I am entirely new to TiddlyServer. I'm running Ubuntu 16.04.3 and using Firefox and Chrome. Since I don't know my way around, I'm following your README and the instructions at https://www.didaxy.com/introduction-to-tiddlyserver closely to hold as many things constant as I can.

I have downloaded and installed node.js 8.9.4 by adding the Nodesource repo to my repo list, and I have downloaded and unzipped the source code for the 2.0.11 release:

  https://github.com/Arlen22/TiddlyServer/archive/2.0.11.tar.gz

I created a simple settings.json file:

{
  "tree" : {
    "WorkNotes" : "/home/dubitron/Desktop/Tiddlers/WorkNotes/"
  },
  "types" : {
    "htmlfile" : ["html", "htm"]
  },
  "username" : "",
  "password" : "",
  "host" : "127.0.0.1",
  "port" : "8181",
  "backupDirectory" : "backup"
}

The WorkNotes directory contains a 5.1.7 TiddlyWiki WorkNotes.html I have used for quite a while with TiddlyFox.

From within the TiddlyServer source dir I run the node server (in a screen session for convenience):

screen -S tserv node server.js

which results in the following output in the screen session:

Settings file: /home/cfbearden/opt/TiddlyServer-2.0.11/settings.json
Open your browser and type in one of the following:
127.0.0.1:8181

I can navigate to and view the TiddlyWiki through the node server, but I can't save changes to it. When I click on the Save iconi, I'm prompted with the download Save dialog, which is the same behavior as when I edit the TiddlyWiki via a file:/// path.

• What am I doing wrong?
• Do I need any of the other files in the release (editions-server.zip, editions.zip)?
• Am I supposed to initialize the data directory somehow?
• Do I need to install some further plugins in my TiddlyWiki?
• Does the TiddlyWiki version need to be higher?

Thanks for any help. The idea is promising, but clearly I'm missing something.

@Arlen22 In the docs you talk about the the "bundled version". But that does NOT express what it is or how it differs from the full version.

IMO I'd rename it the "TW Runner" ... (maybe later we can think up something more elegant :-)

$:/config/tiddlyweb/host gets written to the file system when it is set on startup. If it would be a preloaded tiddler or shadow tiddler, could this be prevented?

Data folders whose path is specified directly in settings.json return a 404 error.

Arlen,

Suddenly I am getting 412 errors as below on the console, which stop me saving the whole wiki, on more than one TiddlyServer served wiki. I am using latest general release FireFox and I recently re-installed TiddlyServer-2.0.14

412 ifmatch "1125899906917436-7763470-1540777282000"
412 etag "1125899906917436-7810180-1540777455000"
412 caused by difference in size
412 caused by difference in modified

In this case it seems to be a size error. My Single File Wiki is currently less than 8MB in size.

I will refresh the browser and restart my Windows 10 desktop to see if this helps and will add a comment if it does not reoccur.

I get the following error when attempting to open data folders with TS on termux. Single files seem (so far) to save OK.

Is there something I need to do/tweak to make this work?

Thank you!

I'm trying to set up TiddlyServer on a home file/web server I have running Ubuntu 16.04. Whenever I try to start TiddlyServer I get an error message stating that my address is in use. I've verified the port is available both via netstat and by starting basic web servers on it, e.g. python3 -m http.server 8083. Any recommendations? I've tried installing both from the release bundle as well as cloning the repo directly.

The error:

My settings.json:

        },
        "username": "[...]",
        "password": "[...]",
        "host": "0.0.0.0",
        "port":8083
}

Given that i'm completely new both to node.js and TiddlyWiki pls forgive me if i'm telling some oddity.

I'm still experimenting to see what kind of beast i've got (syntax, macros, widgets and mostly its philosophy that i don't yet completely grasp) and i found really useful making one or more copy of a master wiki file and apply different changes to the different copies just to see the differences, then apply what i like most to the master copy.
Then i delete the copies and make them new from the master with the same names (so i don't have to change settings.json) and restart the cycle.

The problem is that when i delete a copy, the unique backupDirectory remain polluted with backups that are no longer usable and must be deleted manually.

Would it be possible to have the backupDirectory relative to the tree so that each single file instance can have its own?

This would help at least in two ways, one, with this usage pattern, i could delete with a single action both the instance and the backups, second having the each backupDirectory together with its file instance will allow to backup easily them together.

Thanks,
Gabriele

Hello,

Thanks so much for making this great program. I've found it really useful and I hope to see it grow and keep doing well. As such, I was wondering if there's any way you could use help on this repo? I'm gonna have some free time the rest of this month and would love to contribute. I'm quite familiar with node and have used typescript before so I should be able to jump in without too much trouble.

I have a few ideas for things that might be helpful but I'd like to know what your priorities for the repo and what would be most useful to you.

Let me know! Thanks

Hi Arlen22.

I'm back again, still trying to have v2.1beta working. It seems it fails while trying to access a Tiddlywiki folder.

Tested with Win 10 64 bit + Chrome 73 + Node.js 10.15.3.

Thanks in advance for your help and for your patience.

I have "TiddlyServer" and "TiddlyWikis" in the same path and here is my settings.json:

{
"tree": {
"alias": "../TiddlyWikis",
},

After running node server I got:

But if I let "tree" be an empty object, the it runs but without the list.

Can I pass in lazy-loading settings, either on the command line or in the settings.json file?

Thanks!

TiddlyServer/lib/iron/ does not appear to be used anywhere in the project.

If it's safe to remove we should get rid of it. I can make a PR if that's easier for you.

I've just updated from TiddlyServer 2.0.8 to 2.0.11 and I've started getting very frequent 412 errors with an accompanying message on the console about "difference in modified".

I've tried this both with a file under Dropbox and one on the local filesystem and I get the same results. I can't be totally sure, but it seems like what's happening is that the first time I save a given wiki, it works ok, but subsequent attempts to save always result in the mtime conflict. It's as if the browser version isn't updating the etag after the first save goes through, so the FS version is then newer?

This is making the current version nearly unusable for me :-(

I'm on FF58.0.2 on Arch Linux if that makes a difference. Node 8.7.0.

Hi Arlen,

it seems that I'm not able to save tiddlers or at least I don't understand if they are written somewhere (and where?)

NSlab is a brand new wiki (I started my test with an empty tiddlers folder). No plugins are loaded in tiddlywiki.info, but the Tiddlyweb plugin.

Apparently there is nothing wrong while playing with my wiki. The server starts without errors, I can navigate to my wiki (http://localhost:27768/NSlab/) and if I make changes the "save" icon above the search box blinks as usual (grey-red-grey).

On the other hand, if I look at the tiddlers folder it is empty (no trace of the tiddlers that I created, nor the $:/StoryList).

If I refresh the page I can see my tiddlers in the Recent tab, but the tiddlers folder is still empty.
If I restart the server then also the Recent tab becames empty.

Here are some extracts from server stdout/stderr.

I installed the newest TS. I upgraded the settings.json file. I upgraded to node.js vsn 10.15.3.

I get the error below. I think it's looking for the wrong settings.schema.json file. After renaming settings-2-1.schema to settings.schema.json I re-ran and the server worked. It might be good to either mention this in the documentation, or perhaps the settings upgrader needs to be tweaked?

The example "branch" which I retained from the original example JSON settings file appears without an icon on the tree home page.

It looks to me like you can now serve files from below the data-folder start directory. I don't believe that was possible before -- great!

For the projects 'subfolder', of type category, the generated HTML is:

<tr class="row even category">

category.png is NOT included in the git repo that I get on fetch; so my top level TiddlyServer page ends up with a broken image icon that looks like:

and the log ends up with a 404:
1940:[2017-07-05T22:18:49.717-0400] GET 404 127.0.0.1 /icons/category.png

I suspect that icon should be referencing folder.png, not category.png, and that the problem is in https://github.com/Arlen22/TiddlyServer/blob/master/generateDirectoryListing.js#L13-L16

As a separate, too minor to open, issue, you might consider adding a version string or some other identifying information (tag, git hash) in the TiddlyServer generated page so it is apparent what version people have.

I just found the problem in one of the closed issues: Seems like my NodeJS version is way to old as TiddlyServer requires at least version 6.

Hi Arlen,

TiddlyServer is great and makes working with Tiddlywikis so much easier but I faced a problem installing the Server on my Synology NAS running a custom Linux and only support a pretty old Node.JS version (so I understand if this is completly out of scope). Would be great if you could have a look anyway.

When trying to run TiddlyServer on my NAS the following happens:

I am working on making a wiki that can be used to configure tiddlyserver. My hope is that using the default configuration settings from #15, when you start tiddlyserver and open up 127.0.0.1:8080 it will open into a wiki that will guide you through setting up tiddlyserver.

I have almost all of the pieces of this from other projects so it is just a matter of putting the pieces together in a nice way.

My work on this is on my fork here: https://github.com/OokTech/TiddlyServer

Hello,

When I download the latest release 2.0.9 and try to run it it says safe-buffer isn't installed.

I've tried running npm install safe-buffer but it didn't work.

However, if I go back 2.0.8 it works fine.

Hi,

Maybe this is not a bug, as I have tampered with TiddlyServer to run TiddlyWiki version 5.1.15, and the latest TS version still uses 5.1.14. But just in case TS can be improved to be TW5 version agnostic.
I am using TS Source Code. I downloaded the ZIP, unpacked it in my Windows PC, changed the package.json to make it dependent on TW version 5.1.15 rather than 5.1.14, and run npm install. Then I moved the tiddlywiki directory in node_modules up in parallel to node_modules as described in the instructions in Installation -> Source Code Version
I reused settings.json that I was already using with TS 2.0.6, and launched TS. TS is serving local files and a couple of TW folders. Everything worked fine, and I could check that TiddlyWiki had some of the new 5.1.15 features (e.g. new "Explorer" tab to "More" sidebar), but the TW version in the settings read 5.1.14.
What is the reason for this inconsistency?
It is not a big deal, but I do not understand why TS used in Source Code has to be linked to a particular TW version.
Thank you.

Hi Arlen, Thanks again for the great TiddlyServer.

I have added an additional IP Address to my computer and hosted TiddlyServer on that address, as specified in my full settings.json below. This works well since now I can access tiddlyServer at http://192.168.1.81 (throughout my LAN) without any port number as http defaults to 80. I can also move the IP address to another computer and all my link addresses will not change and I can use dns to map ts.local to this address. All Good, with a minor bug?

The intention however was to free the Computers "primary IP Address" so TiddlyServer was not taking 127.0.0.1:80 however it continues to do so.

Is this a bug or is there a way to configure around this, so TiddlyServer only appears on http://192.168.1.81? and not on local host

Thanks in advance

Hi, thanks for all your work on this - it's a great tool! I was wondering, is it possible to suppress all the HTTP logging that TiddlyServer spits out? I'm running it as a systemd user service now and I'd rather that the logs didn't get filled with protocol debugging. I've tried setting debugLevel to a higher number but it doesn't seem to make any difference...

Cheers,

I don't seem to be able to link to files in tiddlers that I attached through tiddlywiki.

I attach a file to my wiki by dragging it into the browser window. It then creates a new tiddler and the file appears in my tiddler folder. When I create a new tiddler and link to the file [ext[mytiddlywiki/tiddlers/testfile.zip]] the browser can't find the file and I get an error.

My directory is ../ and my tiddlywiki is located in TiddlyServer-master/mytiddlywiki. Relative linking to files located in TiddlyServer-master works without problems, but files located in TiddlyServer-master/mytiddlywiki/tiddlers does not work.

I work with relatively large files that are unsuitable for viewing in tiddlywiki. Ideally I would want to be able to drag them into tiddlywiki and easily link to them. If I understand it correctly that should be possible with tiddlyserver. Am I correct and is the described issue something I can solve?

PS I am hosting Tiddlyserver on my vps, hence the need to do everything through the browser.

Hello Arlen !
Thanks for your work, I love TiddlyServer so much!
I have some small question need your help, TiddlyServer seem not to support chinese :( . when My local path contains chinese, It display garbled.
My test system is windows 7 ,TiddlyServer and Tiddlywiki is the latest version.

Looking forward to your reply

Dear Arlen22,

I'm interested in running TW5.1.19 on TiddlyServer, so I downloaded v2.1.0-beta.
I ran this command to convert old settings file:

node upgrade-setting settings_2-0-14.json settings_2-1-0.json

and it returned the following error:

The conversion failed because:

Trying to get the basic tiddlyServer to run by following the referenced tutorial

I have been able to run up the TiddlyServer and can navigate through the tree.

I created a blank tiddlywiki directory with

tiddlywiki --init test

When I navigate to that directory using TiddlyServer I get this message

The Tiddlywiki data folder failed to load. The error has been logged to the terminal. To try again, use ?reload=true after making any necessary corrections.

I get this logged to the console;

DAT 2017-11-28 17:41:15 error starting /learning/tiddlyServer/data at d:\learning\tiddlyServer\data: Error: Cannot find module '$:/core/modules/commands/server.js'

I used some things from another project to modify tiddlyserver so that you have two configuration files instead of the single settings.json file currently used. The idea is that you have a default configuration file (called Config.json) that works and then a local settings file (Local.json) that can modify the default version.

So for tiddlyserver the default file would have default values for every property, but if someone wants to change the address on their version they edit Local.json to just add the address property, than this overrides the default value in Config.json without them having to edit any of the default values.

This way a person only has to set the options that they want to change from the default and TiddlyServer can have a default configuration that works without any configuration needed.

I am also working on creating a wiki that can be the default location for navigation and that will let you change the settings without having to directly edit a json file. I will make another issue for that.

when I run 'node server' from my TiddlyServer directory I get the following error:

/home/pi/code/TiddlyServer/server.js:151
        return server_types_1.obs_stat(state)(favicon).mergeMap(([err, stat]) => {

I opened a single file TW with the name "Thameem.html". When I try to save it, it says "Server error". Data folder TW works fine. Please look into it.

Otherwise, damn fine work.

Hi @Arlen22,

I wrote a plugin for TiddlyWiki Classic.
TiddlyServer is now available for both TWC and TW5.

Thanks.

Hello

Why files are duplicated when I update data in my tiddlywiki ?

$_StoryList.tid
$_StoryList 1.tid

This is the case for system tiddlers and mine.
This my first in GitHub so sorry if this space isn't made for it.

Best regards

On remote devices (e.g. one's using the local network) PDF's don't seem to serve. Tested on Linux and Windows (7). They do serve on the local server itself, just not on the network.

Hi Arlen,
sorry to bother you again, but now i'm completely confused.
Can you help me understanding if i'm doing something wrong?

1. commits in github say that the package was updated for 5.1.15, but all plugins.info into tiddlywiki\plugins\tiddlywiki are still marked 5.1.14

2. if i open a datafolder and download in local the browser content, indeed i see in the file that the <div> are all marked version="5.1.14"

3. if i throw away the bundled tiddlywiki and substitute it with the content of TiddlyWiki5-5.1.15, now i obtain a file with <div> marked as version="5.1.15"

4. the tiddlywiki\core content is completely different from TiddlyWiki5-5.1.15 content. Did you pack all the original content into that single pluging.info?

5. in the github readme you say "Loads data folders using a certain core/boot version (currently whatever gets installed with npm install or the bundled version if you use that)" but as far as i understand this does not correspond to real behavior.

6. actually as far as i could understand node.js is not booting the original tiddlywiki\boot\boot.js but a heavily modified version of it in src\boot.js. Why and what are the differences in behavior?

7. i also installed TiddlyWiki5-5.1.15 with npm but i didn't find any way to have TiddlyServer using it. If there is a bundled version it uses it, if i remove the bundle the server crashes.

Thanks, Gabriele

Windows 7.
I copied over my old working settings file as settings-old, and upgraded it. Running the server immediately generated a plethora of errors (below).

Thanks!
Mark

I am not sure if it is just me but I can not get the static file serve working. When I create a new wiki via node tiddlywiki wiki --init server TiddlyServer shows and handles everything just fine. However when I import my single file wiki (FF 57, you know) all links to my external images are broken.

My single file structure:

- wiki/
    - 20xx/
    - 2016/
    - 2017/
        - img1.jpg
        - img2.jpg
    - index.html

Inside the wiki links look like this [img[2017/img1.jpg]]. When I open a tiddler with images the server requests /wiki/2017/img1.jpg which looks right to me. But somehow this results in a 404 and I have no idea where to put my images.

What I tried (none did work):

- wiki/
    - 20xx/
    - 2016/
    - 2017/
        - img1.jpg
        - img2.jpg
    - tiddlers/

- wiki/
    - tiddlers/
        - 20xx/
        - 2016/
        - 2017/
            - img1.jpg
            - img2.jpg

- wiki/
    - tiddlers/
- 20xx/
- 2016/
- 2017/
    - img1.jpg
    - img2.jpg

I think I am missing a crucial thing here but I don't know where. The only thing that seems to work is importing a image via drag&drop and linking to the new tiddler (which creates the "image" tiddler and a .meta tiddler alongside. However I want my images in one place (sorted by year) and tiddlers in another. Maybe the documentation could clear this up as how to migrate to data folders with external images.

Thank you for your help and this great peace of work :)

Hi,
I have a website that is developed out using node.js. I would like to add the wiki in a subdirectory, say http://myweb.com/blog, as a read-only sub to the main site.

I am currently editing the TW via the node.js tiddlywiki module run locally. I just want to be able to copy the directory over to the public server and have it available online.

As the public site is already running node is there anyway I can simply detect the "/blog" route using express and send the request to a TW node module to handle the display? I would like it to be under the same domain for simplicity and SEO purposes.

If it can't run on a sub-path I wonder if it could be implemented as a sub-process or a fork sharing the port with the master.

By default TiddlyServer is going to effectively broadcast / make accessible all the TW contents it supports on the local area network. You might want to document the "host" (and "port") settings.json possibilities and warn users. Better yet, I suggest including "host": "127.0.0.1" - the reserved loopback address - in the example settings.json file would be a better default, non-routable option in my opinion; see https://serverfault.com/a/839462 and that, if no value "host" key is present in settings.json default to "127.0.0.1"

One could see using the ifaces = os.networkInterfaces that TiddlyServer discovers as a feature, however. On my home network, for example, the current default handling makes TiddlyServer-served contents accessible to / editable from my other devices, like my phone or tablet as well as the laptop where it is installed. So I would not eliminate this option, just make sure users are aware they may be making their TW contents accessible by anyone on the same network: wives, children, neighbors if they have not locked down their firewall, or potentially fellow coffee shop patrons. Perhaps TiddlyServer could discover the network interfaces - for those that would like that and have been suitably warned about the implications - by checking for a "host": "discover" key/value pair in settings.json. Then TiddlyServer could default to being secure or open as a user choice.

I can attempt a PR if you'd like, though my JavaScript is not strong.

Hi Arlen,

I was wondering if you could consider my request here, which would open up additional uses for TiddlyWiki as easy to share smart documents. I would love to have TiddlyServer supporting this as well, and I believe it should be a trivial change. The Standard save supports saving as .tw files, as is Timimi.

Could you please review Alternative File Extension for TiddlyWiki Files #3719 with a view to allowing TiddlyServer to serve single File wikis with the .tw extension just as it does .htm and .html files?

In tiddlyserver I can't open it because we get the following dialogue

which then seems to open a tempfile eg file:///C:/Users/USERNAME/AppData/Local/Temp/empty-2.tw rather than the actual file in place as for regular TiddlyWikis.

I can browse to such files as below but not open as a wiki .tw or .hta files

    "types":{
        "htmlfile": ["htm", "html", "hta", "png", "tw"]

The announcement on tiddlywiki google groups didn't tell me concisely what this is
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/HF1XMIdQyss/u8vBbrbLDAAJ
Following the link to this GitHub repo, the Readme gives Installation, Benefits and Features
but doesn't say what it is!!!
Please put a paragraph of description:
what does it do
how does it differ from node.js tiddlywiki
etc

First off thanks for your efforts to make this available. Secondly this may not fall into a bug issue because I can get the node.js server to work if I connect directly, but as it turns out when reaching it through my reverse Nginx proxy I get the error above when trying to save a change. I might add my brain is sort of mush after staying up most the night solving my USB encryption issue on my Rock64 single board computer running the whole enchilada. Google indicates a file size issue, but I don't know.

Edit: This is for 2.1.1-beta

Making a change to a tiddler on a single file doesn't change the "saved" checkmark, though it appears that it is saving. But making a second change, I get

Error while saving:
XMLHttpRequest error code: 0

and
XMLHttpRequest error code: 412

Errors.

Currently if you are serving up a data tiddler you can click the "save" button and get a local, stand-alone TW. But this feature doesn't seem to work when serving up a stand-alone file. This would be useful, for instance, if you were on a mobile device and wanted a quick copy before leaving your local network. This would be useful even though the "downloaded" file is not in the exact home directory that you would usually use.

Thanks!

Ciao Arlen

I'm unclear about WHICH binary you mean in this from the documentation ...

Download the latest release of TiddlyServer from https://github.com/Arlen22/TiddlyServer/releases unzip the folder contained in the zip file to wherever you want it. Put the binary in this folder if you want it to be portable.

browser is mispelled as browswer (unless it is intentional that way) in the info message that shows up when node server.js is executed.

$ node server.js
Settings file: ...
Open your browswer and type in one of the following:
127.0.0.1:8080

It is certainly a very minor issue, but just wanted to point out since this shows up every time that command is executed.

Thank you for this amazing piece of software!

Tiddlywikii --server command allows passing the default username for signing edits without password, but if a specify user into settings.json I always get basic auth prompt even if password is left empty or is removed from settings.

TiddlyServer should allow to replicate the same behavior as Tiddlywiki --server, enforcing password check only if it is not empty.

Hey there,

Thanks for making this great tool.

I tried to run with a bind on 0.0.0.0 inside of a docker container but I kept getting the following error regardless of what port I put: EADDRINUSE 0.0.0.0.

I'm not sure if I'm doing something silly but what I've had to do to work around this is comment out line 151 in server.js as it seems that you do a double bind there if the settings.host is not 127.0.0.1, I guess you meant to do the opposite?

Thanks!
