TiddlyServer and FenixWebServer ??

[David Masterson]

Has anyone looked at the FenixWebServer?  It appears to be an Open Source Static Webserver ready to be forked on Github that is super-easy to setup and, therefore, ripe to have updates for TiddlyServer added to it to make it compatible with TiddlyWiki for creating your own home Tiddlyserver.  I'm not an expert on these things anymore, but I don't think it would be hard for someone familiar with servers and, in particular, TiddlyServer to make the fix and put it out for the TiddlyWiki community on Github.

Anyone??

Hi, I had take a look FenixWebServer and found that it basically just a simple http server with a great setting UI based on nw.js.

Because TW5 only use "PUT" method to upload full wiki file, it isn't hard to add support to FenixWebServer (add handler here) or any kind of http server.

But what's your main purpose to select FenixWebServer to make a fork? The great setting UI? Or just easy to use (setup path, port, account, and then start)?

For "easy to use", a simplest Tiddlyserver which run a WebDAV server and serve TW5 html file will also do that.

There are so many different WebDAV server implement you could try, eg: this and this.

But this use case (WebDAV) had several issues:

1. any update will upload a full wiki file, a least 2MB for a empty wiki (v5.1.17), that's not small for a mobile user.

2. In most implement, if you set authenticate, then everyone must login to view and with edit permission, you can't let guest view without edit permission.

3. the wiki only load once when open, if there are multiple user edit and save, one of their data will be lost.

To overcome those issues, I make a fork of widdly, merge the benefit of PutSaver (WebDAV) and TiddlyWeb plugin, detail can see here.

Although I'm still coding for more and more features, it's easy to setup and use, with more features. You can give it a try. :)
