semi-automate byod tiddler management

[cdent]

When doing Bring Your Own Domain two operations are necessary on the server:

• creating a server alias (server_name in nginx) for the new domain
• create a tiddler in the MAPSPACE bag with
  • title of the new domain
  • a field mapped_space with a value of the target space

This second step could easily be a simple twanager command or call to twanager tiddler which gets integrated into a shell script that does the first step.

This script should do the job: https://gist.github.com/pads/5548896

I've tested it locally and it produces new lines in the Nginx aliases file as follows:

server_name thisispads.me.uk;

If a www domain is specified:

server_name thisispads.me.uk www.thisispads.me.uk;

An example tiddler it produces:

{
"creator": null,
"fields": {
"mapped_space": "pads",
"_hash": "da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709"
},
"created": "20130510090635",
"recipe": null,
"modified": "20130510090747",
"uri": "http://tiddlyspace.org:8080/bags/MAPSPACE/tiddlers/thisispads.me.uk",
"bag": "MAPSPACE",
"text": "",
"title": "thisispads.me.uk",
"permissions": [
"read",
"write",
"create",
"delete"
],
"modifier": null,
"type": null,
"tags": [
],
"revision": 188
}

Hopefully this is what is required?

I've updated the above to reflect these comments: https://gist.github.com/pads/5548896#comment-828548

May as well drop the script in ~tidlyweb/bin and call it done?

This isn't something we particularly want in the distribution as it relies on a particular server setup.
