Thank you for posting a link to your site. It's really nice to see a live demonstration of Fossil. I notice that your page is using https - does Fossil do that or do you have something else in between (nginx, etc) that provides the https?

Crypto is something best delegated to others. There are a bunch of ways to host Fossil, several of which offer HTTPS proxying: https://www.fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/server/index.h...

Yeah, I'm just running `fossil server --scgi` in a chroot and then use nginx for TLS.

Another option is running is behind Apache as a CGI, and let Apache handle the HTTPS part. My repos (fossil.wanderinghorse.net) all run as CGIs on a $7/month shared hoster, and have been since 2008, without issues.
