mss command to start the default mscolab server

Issue #454 resolved
Reimar Bauer created an issue

Can we add a call to mss command to start the local default mscolab server too?

This should only be possible if there is no change done on the default setup of mscolab.

I am looking by this for a way that a common user can use the new features and is able to learn that he need to config more to use it together with others. Hint to a server config needed too.

May be we need also an option in the gui to start the server.

    I was thinking mscolab server can be started exactly like mswms. And starting from msui can be done, but since both modules are independent, would it be wise? I need a second opinion on this, but technically it can be done.
    For today, I’m working on the command line shortcut to activate mscolab, and make a PR let’s see if you like it.

    Since we refactored config, there’s no need of further refactoring in order to introduce the command. 🙂 Is there a way to test this though?

    I am also thinking on that I don’t want to couple it, but we have to find a way that someone who is only using a desktop app can get used it.

    This may become more steps. First release as it is, implement some servers, provide urls, but this will always be remote.

    At release time there will be less users knowing how to handle the new possibility, so when we have it builtin running anyone can try out this for himself, but it can not be used in full multiuser mode. But may be we have than only to communicate to change a config and to disable the builtin server.

    or we add another gui for just starting servers or we let it on commandline.
