• Using a long password with symbols passed set-up fine, but failed to log-in later; use less-complex password
• Use a relay or bogus email address during account creation to protect against potential spam ³⁾
• Disable Allow user registration immediately under Configuration → Options → General → Permissions
• Seemingly have to enable Activate comments in order to prevent broken CSS on the bottom of image pages, but can uncheck Comments for all so that nobody public can comment
• Activate Boostrap Darkroom theme
• TODO: Sometimes(?) when writing a log file, SELinux will deny it and cause the Admin panel to break; possibly setting logging level to EMERGENCY prevents most actions from causing logging and thus no log file to be created
