For whatever reason, the crazy dev in me wanted to get a TiddlyWiki server/Node.js running on Android ... and it works! I'm now running my TwTube development TW5 serving even video media to the tablet's web browser.

The ingredients:
  1. "Pocket Git" Android app ($): a graphical git client; I used this to clone my GitHub thediveo/twtube repository to my Android tablet.
  2. "Dory - node.js" Android app: Node.js runtime with npm support. It also comes with an integrated git client, but that can only clone.
  3. In d/node.js:
    1. add the cloned repo project from the file storage.
    2. run "npm install -g tiddlywiki" -- this takes quite some time without any terminal output, so be patient.
    3. run "npm start" -- wait for the logging messages to show up that tell you that the tiddlywiki server is running on 127.0.0.1:8080.
  4. In Chrome/Firefox enter URL "localhost:8080".
  5. Voilà!
I haven't yet found an easy way to stop my tiddlywiki server except to open a shell from d/node.js, do a "ps -A", then look for the node process, and kill it.
