Thanks so much for taking a pass at #156, @midorikocak! And thanks for your patience while we got around to reviewing this PR.

Adding an environment variable to trigger the public site behavior seems like a great way to opt-in to unauthenticating most of the site.

Since Library pages are rendered dynamically (except for caching of doc contents), would you be interested in making the edit buttons conditional based on the login status?

In that case, I wonder if we could trigger the login flow only on a predetermined url (like /login) so that administrators could view the site edit buttons.

That approach would also lend itself to the expansion of authenticated-only pages (like an audit log of some kind), but could come in a separate PR if you'd rather keep this PR more narrowly scoped.

Let me know how you'd like to proceed, and thanks for contributing to Library!
