Feature Request: "Make a package for Synology DiskStation"
I know, that it is somehow possible to get TiddlyWiki on any server especially since Node.js support, but doing this on a DiskStation that hides the real OS is sort of complicated and chances of success are poor for the typical users of DiskStation.
I'd like to suggest to prepare a program package for DiskStaion like the ones from WikiMedia and DokuWiki that can be installed directly on the DS user interface without having to use a ssh terminal and vi to configure the system.

@mubed Not to rain on your contributions and feature requests, I am not certain on how realistic of goal this is for TW5 at this time. We are just a few months out of beta and right now the repository is focused on crafting TiddlyWiki5 to be full featured and stable. Consequently, that means the target has to be rather generic and cross platform. The target of your request is extremely niche and taking a quick glance at their SDK require access to their platform, or there-like, and a custom tool-chain that someone would need to learn.
I do not know how @Jermolene, the project owner, would handle this request. But I would not attach much hope on this feature in any foreseeable timeline.
However, welcome and please continue be involved!
@roma0104: I fully understand your points. The term "feature request" was here maybe not correct. Actually it was a suggestion or idea. I'll try to make TW work on my Diskstation somehow, but my idea was to give the popularity of TW a great boost by making it available to the customers of a special product. You don't need to consider this suggestion right now, but you can keep it in the backlog for later.
@mubed That sounds great Mehrdad. If you get a package created or a workaround documented we would definitely share your progress.
I'm confused, Why can you just save the HTML to the DiskStation NAS? Doesn't it act like a hard drive? If you needed anything more then that then better to get a server then a NAS. How is this different then saving the TW5 file to you local drive or to an FTP server or DropBox or via AirDrop?
Diskstation NAS products are actually servers. As you can see in the example they are able to serve complex pages like dokuwiki. He is talking about the node version if tiddlywiky, not just a plain html file.
@sukima:
Well, it's all about using TW on a web server using Node.js. The one-file-way is great, but not the ultimative solution for a large wiki with multi-user access.
And regarding DiskStation, no it's not just a network hard drive, but an easy to configure linux server. So I want to have an easy to install package of TW for it.
@mubed
Is there a couchdb package for Diskstation? If so the couch adaptor plugin will be even a better solution than the node JS version.
For what it's worth, I was able to use the webdav support from synology to host a file and it seems to work OK.
