Anyone figure out how to get tw5 working in fly.io with persistent volumes?
https://fly.io (I believe it’s backed by heroku) is a function-as-a-service provider and they’ve recently come out with ability to add persistent storage to your function. Better, 3GB included in the free plan.
Seems like a natural for tw5. “Ghost” blog platform figure out how to do this… Host a Ghost blog on Fly.io for free

fly.io says:
Run your full stack apps (and databases!) all over the world. No ops required.
So they seem to serve “full stack apps” … It seems to be an interesting service. The blog posts are interesting and full of “techspeak”. They give a good overview about their implementation details.
It seems to use docker images and “covers” them in a light weight virtual machine to start them fast. …

Seems to be a fit for TW. … BUT as so often, it depends on what you want to do?
I can see at least 4 different ways to use it.
Do you want to create “static” pages with TiddlyWiki and “just” serve them with a simple “file server”?
This would be an interesting experiment. Didn’t think about that yet 
Do you want to use the platform as a server and save back?
WebDav may be an option. Using single file wikis
TWs own server would be an option too. …
But I didn’t test it with 256MB of ram, which may be a bit low for nodejs.
256MB seems to be the “base” free tier server
So … It depend

It seems a static web server is built in: Create a static website on Fly … So no need for an experiment.
