My work on tools related to TiddlyWiki is entirely a side project for me that does not generate any income. If you want to help cover the cost of the time it takes to make these tools, you are welcome to donate at https://www.paypal.me/Arlen22.

TiddlyServer takes the server command of TiddlyWiki on NodeJS and adds it to a static file server. This means you can load and serve any TiddlyWiki data folder in the same way you can serve a single file TiddlyWiki.

• Open single-file wikis and data folder wikis with a single click.
• Allows you to access your wikis from any computer on the network.
• Files save and load instantly on the same computer, and quickly across the network.
• Mount any location on your computer (in theory anything NodeJS can stat).

• Uses a folder structure specified in settings.json allowing you serve any folders on the filesystem in whatever tree structure you like.
• Serves all files found in the folder structure.
• Saves individual files using the put saver.
• Allows you to upload a file to any directory (but not categories), or create new directories and data folders.
  • Want to make a new data folder? First create a directory, then upload your tiddlywiki.info file to it.
• Loads data folders using TiddlyWiki then forwards all requests to the listen command. All data folders are mounted on the path they are found at (e.g. /personal/mydatafolder)
• Saves a backup of the original everytime a single-file TiddlyWiki is saved (if a backup folder is specified in the settings file).

The guide at https://arlen22.github.io/tiddlyserver/docs/gettingstarted.html is the best place to get started.

• Install or download NodeJS v8+. Only the Node binary is required, nothing else.
• Download TiddlyServer and unzip it to an empty directory so you don't merge with an existing directory.
• Create your settings.json file and put it in the TiddlyServer folder or specify it as the first argument to server.js.
• Run node server.js [/path/to/settings.json] [--stay-on-error] [--dry-run]
• The working directory is not used by TiddlyServer except for locating the settings file if specified. Otherwise it expects to find it in the TiddlyServer folder with the server.js file. All other paths are relative to the settings file. This does not apply inside the TiddlyWiki data folder environment, but TiddyWiki does not normally use it either because it uses the data folder path and the boot.js path as its reference paths.

Upgrading is simple. Just follow the installation instructions as usual, then copy your settings.json file from your old installation to your new one. If upgrading from 2.0.x to 2.1.x, just use the example-settings.json file as your starting point and copy the tree over from your old settings file.

If these do not answer your question, feel free to open an issue or ask on the TiddlyWiki Google Group.

The minimum Node version required is

TiddlyServer 2.0: Node v6 TiddlyServer 2.1: Node v8

• Feature requests! If you have a feature you would like to see, open an issue and I will see what I can do. I see many possibilities with this app, and your requests will show me where to focus next.
• If you see a bug, please open an issue describing what is going on and I will try to answer it. Including the console output from the server is very useful to me. The browser console or network request log may contain clues as well.
