Re: [tw] [TWC]Self-hosting

[Robert Edwards]

Replying to myself so that if anyone else comes along and looking at this 
later there will be breadcrumbs.

So far I'm having (mostly) success with MicroTiddlyServer -- 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywikiclassic/Eb48yQBof5c

I still need to tweak a few settings to my liking but I'm able to access, 
edit & save my TWC from any device within my home network, and by VPNing 
into my network I'm also able to do the same from outside.

Thanks!

 I'd like to self-host the TWC-based dGSD that I've been using for 
 years. I previously used Jeremy's TiddlyWiki in the Sky but that went away 
 with DropBox's api change. David Szego's TW5-based *Cardo* isn't 
 clicking with me and my dGSD has a lot of info that would be painful to 
 move over into a cardo. Arlen's TWITS5 port is close but I can't save (it 
 fails with the error "You need to save this TiddlyWiki to a file before 
 you 
 can save changes"). 

 So what I'm trying to do is more or less replicate the functionality of 
 classic TWITS but do so securely on my own server, in my own house. I need 
 to be able to access it from a laptop or mobile, either on my own home 
 network or remotely by VPNing into my network when I'm on the road. I've 
 got a dedicated RPi that's already running my VPN endpoint that I foresee 
 serving the file.

 I've searched for solutions and found several apparent possibilities 
 (e.g. TiddlyServer), but it's not clear if they are indeed actual 
 solutions 
 (i.e. will they fulfill my need) and which would be most appropriate. 
 Also, 
 there's been quite a bit of link rot and archive.org doesn't have many 
 of the dead links archived.

 I'm sure someone must have experience doing something similar -- anyone 
 have any suggestions you'd like to share?

 Thanks!

Re: [tw] [TWC]Self-hosting

[Robert Edwards]

I got busy with other things but finally got back to trying this. I have 
updated my twc to core version 290b3. Saving now seems to work on chrome on 
macos and windows 7. It does not work on FF on either os -- it wants me to 
download the new file. The same occurs on safari on macos and ios (once I 
forced allowing editing). Based on the desktop results I had high hopes for 
chrome on ios but so far all I've been able to get is the "Reading HTML 
file" popup then it appears to hang. It never proceeds farther and I never 
get my TW. I wish I knew how to debug the DB api and get some visibility 
into what it's doing

Thanks!

Hi Arlen,

I am a happy user of https://twcloud.github.io/dropbox/ but it does not 
save my TWclassic version 2.81. I do get the message, that it is saved, but 
at the same time I see a file with a strange name and the message network 
error. It is happening with all my TWclassics.

Re: [tw] [TWC]Self-hosting

[Robert Edwards]

Thanks! But it still tells me I must save it before I can save it.

You may have hit on something -- my TWC is based on an older core version 
of TW. When I first began using it I attempted to update it but ran into 
compatibility issues with some of its plugins. Perhaps it's time I revisit 
trying to update it.

Re: [tw] [TWC]Self-hosting

[Arlen Beiler]

Just thought I would mention that there are two links now, which use two
different mechanisms.

https://twcloud.github.io/tw5-dropbox/ - TW5 only
https://twcloud.github.io/dropbox/ - TW5 and possibly TWC

Try both if you are working with TiddlyWiki5. They each use different
methods, but the second link is newer and has more features. It is more
likely to work, unless you have a really old TW5 file. TWC support is
spotty, but should work for the latest versions.

Hope that helps,
Arlen

[tw] [TWC]Self-hosting

[Robert Edwards]

(Sorry for posting in the "wrong" group but there's a lot more traffic 
here, as well as a lot of TWC expertise!)

I'd like to self-host the TWC-based dGSD that I've been using for years. I 
previously used Jeremy's TiddlyWiki in the Sky but that went away with 
DropBox's api change. David Szego's TW5-based *Cardo* isn't clicking with 
me and my dGSD has a lot of info that would be painful to move over into a 
cardo. Arlen's TWITS5 port is close but I can't save (it fails with the 
error "You need to save this TiddlyWiki to a file before you can save 
changes"). 

So what I'm trying to do is more or less replicate the functionality of 
classic TWITS but do so securely on my own server, in my own house. I need 
to be able to access it from a laptop or mobile, either on my own home 
network or remotely by VPNing into my network when I'm on the road. I've 
got a dedicated RPi that's already running my VPN endpoint that I foresee 
serving the file.
