My previous guide for TiddlyWiki involved the use of Task Scheduler. Today I’m offering a recommended and excellent alternative for installing the latest TiddlyWiki version via Portainer. TiddlyWiki is a personal wiki and a non-linear notebook for organizing 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. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install TiddlyWiki on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest version of TiddlyWiki v.5.3.5
