The way things are at the moment, TW5 under node.js only supports a single
wiki at a time. You could run multiple instances, each pointing at a
different wiki directory, but they would have to listen on separate ports
without some additional configuration.

At this point, TW5 isn't intended to be a real, solid, multi-user HTTP
server because that stuff is incredibly hard to get right - and of course
we've already got TiddlyWeb, which benefits from 3 years of use in the
field.

Instead, the HTTP support is designed to support two primary scenarios:

* running an instance of TW5 on your own PC/Mac/Linux fielding requests
from a local browser. This gets around the issues with saving changes when
running the single file version on modern browsers, and makes it easier to
do things like offer storage of individual tiddlers in separate files,
improve drag-and-drop binary file support, and so on. I'm hoping that we'll
be able to offer a simple GUI wrapper for the node.js version which will
make it a one click install to get up and running

* running a private instance of TW5 in the cloud. It should be possible to
use something like CloudSmith Stack Hammer to offer a one-click install to,
say, Amazon's EC2 servers. The idea would be to use the host security
features to limit access to the instance, and then use TW5 batch publishing
facilities to maintain a static copy of the site on Amazon's S3 static web
service

Returning to your original question, I do therefore think that TW5 will
need support for multiple wikis at once, to allow for flexible
implementation of those two scenarios, but I haven't given it much thought.
What sort of scenarios did you have in mind?

Best wishes

Jeremy

Presently it is possible to map a single Tiddlywiki5 server instance to an
existing directory in Apache2:

But this requires that for each wiki one wishes to run, it be run off of
a separate server instance.

Will it be possible to run multiple TiddlyWiki5's off of a single
TiddlyWiki5 server instance?

Thank you,
