tiddlywiki5 and flyio?

[gne...@gmail.com]

Anyone figure out how to get tw5 working in fly.io with persistent volumes?

https://fly.io (I believe it's backed by heroku) is a function-as-a-service provider and they've recently come out with ability to add persistent storage to your function. Better, 3GB included in the free plan.

Seems like a natural for tw5. "Ghost" blog platform figure out how to do this.... https://favadi.com/host-a-ghost-blog-on-fly-io-for-free/

fly.io says:

So they seem to serve "full stack apps" .. It seems to be an interesting service. The blog posts are interesting and full of "techspeak". They give a good overview about their implementation details. 

It seems to use docker images and "covers" them in a light weight virtual machine to start them fast. ...

Seems to be a fit for TW. .. BUT as so often, it depends on what you want to do?

I can see at least 4 different ways to use it.

Do you want to create "static" pages with TiddlyWiki and "just" serve them with a simple "file server"?

  - I think it would be possible to create a container with a read-only filesystem, for maximum security.

    This would be an interesting experiment. Didn't think about that yet :)

Do you want to use the platform as a server and save back?

 - WebDav may be an option. Using single file wikis

 - TWs own server would be an option too. ..

        But I didn't test it with 256MB of ram, which may be a bit low for nodejs.

        256MB seems to be the "base" free tier server

So .. It depend :)

It seems a static web server is built in: https://fly.io/docs/getting-started/static/ ... So no need for an experiment.
