Hi Heusmich, I think a first option could be to serve a tiddlywiki file via WebDav : not only it can give access to the wiki from anywhere on your network, but it will also handle the saver operations without any further configuration. There are many WebDav services available for the Linux platform, but Rclone is probably one of the most easy to use, yet very powerful.
So a basic, unsecure, command for serving a TiddlyWiki file that resides in your ~/public_html/wikis repository with Rclone (let's call it mywiki.html) would be: rclone serve webdav ~/public_html/wikis/ --addr 0.0.0.0:8998 That's it! As you guessed, it will make all the files present in ~/public_html/wikis/ available at the port 8998 on your Linux machine. So if your server has the IP address 192.168.1.3 on your network, pointing a browser to http://192.168.1.3:8998/mywiki.html will serve the file mywiki.html on HTTP, and write any modifications directly on the same file. As Mario noted, such a simple setup means that you must really trust your network. Even if you are the only person who uses it, some applications running on your other machines can easily discover your WebDav service, and do whatever with your wiki file. The next step would thus be to add an authentication file with htpasswd. The command "htpasswd -cB .myhtpasswd.txt me" would ask you a password for the user *me*, then create the file .myhtpasswd.txt with that password encrypted. Now you can reissue a slightly more secure command: rclone serve webdav ~/public_html/wikis --htpasswd ~/.myhtpasswd.txt --addr 0.0.0.0:8998 Each time someone wants to connect to http://192.168.1.3:8998, (s)he will be asked for their credentials. But if an application is sniffing your network, it will see the password as you type it. The next step would thus be to add a key and a certificate so that rclone serves through HTTPS instead of HTTP. https://tiddlywiki.com/#Using%20HTTPS explains how to generate the key and the self-signed certificate. Once you have the cert and the key file, you can enhance the above command by issuing: rclone serve webdav ~/public_html/wikis --htpasswd ~/.myhtpasswd.txt --addr 0.0.0.0:8998 --cert ~/.tls/server.crt --key ~/.tls/key.pem This is more reasonable, although you'll notice that your browser complains that the certificate is self-signed. Now you are ready to try a different approach, that is serving your wiki through NodeJS. See the two tiddlers at https://tiddlywiki.com/#WebServer:%5B%5BInstalling%20TiddlyWiki%20on%20Node.js%5D%5D%20WebServer Regards, -- Xavier Cazin.
