Normally with the Data Console Application you have to be directly on the server that the app is running.

Thats the only way you can access the console.

But we know thats not always convenient so we have bundled in a webserver into the console app. Using this you can access the console from the web (reverse proxy into the app).

To start the webserver the command is

>webserver start

Starting the console
Starting the console

and the webserver will listen on

http://localhost:54571


It will also send you a token via email to access that instance.
