For the time being: I'm using this in my NGINX reverse proxy config, maybe it can be of help for someone:
# Redirect /auth/ to /auth/login
location = /auth/ {
return 301 https://subdomain.domain.com/auth/login;
}
location = /auth {
return 301 https://subdomain.domain.com/auth/login;
}

# Block /api/auth/register
location = /api/auth/register {
    return 403;
}
location = /api/auth/register/ {
    return 403;
}

I prefer to take this kind direction.

Is there any change that for time being we can just add simple DOCKER env variable that indicate registration is disabled ?

[egelhaus]

Has been implemented.

@egelhaus is it implemented as proposed (Please add an ENV-Variable called "USER_REGISTRATION" that we can set to "false" to disable new users from creating accounts)? Thanks in advance.
