I forwarded the port to have an access to the server externally but I think there is few things that needs to be done to make the server more secure.

On the login screen the user ROOT shows up. I think username field should be empty.

It would be good if there was an option to delete user ROOT if another admin user has been created as the root user is the most attacked user name.

I think this should make the server a bit more secure.

Agree with this, except the root user cannot be deleted, only the root username can be changed.

This is live in v1.0.5
