TiddlyWiki is a powerful, open-source note-taking application that lets you create and organize your notes in a flexible and customizable way. In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps to install TiddlyWiki on FreeBSD Latest.
The first step is to install Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) on your FreeBSD system. Node.js is a JavaScript runtime that TiddlyWiki is built on, and npm is used to manage its dependencies.
You can install Node.js and npm using the following command in the terminal:
$ sudo pkg install node npm
This will install the latest stable version of Node.js and npm.
Next, you need to download the latest version of TiddlyWiki from its official website. You can do this by running the following command in the terminal:
$ curl -O https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/tiddlywiki_5.1.23-beta.zip
This will download the zip file containing the latest version of TiddlyWiki to your current working directory.
Once you have downloaded TiddlyWiki, you need to extract its contents to a directory of your choice. You can do this by running the following command in the terminal:
$ unzip tiddlywiki_5.1.23-beta.zip -d tiddlywiki
This will extract the contents of the zip file to a new directory named tiddlywiki.
You can now start TiddlyWiki by running the following command in the terminal:
$ cd tiddlywiki
$ node tiddlywiki.js
This will start TiddlyWiki on port 8080. You can access it by navigating to http://localhost:8080 in your web browser.
If you want to access TiddlyWiki from a remote machine, you need to change the IP address in the tiddlywiki.info configuration file. You can do this by running the following command in the terminal:
$ nano tiddlywiki.info
Change the value of server.host to the IP address of your FreeBSD machine. Save and exit the file.
You can now start TiddlyWiki by running the following command in the terminal:
$ node tiddlywiki.js --listen
This will start TiddlyWiki on port 8080 and listen for remote connections. You can access it from a remote machine by navigating to http://[your FreeBSD machine's IP address]:8080 in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed TiddlyWiki on FreeBSD Latest.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
