Allow disabling the Alias feature

Open yorah opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Maybe I missed it in the configuration, but it would be nice to be able to deactivate the alias feature.

Note: awesome project, very easy to setup, perfect for a simple works-out-of-the-box selfhosted file sharing project!

It is currently not possible to disable the alias feature. Do you mean disabling globally via config, right? Or as a setting per user? I can imagine to make this happen for a future version.

For the former, one immediate but inconvenient alternative would be to block access to the corresponding api calls in the proxy (and remove any existing Sharry-Alias headers).

In my very simple case, that would be globally. I don't need the feature at all, and it confuses my few users. Plus I don't think I trust them enough (they are not tech-savvy at all) to use it responsibly.

That said, I can see that being able to enable/disable per user could also be a very nice feature for some people.
