This TiddlyWiki plugin aims to help users, editors and developers to manage their wikis over IPFS.

This plugin provides the following features:

  • Store TiddlyWiki's and attachments on IPFS
  • Access TiddlyWiki's and attachments from IPFS
  • Encrypt and Unencrypt TiddlyWiki's and attachments
  • Publish and Manage IPNS Keys and Names
  • Interact with Metamask Ethereum wallets
  • Publish to ENS
  • Share over IPFS TiddlyWiki's Tiddlers and attachments

According to Wikipedia:

TiddlyWiki is a personal wiki and a non-linear notebook for organising and sharing complex information. It is an open-source single page application wiki in the form of a single HTML file that includes CSS, JavaScript, and the content. It is designed to be easy to customize and re-shape depending on application. It facilitates re-use of content by dividing it into small pieces called Tiddlers.

IPFS with TiddlyWiki enhances TiddlyWiki as a decentralized application (Đapps) who uses distributed computing systems:

IPFS with TiddlyWiki has the following ĐApp characteristics:

  • Open Source
  • Decentralized
  • Unstoppable
  • Transparency

Run a local IPFS node with IPFS Desktop

According to the ipfs-desktop README.md, IPFS Desktop allows you to run your IPFS Node on your machine without having to bother with command line tools.

Use a browser extension with IPFS Companion

According to the ipfs-companion README.md, This add-on enables everyone to access IPFS resources the way they were meant: from locally running IPFS node :-).

Warning

The IPFS Companion support is Temporarily Disabled and will be back in Q3 2020.

Setup a nodejs environment to build tiddlywiki instances bundled with IPFS with TiddlyWiki.

Node.js

jsDelivr, A free CDN for Open Source: https://www.jsdelivr.com/

Node Documentation: https://nodejs.org/en/docs/

Npm Repository: https://www.npmjs.com/

SriHash: https://www.srihash.org/

Install

On Debian Buster we don't use the default Debian repositories or the Nodesource repositories. We use nvm.

Setup

Follow the nvm installation and update tutorial:

Current installation and update script:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.35.3/install.sh | bash

As we are using zsh, here is an excerpt of our .zshrc

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"  # This loads nvm bash_completion

# place this after nvm initialization!
autoload -U add-zsh-hook
load-nvmrc() {
  local node_version="$(nvm version)"
  local nvmrc_path="$(nvm_find_nvmrc)"

  if [ -n "$nvmrc_path" ]; then
    local nvmrc_node_version=$(nvm version "$(cat "${nvmrc_path}")")

    if [ "$nvmrc_node_version" = "N/A" ]; then
      nvm install
    elif [ "$nvmrc_node_version" != "$node_version" ]; then
      nvm use
    fi
  elif [ "$node_version" != "$(nvm version default)" ]; then
    echo "Reverting to nvm default version"
    nvm use default
  fi
}
add-zsh-hook chpwd load-nvmrc
load-nvmrc

This repository contains a .nvmrc who describes the node version to use.

v12.18.0

Install the recommended version.

nvm install v12.18.0

Check:

node -v
v12.18.0

We update npm to use the latest:

npm install -g npm@latest
npm -v
6.14.5

At this stage your environment should look like this:

npm -g ls --depth=0
/home/user/.nvm/versions/node/v12.18.0/lib
└── [email protected]

Repository install

Clone this repository in a local folder:

git clone https://github.com/xmaysonnave/tiddlywiki-ipfs --depth 1

Change directory:
