Bind address always 127.0.0.1 when starting from Tiddlywiki from systemd

[leeand00]

Here is my Unit File:
[Unit]
Description=TW5 Bacula Wiki
After=nginx.service
Requires=nginx.service

[Service]
TimeoutStartSec=5000
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/tiddlywiki /home/pi/tw5/linux/bacula --server 9094 $:/core/save/all text/plain text/html "" "" %H
User=Tw5
Group=Tw5

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

When I start it I get the following:

Jun 8 21:16:57 wiki tiddlywiki[1037]: Serving on 127.0.0.1:9094

I was hoping instead that it would bind to the ip of the DNS name (%H) ip but that didn't work either.

I've also tried 0.0.0.0 in the command without any luck.

Thank you,
Andrew J. Leer

I was trying to deal with this all night myself. Googling didn't show any answer. I finally got it working, though I don't know why it works this way but not the other way. 

I had to use a environmentfile and variables for the command. Except for passing a blank user and password, I had to type that manually or it would host on 127 still. Maybe doing it without a conf file would work if you just put quotes around everything. That seems to be what made it start working finally for me in the conf file. 

Good luck. 

This is my tiddly.service

and the /etc/tiddlywiki.conf:

WIKI="/home/user/newwiki"

USER=""

PWD=""

IP="0.0.0.0"

Figured this out via somebody else's post somewhere else...the deal is that you have to include an environment variables file, and fill in the values with that...

$ cat tw5resume.service.envvars
TW5LOC=/usr/local/bin/tiddlywiki
WIKILOC=/home/pi/tw5/jobhunt/resume
SERVERARG=--server
WIKIPORT=9098
ROOTTID=$:/core/save/all
RENTYPE=text/plain
SRVTYPE=text/html
USRNAME=****
PASSWD=****
HOST=wiki.domain.lan

and then...

Or something along those lines...now I'm having another issue..in which I can't get the thing to start up on boot on the pi, but once it's booted I can get in there and turn the thing on.

Love to have a step by step breakdown/guide of your installation on the pi. I assume your doing a node.js thing. I've tried a few times but just bounced off it.
