Okay, trying again after a good night's sleep solved most/all of the problems. I can access the TiddlyWiki through [home-network-IP]:8080 and I've setup port forwarding on my router to be able to reach it through [external-IP]:8080 as well (the Pi already has a fixed home-network-IP because I needed its connections to be able to survive rebooting from outside the home). It looks like the problem was mostly that I was pointing my browser at [home-network-IP]:8080/tdnotes instead.
Guess next step is to setup an autolaunch in the cron-tables so the TiddlyWiki instance also survives rebooting (instead of having to manually boot it every time). Any hint towards running multiple instances, in case I decide to dig in that direction? (The whole [IP]:8080/folder1 existing concurrently to [IP]:8080/folder2 thing.)
