Run TiddlyWiki NodeJS on FlyIO

Hey all,

I’ve put together a GitHub Template & a guide for running TiddlyWiki on NodeJS on FlyIO -

Why FlyIO? It scales to zero, so you only have to pay for the compute you use. I’ve been using this setup for many months now, and I still haven’t used up my 5 dollar free tier.

Caveats -

  • The guide requires executing some commands on the command line
  • I don’t believe that authentication is particularly secure. I use a 60 character password (which I store in a password manager), however, I’m still not that comfortable with this being exposed to the public internet. It would be better to rely on an authentication service (like AWS Cognito) instead, though I haven’t integrated this yet.

Let me know if you have any feedback!

It might be interesting to authenticate this setup via Tailscale -

If anyone’s interested in I made another template which allows one to connect to TiddlyWiki on FlyIO via Tailscale -

However, that connection is not seamless (see that repo’s issues for more info)
