BadgeKit shows "Sign Ups Closed"

[JoonasVaino]

I went through the tutorial here: https://github.com/mozilla/openbadges-badgekit/wiki/BadgeKit-Self-Hosting-Guide#before-you-start

The locally hosted BadgeKit loads, but when i log in i get the message:

Sign Ups Closed
Thank you for your interest in BadgeKit. Please note that Private Beta access is currently closed. Check back soon for more updates, but in the meantime, feel free to email us at badges@mozillafoundation.org if you have specific questions.

Is this BadgeKit no longer supported or is there an easy fix for this?

I had the same issue, but it turned out I'd missed the step of adding my email address to the ACCESS_LIST in config.json. It's about halfway down the page on the installation guide.

Looks like it uses a regular expression, so you can probably just allow what you want.
