Troubleshooting & FAQ (1)
TroubleshootingWhy is the signup button disabled in self-hosted Kaneo deployment?
The signup button stays disabled because the Turnstile captcha placeholder KANEO_TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY is not stripped when the environment variable is unset. Workarounds: either set KANEO_TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY=1x00000000000000000000AA (Cloudflare's always-pass test key), or run 'sed -i 's#"KANEO_TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY"#""#g' /usr/share/nginx/html/assets/*.js' after container start to empty the placeholder. A permanent fix will update env.sh to empty the placeholder when the variable is unset.
