[tw] privacy concerns for self-hosted wiki

Rob,

What is your website host?. I have used .htaccess to secure folders and cpanel 
has a tool to protect folders.

[tw] privacy concerns for self-hosted wiki

2017-10-13 Thread Rob Locher
Greetings all,

I've just discovered TiddlyWiki, what an amazing thing!  It sure beats the 
collection of text files I'd been using.  Somehow I even managed to install 
a wiki on my website by uploading the wiki file itself and store.php.  Now 
I can access my notes from work, hurrah!

I have some privacy concerns.  Currently the wiki's only protection is its 
"secret" URL; anyone who has the URL can edit the wiki.  The username and 
password are pre-populated in the control panel.  It seems as though it 
could be just a matter of time before some bot discovers the wiki and spams 
it.  (I had a bad experience once as the webmaster of a CMS-based website.)

Ideally I'd like visitors to be required to authenticate before even seeing 
the wiki.  I definitely need some sort of control so that not just anyone 
can save it.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

- Rob
