Minimal Ruby Server

[Jim]

I use Ruby and so always have it installed. If you do too, here's a minimal server using Ruby Webrick. It just serves up files from the same folder and handles saving.

Once running, just point yor web browser at localhost:8000 to view the folder listing, and click on your wiki html file.

You should add this as a PR as saver #21 at TiddlyWiki.com

Will this also serve images?

I've updated the file to create a back-up file on save. It might slow things down on large TW's but better to be safe than sorry.

I'm not against it, but have no idea.

Images in a TW (which is just html)? Then yes it works.

[Mark S.]

No, I meant images to external files. Adding images to TW directly slows it down very quickly.

Both of these work - a remote image and a local image:

Jim,

My cpanel account permits the use of Ruby on Rails. Can you possibly provide guidence on using this to serve tiddlywiki files that can be saved?

I would be really worried about using this on a world-facing server. Or does WebBrick have security built in somehow?

[Jim]

Sorry Tony I don't have the knowledge to help with that.  I agree with Mark - I would only use it locally and as-needed, shutting it down when you no longer need it.

[Jim]

Cool, thanks.

That's fun! I've been experimenting with supporting Tiddlywiki and integrating parts of it with my Python application.

I've found that in Python you can use the WsgiDAV library to serve single file TiddlyWikis very nicely.

All you need to do is install wsgidav library:

pip install wsgidav
# or pip install --user wsgidav

After that you can run:

wsgidav --host=0.0.0.0 --server wsgiref --port=80 --root=/path/to/your/tiddlywiki/

You can also use it to integrate into an existing web app or building something else. Here's the documentation.

Use the latest Tiddlywiki with the fixes for WebDAV or the wsgidav from git to avoid 412 errors.

Hope it's useful to someone.

Regards,

Sebastian

Oh snap -- method #22.

Does using 0.0.0.0 expose server to the entire local web (in which case there is a coffee-house danger) ?

Thanks!
Mark

[Sebastian Silva]

Yes I should've mentioned that - you can use 127.0.0.1 to just use it yourself.

I don't remember which is the default.

Regards,

Sebastian

I think we really just need one method called "Serving static files with saving" and include everything that provides that capability using the put saver or equivalent mechanism. :)
