Someone is attempting to deploy a commit to a Personal Account owned by @electerious on Vercel. @electerious first needs to authorize it. |

Thanks for the PR! There was already a similar experiment, but we couldn't find a way to protect the UI while keeping the /api endpoint public. |
|
Could we mark tokens then to know if they had been generated with or without a password and then only let the /api endpoint's more sensitive operations work if the token was generated with credentials? |

As described in Issue #276, if a user has their instance of Ackee behind a reverse proxy, then it is possible that they might want to handle authentication on the proxy level instead of on the Ackee level. Therefore this PR adds a
ACKEE_ANONYMOUSvariable that when set totruewill automatically generate a session when opening the UI instead of prompting the user for credentials. This even makes it possible to run an instance of Ackee without aACKEE_USERNAMEandACKEE_PASSWORDeven set.
