When I try to run the docker image with the SIGNUPS_ALLOWED set to false like so:

docker run -d --name bitwarden \                                                                                                                                      
  2   -e SIGNUPS_ALLOWED=false \                                                                                                                                          
  3   -e INVITATIONS_ALLOWED=false \                                                                                                                                      
  5   -v /bw-data/:/data/ \                                                                                                                                               
  6   -p 8666:80 \                                                                                                                                                        
  7   mprasil/bitwarden:latest

the signup button is still there and users can still create an account.

I'm running BW version 2.8.0 on Ubuntu 18.04.1 (4.15.0-34) and docker version 18.09.1

Are you sure users can still register? The button won't disappear, because Vault isn't aware of the registration availability, but when you try to register you should get an error response back saying that registrationisn't allowed.

Yes, you can either stop the container and run it again with the same command but adding -e SIGNUPS_ALLOWED=false to it. Or, if you have the admin panel activated, you can change it from there without restarting.
