Dear TiddlyWiki crowd.

I am a bit annoyed and am asking for your help.

I want to synchronize a 5 Wiki to a remote URL, preferably a self-hosted tiddlyspot, but I cannot find its sources.
So I thought, as the plugin states compatibility, let's setup a TiddlyWebWiki.

Even that I managed, thanks to the available Docker container, but then instructions disappear.

I am drowning in old links referring to the TiddlySpace and TiddlyHoster legacy.

Even though digging through this non-linear documentation experience allowed me to create and configure new bags and users for the TiddlyWebWiki service, it is not apparent how to connect it to my (Node running) TW5 instance.

I thought I could edit locally and push changes when ready, without having to send the full index.html, but by making use of the individual tiddler connection. Yet the alternative configuration only allows for a crude selfhosted store.php (that only eats the big file, like the couchadaptor example) and nothing like self-hosted TiddlySpot or TiddlyWebWiki in general. What am I missing at this point?

This is a repeating attempt to enter the TiddlyWiki world in a convenient web way. As my experiences grow, the impression remains this is not even wished by the community.

Other implementations of different stores don't get past Proof-of-Concept state, etc.pp.

*rrr ;)

Thanks in advance,

Jon

Hi Jon,

I'm one of the tiddlyspot people.

We've like to open source tiddlyspot (and make some long-delayed improvements), but just haven't had time.  Best situation would be that Simon or I get retrenched, then we'll get to it :)

But I can confirm that tiddlyspot is just a pretty looking wrapper around BidiX's store.php / UploadPlugin.  So in theory, if you have store.php, you can have your self-hosted tiddlyspot.  It is a huge pain to set up -- which was one of the triggers for us creating tiddlyspot -- but you'll get there :)

Probably it'd be much better to run the latest node host that comes with tw5, though..

Cheers
Daniel

 +1 :-)

Merely including tw5 as one of the selectable "flavours" would be a great and important (and even simple?) step.

I am basically really only interested in having a world-readable tiddlywiki that only I can edit, which doesn't involve GitHub Pages and the fat HTML file.

Could we conclude a path for enabling this scenario?
