[h0p3's Wiki]

I think running a performant and secure webserver is a non-trivial task.
The following options are bad if you ever want to walk up to a box you
don't own (and can't install software or modify settings) to login over the
web from a browser to edit your wiki (though, I'm not sure I would trust
such a computer). That's basically what you are seeking, but I suggest you
might not have to go that route.

If you know you will be owning the devices you use to edit the wiki (you
generally would in the Dropbox case), you might consider running the server
from your home (or any secure computer behind a NAT or strict firewall) and
using something like https://zerotier.com/ for a personal VPN across your
devices. You can open your TW server to your LANs and access that server
from across the VPN. This method can work without TW software servers too
because you can open and save the html file from across the VPN (requires
setting up filesharing, and you must watch for something like race
conditions as you would for Dropbox). You may find it useful for other
things as well (e.g. streaming music across your network).

The above is not the method I currently use for my wiki (beware those who
do not take their own advice), but Bob's sexiness may one day force me to
do so. No option is perfect, but I use Resilio Sync and single-file
editing. It's encrypted, the fastest throughput option for single-file wiki
usage, does not rely upon any one particular server to be running,
maintains archives of all edits (can be disabled), provides read-only keys
(and even encrypted keys for storing on untrusted servers), and affords me
offline editing. If you didn't like Dropbox though, there's a good chance
you won't like this method.

My vote is for the VPN because it is one of the easiest to set up in many
cases, it's free, it's secure, and it's versatile.

[tw5] Suggestions or tips how I can host my Tiddlywiki online?

[Robert Freiberger]

Hello, 

I posted earlier that I was having issues with two computers accessing a 
shared Dropbox Tiddywiki. Then I started to think about I can just have 
this hosted online which might be easier. I searched around but I wasn't 
sure how much work this would take and if it's actually secure? 

Ideally, I would like to be able to host my Tiddlywiki online (I'm hoping I 
can use Google Cloud or Digital Ocean) and make sure it's locked down from 
the public. I was thinking about some weird workarounds but the core goal 
is that I could host it in a shared location online and access it securely 
from multiple locations with a password (even better if I could use 2FA, or 
public key). 

Thank you,
Robert
