Carlos,

Most interesting question! 80% of the advantage of running TW5 on my phone
is that I can use the wiki *directly* from my local networks, so that I
don't have to sync it at all between my other hosts, just refer to it's IP
and port and use it from any browsers. Of course, you also need a backup
mecanism from your phone to some external host, but that's a different
issue.

There is one drawback though: this is of course not secure, because

   1. your wiki becomes available to everyone on your local network
   2. the data circulates in clear over the network

So one needs to find a way to setup an https proxy on Termux, that would
only accepts incoming requests from selected IPs. I know how to do that
with Apache, but since only lighttpd is available on Termux, I didn't
explore that option yet: I'm obviously not the paranoid kind of guy.

In some situations (train/plane), the problem can be solved by setting up
an ad hoc network between the phone and the host, but this is clearly not
ideal if you also want to access the Internet and your mobile data plan is
limited :-)

Regards,
