How to go into a "Allow anonymous" board?
Hi, I have install homarr as a docker container. I wish to create 2 seperate boards for me myself (default), and for my friends (for people) as shown in the pic. My home has a server (with a few dif services) that is shared for my friends, so I want to create a board to ease the process for them to search each specific service. To avoid the need for my friends to create an account to login into the homarr server, I've set the "For people" board to "Allow anonymous". After that, I opened another device and go to the homarr server using the server ip and port (http://192.168.1.35:8080), but all I see is a login page and I have no idea how to access the "For people" board.

Ah now I finally understand your problem. If you navigate to /, you'll be prompted to log in (always). But you can send the link to the board that allows anonymous users which will not prompt for login.

Can I install Homarr on a Raspberry Pi?
Hi @WayneFong0904 , did you remember to save the settings after you allowed anonymous users?
Can you please also provide the info as requested by @Cakey Bot ?
Yes, im pretty sure that I've enabled that. Btw I'm not quite sure what to do with the Cakey Bot, but my current setup is like this.
And your log?
give me a sec, still reading the doc
Just got the log from ssh console
Did you try restarting Homarr? Does the toggle stay enabled when you refresh the page?
just restarted homarr and the toggle still stay enabled. But nothing changed

you mean I need to go into the "For people" board, and then send the running page's link directly to other people?
Yes
The / will never be accessible for anonymous users
Only your boards that you configured to allow anonymous users will allow them
arh i got it
