Heh, of course after I say all of that there I make a mistake somewhere. The dust bunnies are hiding in the example settings file on GitHub. I made a mistake and put the wrong host in it. But with as careful as I was about default values and not exposing things that shouldn't be exposed I made

It doesn't have to be web facing to be a security concern. If you ever bring your computer or phone to starbucks it is exposed on a public network and if you have anything set up to be served on 0.0.0.0 it is accessible to anyone there, and if it is also able to serve anything from your

What do you want to be able to do on iOS? If you want to be able to edit and view the wiki when the different node options will let you. And I think that I should point out that the node version not serving other files on your computer is because of how servers work, it isn't a tiddlywiki

"tiddlywiki on plain.js doesn't serve images, and the browser will absolutely refuse to let you access the local images while viewing as a localhost web page" That sounds like a *huge setback* for Node.js as a solution for TW5! Glad for Jed and Arlen's work on servers. I'll have to start

Since the server is running on your laptop, it would be it's IP address that you need. You didn't mention whether your laptop was windows or mac. I know nothing of macs, but here's a link to several methods for finding your IP: https://www.wikihow.com/Find-Your-IP-Address-on-a-Mac If you're

Another thing that can make life a lot easier is on everything other than Windows and Android you can use mdns/bonjour for the local network, this lets you name the server instead of having to use the ip address. So for my pie server setup I don't need to know the ip address, I can just got to

RE the first part. Node.js doesn't serve up images. If you can get Jed or Arlen's server's to run somewhere, then they should be able to serve up images. Then you have to determine the path to those files (your local web path, not the physical file path) and change the contents of

File system access on iOS is made to be difficult. It is treated more like a document store database than a normal file system and image access via anything other than the built-in image gallery is difficult. If you want to have a tiddlywiki server that is accessible from the local network
