Hey all, I've been using Appwrite for a few weeks now and I am looking to get a few friends added to my project. When they go to register for my self hosted instance it throws an error about max users for a project (see attached). I looked through the console and I could only find the Users Limit at the auth level (second screenshot) which was set to unlimited. Any insight here?
Summary
The user was experiencing an issue where new users couldn't register for their self-hosted instance. They initially thought it was due to a cached email from an old invite, but that wasn't the issue. However, they later discovered that they had missed setting an environment variable, which caused the error. They provided a link to learn more about environment variables and shared the specific variable that needed to be set in the `.env` file. The solution was to set `_APP_CONSOLE_WHITELIST_ROOT` to "disabled" and then restart the server using the command `docker compose down && docker compose up -d`.
