Hi Panos, I'm glad that people play around with my script, and adopt it to their needs. I was thinking about a cleanup mechanism, too. Now I can take yours. I like open source :-)
Regarding your implementation, I have two questions: 1) Why do you want the user not to see the backup directory? With it being visible, an user could simply open an archived TiddlyWiki for reference without leaving the browser. 2) What is the benefit of using SSL on localhost? Regarding automatic startup: I made the script executable (chmod a+x twserver.py), and added it to the Startup Applications in the Mate Control Center (I'm using Debian with Mate Desktop). Your systemctl solution has the advantage of being Desktop Environment agnostic, but might be slightly more complicated to implement (root access). UBi Am Montag, 30.
