Advice on set up for self hosted TW accessible on Mac and iOS

[Jared Volpe]

Sorry if this question has been asked and answered before, but I’d like the latest and greatest instructions and best practices for setting up TW for use on a Mac and iOS and I want to access it at home and away. I’m happy to use TW in Chrome. No need for dedicated apps. I do want to have my TW secured but it would be nice to not have to log in frequently. I want my TW to automatically save backups and it sounds like I can use the plugin for this but I’d like guidance for whichever solution. I’m happy to host on AWS or Google Cloud and use one of the Node versions (Node.js or TiddlyServer) or just use a service like Dropbox or preferably Google Drive or even GitHub or GitLab. Thanks for chiming in!

I would recommend using single file wikis. On your desktop you can use TiddlyServer or TiddlyDesktop to access them. Use Dropbox to sync your folders. And use Quine 2 on iOS to access the files in your dropbox app through the iOS files integration system. Quine 2 allows you to directly access your dropbox files and edit wikis and the changes are saved immediately because Dropbox integrates with the iOS file explorer.

Thanks for the tips. Why Quine 2 instead of just viewing in the browser?

Also, if I use TiddlyServer, can I use TiddlyDesktop later or vice versa?

[Jared Volpe]

Another question. Where is the best place to learn about using plugins, customizing things, and not running into trouble when you upgrade. For instance, I want to use Stroll with a few plugins and I want to make sure I don't do stupid things and wind up in a bad state.

To view in the browser on a mobile the only way to save automatically is if tiddlywiki is on a server. There are solutions I use php with tw-reciever. But you need to install it on your phone or place it somewhere on the internet and that can get messy.

I think arlens suggestion is the best to start with.

On iOS, Quine 2 allows you to access files in your Dropbox. It also enables autosave  Without it, you are likely to lose your changes if you switch to a different app. You can also access your files that are being served through TiddlyServer, but only if you are on the same network. It sounded to me like you wanted to be able to access the files on your iPad anywhere on the go.
