I'm a node.js neophyte. I can follow the instructions on node.js installation and everything works, but I can't figure out how to map the 127.0.0.1:8080 to my domain. 

I've attempted to follow the instructions from this stackoverflow question:


But I'm missing something. Please help!

Thanks,
Austin Storm

One thing you may have to do is change the network interface that the node.js instance is listening on. By default TiddlyWiki is only listening on 127.0.0.1; this means that only connections from your local computer will be able to view the wiki. If you would like to be able to view it from another computer on or outside of your network you will need to change the serve command so that it listens on 0.0.0.0 (essentially it listens on all interfaces)

--server 8080 $:/core/save/all text/plain text/html "" "" 0.0.0.0

Anyone able to tell me if or why I should worry about doing that?

Best wishes, Tobias.
