You could put the wiki on tiddlyhost and access in the browser. You need access to tiddlyhost of course.
I have many local files (images and pdf), so the wiki can’t be uploaded to tiddlyhost. I want to keep it as local file
Microsoft Edge on iOS supports viewing html file via sharing in the Files app.
For a-Shell, it’s worth mentioning that installing wsgidav through pip on it makes it possible to start a WebDAV server to edit and save tiddlywiki.

@XLBilly I tried pasting this code from GitHub - mar10/wsgidav: A generic and extendable WebDAV server based on WSGI in a-shell
But I got this message $: command not found
The “$” character is the prompt, it’s not part of the commands. Try without the “$”, it should work.

That did the trick and i got upto this Serving on http://0.0.0.0:80 ...
Now when I opened that link in a browser, it was opening a blank page. How to open the folder with wiki using this ?
I would instinctively try to change port to 8000 or 8080 and retry. I don’t know about “modern” times, but back in the days binding to a port lower than 1024 required root. Second example in the README doesn’t use port 80 either.
How to open the folder with wiki using this ?
Try starting the server in the directory where your wiki files are. Or set that directory explicitly via --root instead of /tmp
I don’t know to correctly to do this part…I went to my files app and in the folder I wanted, i selected connect to server option and entered the http://0.0.0.0:8000
But it’s not connecting. Error message showed socket not found
Serving on http://0.0.0.0:80 means the server listens to clients on any (0.0.0.0) interface.
To connect to the server from the same machine you must use this URL: http://127.0.0.1:80 or http://127.0.0.1:8000 depending on the port displayed on the message.

On using http://127.0.0.1:8000 it shows The operation can't be completed because this URL is not supported
Maybe you can try to append a / to the url, and/or use https instead of http. Just guessing, I don’t know this software nor do I own an iPad.

Some of the arguments should be adjusted. Create a folder named “tiddlywiki” in the “a-Shell” folder in the Files app and add tiddlywiki files in it. Then type this command:
wsgidav --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8080 --root=tiddlywiki --auth=anonymous
Then visit http://127.0.0.1:8080 , you should see this page:
This is weird. Try executing ls and cd tiddlywiki/ and see if there is any error.

Looks like there doesn’t exist anything in a-Shell’s home directory. Try executing mkdir tiddlywiki, the folder “tiddlywiki” should appear in the a-Shell folder in the Files app, then move the tiddlywiki html file into it.

This is the app I’ve been looking for. clicking save effectively downloads it. As well as being able to open files in the file app. Both of these are features I’ve been looking for. The first one I was using the icab mobile app for. The second feature has been unsolved until I read this statement.
@XLBilly Any way to use shared folders in the Files app or maybe a OneDrive folder for this webdav server instead of the files in the a-Shell folder?
For syncing across devices, you have better use online services. At present Koofr and pCloud’s webdav supports saving tiddlywiki . See Saving via WebDAV
