disable callout to api.github.com

[andreasschulze]

the code try to connect to api.github.com (to check for a new version I think)

https://github.com/Joxit/docker-registry-ui/blob/main/src/components/version-notification.riot#L62-L89

is it possible to disable this feature to avoid the connection attempt at all?

Hi,

Yes, this piece of code is for checking new updates, there are no options to disable it.

Why would you remove it ?

Some people like their computer not to make unasked connections. Especially to external servers outside their control. And i guess some people might run this container in a environment where no access to github (or the general internet) is available anyways, it makes sense to allow them to disable this.
