AWS Amazon web services and TiddlyWiki

[TonyM]

Folks,

I am at the Sydney AWS summit it today as part of my professional development. Of course my thoughts return to tiddlywiki, I understand Jeremy uses the aws plugin to host a large online documents suit.

Personaly I am interested in hosting individual wikis that interact with other individual wikis through smart design, the challenge seems to me, scalling the authorisation and if necessary managing many individual wikis. I am keen for each instance to maintain its own independence.

So I thought I would start a thred

I am using EC2 to host my Node.js + TW5. I imagine TW5 can be a very informative wiki to present whatever the AWS services in the back end. Perhaps some syncadaptors need to be build.

The Auth part in TW5 is hard for me, I am trying to use openID, e.g. Google login as a starting point ...

I have token-based authorisation set up with a node backend using JWT as the tokens. It worked for the people who were interested in testing it and we have been using it for Ooktech wikis for a while now. It is built to interact with Bob so the inter-wiki interactions are possible.

I haven't had any reason to make it work with a large authorisation provider, proper security on a small server has been enough for everything I have been interested in doing so far. I don't think it would be too difficult to modify the method of obtaining the token to work with openID or some other token-based credential provider.

I have been distracted by other projects, but the code and what documentation exists is available here https://gitlab.com/ooktech-public/securewikiserver

Thanks a lot! As always.

BTW, what does Ooktech do? Or in other words, how do you use TW5 in Ooktech?

We make custom electronics and software for whatever we find interesting. Things like custom robots and web-interfaces.

We use tiddlywiki to document our projects, most of the federation and remote syncing work I am doing is to help us work together because we are spread out around the world.

I also use it to keep track of my phd work.
