HeyForm

Accessing Your HeyForm Instance

• Open your browser and visit: http://<Server_IP>
• Create your first account using the registration page.

Managing Registration (Security Important)

Registration is enabled by default.

To disable new user sign-ups:

1. Edit the .env file: APP_DISABLE_REGISTRATION=true
2. Apply changes: docker compose -f /root/heyform/docker-compose.yml up -d

This prevents unauthorized users from creating accounts.
