Springer, Alvin. Now days I only access my legacy TWC files via TiddlyDesktop, But TW5 is fine to host on a standard php server with tw-receiver. I believe the store.php used to work with TWC and I believe this has being discussed in https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywikiclassic.
Otherwise its easy to use Timimi from my desktop on a webdisk or that is synchronised.
