Can TW5-BOB be used straight from hosted on GitHub, with autosaving, from all devices?

I have set up TW-BOB5 on Windows desktop and it works well, but how can I access it also from mobile (Android), the same instance, via the cloud (so that I don't need to keep my desktop with me or turned on)?

Bob can't run off of Github, it needs a server that can run node. I think that the simplest way to have Bob accessible from the internet is to have it installed on something like a digital ocean droplet with Nginx handling the authentication. I am working on making it easy to set up but I have been busy with other projects for a while.

Something maybe I don't fully understand in how it works.
The reason I thought it should work from GitHub because NodeJS doesn't
necessarily need to be installed, it's sufficient to have it unpacked it in
a folder to get TiddlyWiki run off of it, as portable.
That's why I thought that it should run from GitHub as portable, just like
it can run from a folder that is in Windows or Linux desktop, without
installing NodeJS on the OS.
Could you elaborate why it wouldn't work the same portable way as from a
folder in a desktop OS?
Thanks,
have a good night.

NodeJS has to be running, github doesn't run any of the code, it just stores it. NodeJS can be portable, but it still need to be running on something.
