 Modify or add SQLModel models for data and SQL tables in `./backend/app/models.py`, API endpoints in `./backend/app/api/`, CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) utils in `./backend/app/crud.py`.
 
-### Enabling Open User Registration
-
-By default the backend has user registration disabled, but there's already a route to register users. If you want to allow users to register themselves, you can set the environment variable `USERS_OPEN_REGISTRATION` to `True` in the `.env` file.
-
-After modifying the environment variables, restart the Docker containers to apply the changes. You can do this by running:
-
-```console
-$ docker compose up -d
-```
-
 ### VS Code
 
 There are already configurations in place to run the backend through the VS Code debugger, so that you can use breakpoints, pause and explore variables, etc.
