Describe your issue

My Ghost posts are not accessible when not logged in, and so not publicly visible.

I’m new to YunoHost and Ghost, and this must be a simple configuration issue for one or the other, but I can’t discover it.

Share relevant logs or error messages

There are no error messages. The URL for a Ghost post leads to the YunoHost login page.

In the Ghost dashboard there are several levels of visibility for posts (disclosure: my Ghost blog no longer runs on YunoHost but the dashboard is the same):

Please make sure that your Ghost site is public (General Settings - Make site private make sure your site is NOT password protected) and then go to Membership and make sure default post access is public too.

Thanks for the quick reply. The Ghost settings have access set to public, and the site is not private.

I suspect that it is a YunoHost setting that needs to be adjusted, because access to the blog gets stopped at a YunoHost login prompt.

I dug into YunoHost configuration again and found the problem (user error is lower in the morning). The Visitors group had to have permission added for Ghost.

Thanks again for responding quickly.
