This was addapted from UBi's initial script found in TiddlyWiki's google group here:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/M64suMWXDYQ/rmPOMiy-BAAJ

This is a more convoluted version of the idea, with the intention of serving the wiki over the internet. If you just want to work with a wiki on your own machine, then UBi's version is simpler and just works. This repo includes things like https, user authentication and git version control.

Contibutions are very welcome

You will need

• Python3
• git (optional)

How to use this

On a Linux system, serving the wiki over the internet (or local network)

• Clone the repository in your home folder (that's where I keep mine at least).
• Run the tiddlypass script (with python3) to make a hashed key of your username and password
• Paste that in the tiddlyserver.config file, along with your other specific details such as ip and port, and https keys
• You can then run the server with

python3 ./tiddlyserver.py

• Alternatively, you can make this into a linux service for systemd (read below), this will always keep the server up.

Serving the wiki on your own machine / Disabling features / Windows users

If you intend to just serve a wiki on your own machine: * You won't need https or user authentication. To disable those features, set the following options in the tiddlyserver.config to "False" * DOAUTH * HTTPS * If you are a windows user, the git backup scheme will not work (untill someone helps me on how to call git with a subprocess in python) * Set the GIT option to "False"

Default wiki

As it stands, the server will serve a directory view of the served folder which can work as a list of your avilable wikis.
If you prefer to have a default wiki you can either manually go to a wiki (e.g. https://mysite.com:6969/defaultwiki.html ), or have one wiki named index.html. This would cause the server to default to that wiki (i.e. https://mysite.com:6969 would land you on your index.html wiki ) but you would not be able to see the directory view and would have to manually maintain links to your other wikis.

How to make it into a service (Linux systems with systemd)

• Edit the .service file to fix the paths
• Make a symbolic link in /etc/systemd/ (you'll need root access for this)\

ln -s /home/user/tiddlyserver/tiddly.service /etc/systemd/system/

• Restart the systemctl daemon\

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

• Start the service

sudo service tiddly start
# you can then try
sudo service tiddly status
# you can then try
sudo service tiddly stop

Possible caveats

This is a git in a git. I'm not sure how sane that is, but it seems to work and this is just a weekend project.
It might be a good idea to remove the git from the outer folder after cloning the repository.
