Invite Links

[f0x52]

It would be nice if Gitea had support for invite links, like Mastodon does.
As an instance admin, you can choose who can generate them (admins, moderators, users).
When someone generates an invite link, they can then choose the amount of people that can use it, and after what time it expires.

This would be really nice for semi-public instances.

Hello, I forked @f0x52 's gitea-registration-proxy to implement this in a very simplistic way on my own gitea instance without modifying the gitea code. It's an app which reverse proxies the GET and POST for the gitea /user/sign_up form to enforce a single shared invite token.

If you are curious, this is how I deploy gitea and my fork of the registration proxy:

@ForestJohnson the link to your repository is dead.

@poVoq sorry about that. My server crashes and goes down sometimes. It should be up now. I'll post an additional mirror later today
