Hey guys,

I just got TiddlyWiki working on my server with node.js and apache proxy, and now everyone can see and edit my wiki.

But I want to make it "read only" for other people unless they're authenticated.

Is there a way of doing this? Thank you for your help.

If you're running 5.1.19 you can pass a couple of parameters to the starting command and it works as you describe.

https://tiddlywiki.com/#WebServer%20Basic%20Authentication

For example, this works well on my server (although I use a file with usernames/passwords in production rather than as command-line options)...

forever start --spinSleepTime 10000 \
/usr/local/bin/tiddlywiki /home/jbaty/apps/wiki/batywiki \
--listen "readers=(anon)" writers=jack username=notmyusername password=thisisnotmyrealpassword

Also note that I'm using "forever" to keep things running. You can just use "tiddlywiki ..." instead. Hope that helps.

It works perfectly, thank you!

How did you get the apache proxy setup? I'm hosting it using node.js on an ubuntu box at home and I'm getting stuck there.

I actually switched to Nginx after posting this because the configuration was easier, but Apache also worked fine for me.
