The host parameter tells TiddlyWiki which IP address of the computer that you want to listen on. So if you are connected to a wired network and a separate wireless network, you can specify which IP address you want to listen on and computers can only access it from that IP address. If you set it to 0.0.0.0, it will listen on all available IP addresses on the computer.
By computer, I am referring to the computer you are run the node tiddlywiki.js command on. Hope that helps.
