I have set up slskd in a lxd container using the binary from github

I am trying to disable logging in while I am on my local network. I have tried setting the authenticate: disabled true flag but its not working

anybody know how to do this?

Sounds like there's something wrong with your setup. I just disabled authentication in my config file and got the expected result. I copy/pasted the snippet below so just double check that's what yours looks like. I also don't have to login every time (except after a container restart) when auth is enabled as long as I check off the remember me box.

  authentication:
    disabled: true

Thank you, I think it did not like the syntax I had when uncommenting all working now :)

Yeah, I have also struggled with the way slskd handles its config file.

I just did this 2 days ago and it worked as expected
