### Making Your Instance Invite-only

Add the following section to your `Revolt.toml` file:
```toml
[api.registration]
# Whether an invite should be required for registration
# See https://github.com/stoatchat/self-hosted#making-your-instance-invite-only
invite_only = true
```

Create an invite:

```bash
# drop into mongo shell
docker compose exec database mongosh

# create the invite
use revolt
db.invites.insertOne({ _id: "enter_an_invite_code_here" })
```
