Self-registration is now controlled at runtime from the admin panel rather
than at build time via an env var. Default: off.
- New `settings` table (key/value/updated_at) plus getSetting/setSetting
helpers. Idempotent first-boot migration seeds allow_self_registration
from the ALLOW_SELF_REGISTRATION env var; after first boot the env var
is ignored and admins control the toggle from the UI.
- New public GET /api/auth/config (no auth) — returns
{ allowSelfRegistration, hasUsers }. The Login page polls this on mount
to decide whether to show a Register link, and to render
"Create the first admin account" mode when the install is empty.
- New admin GET /api/admin/settings + PUT /api/admin/settings/:key for
the dashboard. Constrained to a known-keys allowlist with type coercion
so unrecognized keys can't be stored.
- POST /api/auth/register now reads the toggle from the database instead
of process.env. The first user is still always allowed and is auto-
promoted to admin.
- Admin.tsx grows a "Settings" card with a labelled toggle switch and
toast feedback. The card sits above the user table.
- VITE_ALLOW_SELF_REGISTRATION dropped — runtime fetch replaces it.
Docs: README + .env.example clarify that ALLOW_SELF_REGISTRATION is now
an initial seed only, the going-public checklist points at the dashboard
toggle, and the features list calls out runtime control.
- Remove Mattermost integration (OAuth, channel bridge, file sync watcher,
frontend import modal). RefBoard now ships as a self-contained app.
- Replace SSO Login screen with email/password form (+ optional register link
gated by ALLOW_SELF_REGISTRATION).
- Add SEED_ADMIN_EMAIL / SEED_ADMIN_PASSWORD env-var bootstrap so a fresh
install ships with an admin account on first boot (idempotent).
- ALLOW_SELF_REGISTRATION flag (default false) gates POST /api/auth/register.
First user can always register (auto-promoted to admin).
- Drop mattermost_id and mm_file_id columns + board_channel_links table
from the schema; remove related db helpers and exports.
- Add MIT LICENSE, comprehensive README, .env.example, docker-compose.yml
(bundles MinIO so one command boots a working stack).
- Expand .gitignore for typical Node + Docker dev artefacts.
