Make it easy for someone to create their own Tiddlyhost instance

[simonbaird]

Currently there's a few things that are specific to tiddlyhost.com

Considerations:

• Deployments
• Secrets
• Hostnames
• Certificates & Let's Encrypt
• DNS
• Configuration, settings etc
• Documentation, i.e. how to do it

There's two ideas:

• Someone checks out the code and builds their own container image, and uses that for their own Tiddhost instance.
• Someone uses the pre-built container image with all of the instance specific configuration applied at run time to make it work.

The second idea is cooler.

(Will probably not get to this for a while.)

Probably should split the code into two repos:

• "tiddlyhost-core" which has nothing to do with tiddlyhost.com.
• "tiddlyhost" (.com) which is a specific to tiddlyhost.com.

Ideally there wouldn't be any code in the latter, but it could be a more sensible home for the current FAQ, and other tiddlyspot.com specific information.

Then, if you want to create your own hosting service you would start with tiddlyhost-core.

A first step towards splitting into two repos: https://github.com/simonbaird/tiddlyhost-app

I went with -app instead of -core.

You mention using docker in the readme, can I just use it to create a docker and run it on my NAS? (It is better if you have prebuild image in the docker hub!)

https://github.com/simonbaird/tiddlyhost-app is dead, but I'm thinking about this again.

One idea: Create a dockerized single user version of Tiddlyhost, stripped of all the tiddlyhost.com specific clutter, that you can run on your own computer as an new answer to the "how can I save" question. It could be a simple rails app that you can start up with a docker run command.
