I have practically zero docker compose skills but for some reason I thought chainging things like passwords was simple.

My family doesnt want to type in nor do they need my complicated umbrel main password to use the metube downloader.

I have tried commenting out the following in the.

~/umbrel/app-data/metube/umbrel-app.yml

```auto
#defaultUsername: ""
#defaultPassword: ""

```

Restarting the container and that changes nothing  
Ive tried adding a simple password in the “” that changes nothing.

I would like to have access like with the mempool. It doesnt as for any authorization.  
At least in network this would be great.

I do not have any open ports so outside coming in wouldnt be an issue I wouldnt think.
