Nextcloud <https://nextcloud.com/> is basically a self-hosted file server with a ton of add ons <https://apps.nextcloud.com/> to increase functionality including anything from a map plugin to video chat, bookmarks, rss reader, and integration with software such as collabora and only office. It is a fork of owncloud and is very mature with an enterprise level of products, however the self hosted version is more than enough for a small group of individuals. It has file syncing software including mobile apps for all major OSes. It allows the creation and administration of multiple users and groups with fine tuned access control. You can connect to third party storage solutions like Dropbox.
What I am referencing with this post is using nextcloud to host and manage the files of a standalone tiddlywiki that are served with nginx or any other webserver like apache. So one could either use tiddlywiki's download saver and sync the tiddlywiki and associated files between your desktop and nextcloud instance or do what I do and use the tw-receiver <https://github.com/sendwheel/tw-receiver> plugin so one can save the standalone from the web and not worry about any kind of syncing so that you are completely independent of any one desktop. This setup would have the greatest utility for someone using tiddlywiki in conjunction with a lot of external files, such as images or more likely articles and books you have taken notes on and referenced in your wiki. I use nextcloud to manage all the files and directories and nginx to serve them. Nextcloud has a plugin called external sites <https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/external> which basically sets up in iframe within the nextcloud website so you can basically integrate the tiddlywiki into the nextcloud experience, something that would be useful if you used it with multiple users especially. This works well with the nodejs tiddlywiki as well right out of the box. In this way tiddlywiki basically becomes an add on for your nextcloud instance. So at the most basic level Nextcloud is an excellent self hosted file management solution that would allow one to replace services like Google Drive and what I discovered is that the hosted files can also be served by a webserver like nginx.
