A different approach
This approach uses container to container communication. This requires that the bug in /overleaf/services/web/app/src/Features/User/UserRegistrationHandler.js is fixed. see https://github.com/overleaf/overleaf/issues/1206
EmailHandler.promises.sendEmail('registered', {
is missing an await.
await EmailHandler.promises.sendEmail('registered', {
I fixed the file outside of the container and mount it into the overleaf container (i.e. modify compose.yaml) via volumes: - /root/overleafserver/UserRegistrationHandler.js:/overleaf/services/web/app/src/Features/User/UserRegistrationHandler.js
More restrictive
We can block users via the tools/blocked_users.json. And we allow domains for tools/allowed_domains.json for which creation of account is allowed. e.g. uni-bremen.de allows @*.uni-bremen.de and @uni-bremen.de. Furthmore, invited people can also create accounts.
No google
I replaced the google captcha because of data privacy reasons... Just, kidding I wasn't able to make it run. Thus I replaced it by a python solution.
How to use this version
Set a secret key in tools/secret_key.json.
Set tools/allowed_domains.json to your needs.
Make sure that in tools/main.py is set correctly for your setup:
container_name_mongo:str = "overleafmongo"
port_mongo: int = 27017
container_name_overleaf: str = "overleafserver"
When you are happy with the setting, run:
make_image.sh
And then
up.sh
Don't forget to set your proxy correctly. An example for nginx see nginx.conf.
