[wildfly-dev] Simplify WildFly Glow installation

Hi, I’m working on using Glow to build a container image that would provision a WildFly server based on the deployments that are ADDed to the Containerfile. To do so, I need to install Glow from my Containerfile. The instructions are not complex[1] but we can improve the user experience by automating it. This would improve the usage of Glow by making it very easy to install. We could have the standard usage of curl-ing a shell script that would do the actual work. All we need is a good place to host that script. I was thinking of using wildfly.org<http://wildfly.org> to host this script. The installation process would simply be: ``` $ curl -s https://wildfly.org/sh/install-glow | sh ``` And WildFly Glow is installed from the local directory and ready to be used. By default, the latest version is installed. Otherwise, you can use the GLOW_VERSION env var to use another version. I did this on my fork of wildfly.org: ``` $ curl -s https://jmesnil.github.io/wildfly.org/sh/install-glow | sh 🔍 Fetching latest release from GitHub... ⬇️ Downloading: https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly-glow/releases/download/1.5.0.Final/wil... 📦 Extracting WildFly Glow... 🚀 Installing to /Users/jmesnil/tmp/wildfly-glow 💡 To install shell command completion, you can run: source <(./wildfly-glow/wildfly-glow completion) ✅ Installation of WildFly Glow 1.5.0.Final complete! ``` I’ve opened a PR for it at https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly.org/pull/838. Don’t hesitate to give your feedback and comments in the PR. Once we have done that for WildFly Glow, I’m planning to do something similar with Prospero.
