There is not a one-button-click to take it public. Instead, go in and start adding various read permissions to the special "nobody" and/or "anonymous" users. The difference between "nobody" and "anonymous" is that "anonymous" has to log in, using a password provided on-screen, which is an impediment to robots and spiders, whereas "nobody" can do things within any login sequence at all. Everyone who visits the website inherits the permissions of "nobody", regardless of whether or not they are logged in. Anybody who logs in (either as "anonymous" or as any other user) inherits the permissions of anonymous. On the Fossil self-hosting repo, "nobody" has permissions "gjozr" and "anonymous" add permission "h". In addition, on the Admin/Access page, the "Enable hyperlinks for 'nobody' based on User-Agent and Javascript" button is checked. Those settings are sufficient to provide a good public access site. Your question points up the need for us to come up with a new-administrator tutorial of some kind.... -- D.
