 # Immich Drop Uploader
 
-A tiny, zero-login web app for collecting photos/videos into your **Immich** server.
+A tiny web app for collecting photos/videos into your **Immich** server.
+Admin users log in to create public invite links; invite links are always public-by-URL. A public uploader page is optional and disabled by default.
 
 ![Immich Drop Uploader Dark Mode UI](./screenshot.png)
 
 ## Features
 
-- **No accounts** — open the page, drop files, done  
+- **Invite links (public)** — create upload links you can share with anyone  
+- **One‑time link claim** — first browser session claims a one‑time link; it can upload multiple files, others are blocked  
+- **Optional public uploader** — disabled by default; can be enabled via `.env`  
 - **Queue with progress** via WebSocket (success / duplicate / error)  
 - **Duplicate prevention** (local SHA‑1 cache + optional Immich bulk‑check)  
 - **Original dates preserved** (EXIF → `fileCreatedAt` / `fileModifiedAt`)  
-- **Mobile‑friendly** 
+- **Mobile‑friendly**  
 - **.env‑only config** (clean deploys) + Docker/Compose

-- **Dark mode support** — automatically detects system preference, with manual toggle
+- **Dark mode** — detects system preference; manual toggle persists across pages  
-- **Album integration** — auto-adds uploads to a configured album (creates if needed)
+- **Albums** — add uploads to a configured album (creates if needed)  
+- **Copy + QR** — copy invite link and display QR for easy sharing

 ## Quick start
-Copy the docker-compose.yml and the .env file to a common folder,
+You can run without a `.env` file by putting all settings in `docker-compose.yml` (recommended for deploys).
-update the .env file before executing the CLI commands to quick start the container.
+Use a `.env` file only for local development.

-- Uses a **label‑wrapped input** + short **ghost‑click suppression** so the system picker does **not** re‑open after tapping **Done** (fixes iOS/Android quirks).  
-- Drag‑and‑drop is desktop‑oriented; on touch, use **Choose files**.
-
----

-## Troubleshooting
-
-**Uploads don't start on phones / picker re‑opens**  
-– Hard‑refresh; current UI suppresses ghost clicks and resets the input.  
-– If using a PWA/WebView, test in Safari/Chrome directly to rule out container quirks.
-
-**WebSocket connects/disconnects in a loop**  
-– Match schemes: `ws://` for `http://`, `wss://` for `https://`.  
-– If behind a reverse proxy, ensure it forwards WebSockets.
-
-**413 Request Entity Too Large**  
-– If running behind nginx/Traefik/etc., bump body size limits (`client_max_body_size` for nginx).
-
-**/assets returns 401**  
-– Check `IMMICH_API_KEY` and ensure the base URL includes `/api` (e.g., `http://<host>:2283/api`).
-
-**Duplicate detected but you expect an upload**  
-– The proxy caches SHA‑1 in `state.db`. For a fresh run, delete that DB or point `STATE_DB` to a new file.

 ## Security notes
 
-- The app is **unauthenticated** by design. Share the URL only with trusted people or keep it on a private network/VPN.  
+- The menu and invite creation are behind login. Logout clears the session.  
+- Invite links are public by URL; share only with intended recipients.  
+- The default uploader page at `/` is disabled unless `PUBLIC_UPLOAD_PAGE_ENABLED=true`.  
 - The Immich API key remains **server‑side**; the browser never sees it.  
-- No browsing of uploaded media; only ephemeral session state is shown.
+- No browsing of uploaded media; only ephemeral session state is shown.  
+- Run behind HTTPS with a reverse proxy and restrict CORS to your domain(s).
 
----
+## Usage flow
 
-## Development
+- Admin: Login → Menu → Create invite link (optionally one‑time / expiry / album) → Share link or QR.  
-
+- Guest: Open invite link → Drop files → Upload progress and results shown.  
-Run with live reload:
+- Optional: Enable public uploader and set `IMMICH_ALBUM_NAME` for a default landing page.
