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.

Opening a browser (from on the same server/machine) and putting in http://localhost:54571 will show you the console. (we are building a visual app also) and allow you enter commands like you do on the normal console (there are a few differences).

You can see in the image that what we type in the web console is passed into the actual console and the results returned.
