Self hosted - Create invite?

[damien67]

Super exciting project!!

After a bit of struggle I got the stack running without error in my Docker environment.
I did set the option REVOLT_INVITE_ONLY=1 (trying to create a safe place for my kids and family)...now, how do I create a user/invite??

I went round and round in the documentation but cannot find a way to do it!

If you don't mind toying around with the database, currently you create invites by creating new documents in the invites collection.

A simple way to do this would be:

docker-compose exec database mongosh

Then insert a new invite code:

use revolt
db.invites.insertOne({ _id: "invite code" })

Or create several:

db.invites.insertMany([{ _id: "a" }, { _id: "b" }])
