A themed version of TiddlyWiki5 focussed on managing programmers notes

This repository is no longer maintained

Tiddly-Dark has been replaced with Tiddly Dark Desktop. This is an Electron app that installs the server-side components locally in ~/.tiddly-dark when first run.

The wiki directory can be used for server-only installations if required, local or remote.

Using Just the Server Component locally

• Install Node JS
• Install Tiddlywiki: npm install -g tiddlywiki
• Download and run the desktop app
• Open a terminal and cd into ~/.tiddly-dark
• Run tiddlywiki . --listen
• Open http://localhost:8080 in a browser

Hosting on a Remote Server

• Upload the wiki directory to the remote server
• Install Tiddlywiki and Node, similar to the above steps
• Take steps to secure the wiki, preferably with authentication and https
• One approach might be:

export USERNAME=yourname
export PASSWORD=yourpassword
tiddlywiki . --listen \
    host=0.0.0.0 \
    port=8181 \
    tls-cert=/path/to/cert.pem \
    tls-key=/path/to/privkey.pem \
    username=$USERNAME \
    password=$PASSWORD

This gives read/write access only to the specified user/pass.
