC_URL is set to the url which I use to access adventurelog.

I now get a 404 when opening a url of a flag.

[seanmorley15]

@wardwygaerts, after doing some research, I would try this: Ensure you DO NOT have this middleware because you want to keep the /media prefix, just forward to the nginx container.

#- traefik.http.middlewares.advnginx-stripprefix.stripprefix.prefixes=/media
#- traefik.http.routers.advnginx-rtr.middlewares=advnginx-stripprefix

then change the line that currently excludes the media route to include it:

- traefik.http.routers.advnginx-rtr.rule=Host(`adventurelog.$DOMAINNAME`) && PathPrefix(`/media`)

[ranasats]

I have a fix for this that is slightly unconventional.

I changed the URL of my nginx container to be flags.domain.com and set PUBLIC_URL to flags.domain.com, and it works perfectly. I removed all of the traefik pathprefix configuration since that did not work for me at all. So for example, my flags now sit like this:

https://flags.domain.com/media/flags/af.png

and it looks fine on my main trips.domain.com

[seanmorley15]

@ranasats, glad its working now! This seems to be a normal configuration because the PUBLIC_URL should just point to the nginx container. Its kind of confusing but its mainly because Django unfortunately does not serve media in production mode.

Let me know if you have any other questions :)

[wardwygaerts]

I changed the URL of my nginx container to be flags.domain.com and set PUBLIC_URL to flags.domain.com

This worked for me too! Actually this seems logic, but did not thought about it. Maybe specify this in the doker-compose example?
