TiddlyWiki is a self-contained browser-based wiki and note-taking application that can be easily installed on OpenBSD. This tutorial will guide you through the steps necessary to install TiddlyWiki on OpenBSD.
Before you begin, you must have the following:
Open a terminal window on your OpenBSD system.
Type the following command to install the Node.js runtime environment:
$ doas pkg_add node
This will install the necessary dependencies for TiddlyWiki.
Download the latest release of TiddlyWiki from the official website:
$ ftp https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/TiddlyWiki5-5.1.23.zip
This will download the TiddlyWiki package to your current directory.
Extract the downloaded file by running the following command:
$ unzip TiddlyWiki5-5.1.23.zip
This will create a directory called TiddlyWiki5-5.1.23 in your current directory.
Move the extracted TiddlyWiki directory to the /var/www/htdocs directory by running the following command:
$ doas mv TiddlyWiki5-5.1.23 /var/www/htdocs/tiddlywiki
This will move the TiddlyWiki files to the appropriate directory on your OpenBSD system.
Start the TiddlyWiki server by running the following command:
$ cd /var/www/htdocs/tiddlywiki/
$ node ./tiddlywiki.js
This will start the TiddlyWiki server.
Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/.
Your TiddlyWiki should be up and running. You can start creating new tiddlers and organizing them into various categories.
By following these steps, you should now have TiddlyWiki successfully installed on your OpenBSD system. You can now use TiddlyWiki to organize your notes, ideas, and projects.
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!
