Currently, it's possible for anyone with access to the server's API (which if it's connected to the internet, is everyone) to create a user account and begin using immich.

It'd be great if it were possible to prevent registration, probably through an environment variable. This way, the admin can manage creating accounts themselves, and then just keep the API disabled everywhen else.

There will be a one-time registration for the first user who will be assigned as an Admin for the server. The register functionality will then be disabled, new users can only be created by the admin user.

You can try out this feature by updating the repository and pulling the latest images for the docker services. There is a new environment variable you have to put in for this to work. Please check .env.example for more detail. I am closing this issue now.
