Saving to a Tiddlyhost site with a command line script

About

It's possible to save to a Tiddlyhost site from a script using curl commands. thost-uploader is a bash script that shows how to do it.

Quickstart guide

# Download the script and make it executable
curl -sO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simonbaird/tiddlyhost/main/examples/thost-uploader
chmod 755 ./thost-uploader

# Assuming you want to upload mytiddlywikifile.html to mysite
./thost-uploader mysite mytiddlywikifile.html youremail@example.com yourpassword

# Or...
./thost-uploader mysite mytiddlywikifile.html youremail@example.com $(cat filewithpassword)

Notes

• It's generally not a good idea to type your password directly on the command line. See the comments in the script for a suggestion on how avoid doing that.
• This should work on Mac or Linux. It might work on Windows if you're able to run bash and curl.
• It should be possible to adapt this technique for use with other scripting languages or anything that can make the required http requests.
• See also the thost-downloader script which can be used to to script downloads of a private site.
