ENABLE_REGISTRATION doesn't seem to work, and sign in only works when behind reverse proxy

[loof2736]

I set ENABLE_REGISTRATION=1, but on the sign in page there is no register button. I created a user with the internal admin API, but when I press the log in button nothing happens. When I put it behind a reverse proxy sign in works fine (Register option still does not show though)

same here

I made a silly mistake, the env var to turn on registration is actually called ENABLE_PUBLIC_REGISTRATION instead of ENABLE_REGISTRATION. I renamed it to make it more precise, but forgot to update the doc :(

And some browsers won't send "Secure" cookie when the website is served locally. Most browsers tend to work with "localhost" (instead of 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0).

Sorry for the inconvenience @loof2736 @rubenixnagios

Same.
Here's what say the docs:

Cherry uses Secure cookie which only works with HTTPS. It works with "localhost" in some browsers too, so you should try use "localhost:8000" instead of "127.0.0.1:8000" or "0.0.0.0:8000" when running locally, or you will need to setup the reverse proxy and SSL for it. Sorry for the inconvenience at the moment, an environment variable flag may introduced in a future release to turn off Secure cookie.

So I guess we shall :

1. Be patient untill this changes
   or
2. Use a reverse proxy.

I'll go with option 1 for now.

@tiritibambix Which browser are you using? Have you tried access http://localhost:8000 ?

Hey, thanks for answering. I'm using a chromium based browser called Vivaldi. I did try http://localhost:8000 with no success.

@tiritibambix In case you have Firefox installed, could you try open http://localhost:8000 with Firefox?

Anyway, I'll add a flag to opt out of secure cookie for people who want to try out locally.

@haishanh I tried with 3 different browsers: Vivaldi, Brave and Firefox. None of them worked.

I just need cherry to work on my local network though, as I use a VPN tunnel when I'm not home.

USE_INSECURE_COOKIE is working.

Thank you
