Public user registration for a self-hosted Overleaf CE instance.
A simple form (available on /register path) is offered to the user asking for its email;
the application then logs into the Overleaf instance with the administrator account
and sends a request to create a user.
The user can now create an account by clicking the confirmation link on its mailbox.
There is a Docker image available on
ghcr.io/RobbyV2/overleaf-registration,
automatically built by GitHub Actions.
You can check the example docker-compose.yml file and tweak it with your configuration.
It is recommended to use a reverse proxy such as nginx, to route the application on the /register path overriding the default overleaf route.
The Docker container needs all the following environment variables to function properly:
| Environment variable | Description |
|---|---|
HCAPTCHA_SITE_KEY |
HCaptcha Site Key |
OL_INSTANCE |
Overleaf self-hosted instance (without trailing /) |
OL_ADMIN_EMAIL |
Overleaf administrator account email |
OL_ADMIN_PASSWORD |
Overleaf administrator account password |
