-Captcha can be enabled for this home server. This file explains how to do that.
-The captcha mechanism used is Google's ReCaptcha. This requires API keys from Google.
-
-Getting keys
-------------
-Requires a public/private key pair from:
-
-https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/
-
-
-Setting ReCaptcha Keys
-----------------------
-The keys are a config option on the home server config. If they are not 
-visible, you can generate them via --generate-config. Set the following value:
-
-  recaptcha_public_key: YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY
-  recaptcha_private_key: YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY
-  
-In addition, you MUST enable captchas via:
-
-  enable_registration_captcha: true
-
-Configuring IP used for auth
-----------------------------
-The ReCaptcha API requires that the IP address of the user who solved the
-captcha is sent. If the client is connecting through a proxy or load balancer,
-it may be required to use the X-Forwarded-For (XFF) header instead of the origin
-IP address. This can be configured as an option on the home server like so:
-
-  captcha_ip_origin_is_x_forwarded: true
-
