Starting from version 3.11, it will be possible for users to use the web app without needing an account (feature requested here).

This feature is opt-in, it is disabled by default. To enable it, the admin of the Meelo will have to set the ALLOW_ANONYMOUS environment variable to 1 (and restart the instance for the change to be applied).

When this feature is enabled, the login page on the web app will show an additional Login anonymously button.

When a user is logged in anonymously, some restrictions apply:

  • They cannot create playlists
  • Play history is not saved
  • Uploading images and changing resources' type is disabled
  • The 'Download' and 'Archive' buttons are disabled
