If you are familiar with setting up Apache, you could definitely set-up an Apache WebDav server. I just followed some generic how-to guides that explains the settings needed to get WebDav, TLS (and letsencrypt), and authentication working on Apache.
The issue is with using TiddlyWiki. When you save your wiki, it sends an HTTP PUT method request. You either get a normal save (like we are used to with TiddlyWiki) or a somewhat cryptic 412 error. The 412 error indicates the save didn't happen because the version on the server is "newer" than the version your browser has. It works nicely when multiple people try to edit the same TiddlyWiki file (I tested this myself). Unfortunately, in order to get the magic ETag value after you save a change, you need to reload TiddlyWiki because you don't get an update to it after the PUT request. *Note:* ETag is just an HTTP header that the server sends with a GET request. It changes when the file changes. When TiddlyWiki saves (does the PUT) it sends the ETag back to the server effectively saying, "save the file if the ETag is this otherwise give me an error". I am planning on writing up a full setup guide to create your own WebDav server using Apache, TLS, Letsencrypt, and HTTP Basic Auth (in digest mode) but I'm not going to until it works properly. Which means without needing to reload. Sadly, my programming skills are seriously lacking. I think I know what should be done in TiddlyWiki's webdav saver, but I don't have the skills to do it.
