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?

TL;DR
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`.

For that you'll need to edit your .env file and set _APP_CONSOLE_WHITELIST_ROOT to disabled

TypeScript
_APP_CONSOLE_WHITELIST_ROOT=disabled

Then run

TypeScript
docker compose down && docker compose up -d

follow up question, that seems to stop that maximum users error but it throws another error saying that user already exists (they don't)
