Tiddlywiki
05 Dec 2020 | tiddlywikiTiddlywiki is an amazing piece of software. It promises being future proof as a feature:
If you’re starting to use TiddlyWiki at the beginning of your career you can be confident that it will carry you through to retirement.
It is a single HTML file with no additional dependencies after all! But don’t let that simplicity fool you - it is packed with features from audio support to encryption. And then there are tons of plugins contributed by the community. When compared to the many paid solutions for knowledge organization, it is quite powerful but costs nothing! Getting started with Tiddlywiki could be quite changing. But this YouTube video tutorial is very helpful.
You can also use the Tiddlywiki for collaborative editing using the awesome TiddlyServer project. There are docker wrappers available such as this one. To start a Tiddlywiki server follow the steps below on your local machine or a server instance.
docker pull mazzolino/tiddlywiki
mkdir your-wiki-name
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -v $(pwd)/<your-wiki-name>:/var/lib/tiddlywiki mazzolino/tiddlywiki
The folder your-wiki-name
will contain the contents of your Tiddlywiki. Navigate to http://<server-name>:8080
to get started on setting up the wiki.
