Signup page remains disabled even though DISABLE_REGISTRATION is false

[lucian-duta]

📜 Description

After setting DISABLE_REGISTRATION=false in my env file and restarting, the signup page still does not render.

👟 Reproduction steps

1. Remove any inline DISABLE_REGISTRATION from docker-compose.yml and add an env_file: ./postiz.env entry.

2. In postiz.env, set:

   DISABLE_REGISTRATION=false
   

3. Run:

   docker-compose down && docker-compose up -d
   

4. Confirm inside the container:

   docker-compose exec postiz sh -c 'echo DISABLE_REGISTRATION=$DISABLE_REGISTRATION'
   # prints "false"
   

5. Visit https://postiz.site.com/signup — the page still shows “Not found” / hides the form.

👍 Expected behavior

With DISABLE_REGISTRATION=false, the signup form should be available for new users at /signup.

👎 Actual Behavior with Screenshots

The /signup route remains inaccessible and the UI hides the registration form entirely, despite the flag being false.

📃 Provide any additional context for the Bug.

• I have cleared browser cache and tried in incognito mode.
• Other env vars (e.g. JWT_SECRET, API keys) are loading correctly.
• The Postiz docs don’t mention a separate frontend flag for registration, so I did not set anything else.

👀 Have you spent some time to check if this bug has been raised before?

• [x] I checked and didn't find similar issue

Remove the env entirely, known bug.

Code uses DISABLE_REGISTRATION as a string but tries to evaluate it as a boolean. "true", "false", "maybe", will all evaluate to true.
