Cloud Cache GFSH app

Logging into Cloud Cache requires a number of steps to login to the gfsh console. This app is designed to eliminate those steps altogether. Once installed all you need to do is open the application URL in your browser and you will be logged into your Cloud Cache instance.

If you need the gfsh command referance it is here: http://gemfire.docs.pivotal.io/98/gemfire/tools_modules/gfsh/chapter_overview.html

On first invocation the app will download and install java and gfsh. You can watch the script doing its job. Subsequent invocations will just reuse those bits.

If the computer you are using isn't in the allowed addresses list you will get a black screen with no text.

There seems to be something up with Node 12 and one of the dependant libraries. So you should use Node version 11 or older.

Example commands to switch node version.

nvm install 10.16.0
rm -rf node_modules
npm install
