Backend
Introduction to the backend#
The backend is essentially just an account server. It handles user accounts, syncing, and other account related features.
Recommended Community Backend#
I recommend using the official-backend!
Metrics#
The backend exposes an endpoint for Prometheus metrics which allows you to keep track of the backend more easily, it can be accessed on /metrics.
Ex: https://server.fifthwit.net/metrics
To view these metrics properly, you can use the P-Stream Metrics Dash.
This dash is not functioning properly right now. It does work but certain information can be wrong or outdated. This will be fixed soon
Security#
Optionally, is a security setting:
- Recaptcha support, the server can verify Recaptcha v3 tokens on register and login.
