A theoretical discussion with lots of "concept" talk would be great to have too. But I I think a more pressing need is just a series of step-by-step guides. In all cases assume a $5/month Linode or DigitalOcean Droplet or 3-euro/month scaleway.com ARM machine. But then have separate documents for various configurations: * Apache via CGI * Apache via SCGI * Nginx * Lighttpd * Stunnel4 direct to fossil * Stunnel4 to althttpd then fossil via CGI * Xinetd direct to fossil * Xinetd to althttpd then fossil via CGI * Fossil running standalone (the "fossil server" command) Each of the above should explain how to set up a single repository *and* how to set up multiple repositories operating off of the same domain. Maybe also a separate document on how to lease a linode/droplet/scaleway server and obtain your domain name. The format can be a checklist with intermixed text commentary. -- D.
