Just thought I'd take a minute to chime in here. I made TiddlyServer to solve my own problem of Massive Multi-file Online wikis. It serves the folders you specify in a sort of tree allowing them to be grouped together and easily navigated with the built-in directory index (even the virtual directories or "groups"). When a data folder is accessed, TiddlyServer automatically fires up a node instance of the TiddlyWiki listen command and mounts it at that path, meaning it forwards all requests to the data folder Node server instance. This makes it work identical to the TiddlyWiki listen command for most normal uses of the listen command, except you can access multiple data folders on the same server. Single file wikis (TW 5.1.15 and newer) have a saver already built into them which TiddlyServer uses to save single file wikis. Single file wikis can be backed up automatically on every save, but data folders are on their own by design. I recommend using Git or Dropbox for that.
There are a bunch of advanced options and even authentication, but the basics are enough for most people. It's pretty simple to use but I often notice people having trouble getting it installed, so I thought I'd throw in some install instructions I wrote some time ago. It's fine to just use master (well, aka v2.1 right now) right now: https://github.com/Arlen22/TiddlyServer -- Click the green "Clone or Download" button then select your preferred download method. Cloning the repo is an easy way to get updates but downloading is fine too. Extract it to an empty folder so you don't risk merging with an existing folder. Once you extract it you can move it wherever you want it to be. https://nodejs.org/en/ Go to NodeJS.org and download the LTS version of Node, which currently is 10.x, and install it on the computer you will be running TiddlyServer on. It's pretty straightforward, and the default options should work fine. You don't actually need to install the whole thing, you can also just download a zip file and extract node.exe into the TiddlyServer folder to make a portable install. Since you're working with IIS I'm sure you have enough computer experience know what I'm talking about, but if I'm not making myself clear, just install NodeJS like I described above. Now, here's the part that most people find tricky. Copy example-settings-quick.json and name it settings.json. That's the simplest setup. You can change the tree property to change what folders get served, but all html files and data folders inside it should just work out of the box. The entire documentation for the settings.json file is at https://arlen22.github.io/tiddlyserver/docs/serverconfig.html and the tree property is the first item on the page. Here's a really simple example to get you started. "tree": { "myfolder": "../personal", "workstuff": "../work", "user": "~/Desktop/random", "projects_group": { "tiddlyserver": "~/Desktop/Github/TiddlyServer", "material-theme": "~/Dropbox/Material Theme" } } And that's all there is to it. Once you have your settings.json file setup, just run "node server.js" to start the server. TiddlyServer expects to find the settings.json file in the same directory (which is where I have mine, which is why it's in .gitignore!). I made TiddlyServer simple because I want it to be simple for me to use every day :) Hope that helps On Tue, Dec 3, 2019 at 9:02 AM Victor Dorneanu <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi TT, > > it's not really related to Github.
