The server exports prometheus metrics at /metrics. If those should not be public, you should block this location in the webserver.

If you have problems with CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing), edit the 'CORS_ORIGIN_WHITELIST' in the configuration. For more information see [CORS middleware configuration options](https://github .com/zestedesavoir/django-cors-middleware#configuration).

To use the dummy mail backend, see: django documentation for email

Insert this line in config/settings/default_settings.py :

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.dummy.EmailBackend'

In your django settings you have to set an API_SECRET that should be known only by the qabel-block server.
