widdly

This is a minimal self-hosted app, written in Go, that can serve as a backend for a personal TiddlyWiki.

Requirements

Go 1.7+

Installation

go get github.com/opennota/widdly

Usage

Put index.html next to the executable (or, alternatively, embed index.html into the executable by running zip -9 - index.html | cat >> widdly). Run:

widdly -http :1337 -p letmein -db /path/to/the/database

• -http :1337 - listen on port 1337 (by default port 8080 on localhost)
• -p letmein - protect by the password (optional); the username will be widdly.
• -db /path/to/the/database - explicitly specify which file to use for the database (by default widdly.db in the current directory)

Build your own index.html

git clone https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5
cd TiddlyWiki5
node tiddlywiki.js editions/empty --build index

Open editions/empty/output/index.html in a browser and install some plugins (at the very least, the "TiddlyWeb and TiddlySpace components" plugin). You will be prompted to save the updated index.html.

Changing the storage engine

Currently the only way to chnage the storage engine is to chnage line 40 in main.go to import a different storage engine and re-build the default is sqlite but you can also use:

• _ "./store/flatfile"
• _ "./store/sqlite" _ "./store/bolt"
