We've expanded overview-local so you can make your Overview server a public website.

Just set `OV_MULTI_USER=true` and `OV_DOMAIN_NAME=overview.on.a.domain.you.control` and re-run `./start`. Follow the instructions you see in `./tail-logs` to register DNS records and route Internet traffic to your computer. Overview will automatically create SSL certificates for you. Here are more detailed instructions.

Routing Internet traffic to your computer is sometimes hard (or impossible). You may need to enlist an expert -- and we at Overview aren't experts on your Internet setup. You may need passwords for online services, and you may need to spend money. We don't know. Your system administrator or ISP can help you run Overview as a public website, using the instructions we provide.

Oh -- and while we were fiddling with networking, we fixed problems a lot of users were having involving "Add View." If you've been having problems accessing word cloud, multi-search and other plugins, please `./update` and try again!

Enjoy life,
Adam
