docker-parse-server-git-deploy

Quickly and easily install a Parse server and deploy code using git push.

You should not have to write any code to have a production server, like you would with a parse.com service.

Pull-Request are welcomed.

Quick start

• Create a db on https://mongolab.com/

• Copy example/data to the machine you will use to deploy this container:

cp -r example/data /srv/parse-data

• Replace the ssh public key in /srv/parse-data/keys by your own.

• Execute the following command:

docker run -d \
       -v /srv/parse-data:/srv \
       -e DATABASE_URI=mongodb://<user>:<password>@ds055885.mongolab.com:55885/codetown \
       -e APP_ID=<appId> \
       -e MASTER_KEY=<masterKey> \
       -p 1337:1337 \
       -p 2222:22 \
       --name parse arnaudvalensi/docker-parse-server-git-deploy:latest

Replace <user> and <password> by yours. Replace <appId> and <masterKey> too.

• The container now provides a git repository, clone it:

git clone ssh://root@<yourhost>:2222/srv/repo.git ~/parse-cloud

Replace <yourhost> by your own host.

• Add the code in example/parse-cloud into your repo and push:

cp -r example/parse-cloud/* ~/parse-cloud
cd ~/parse-cloud
git add *
git commit -m "add base files"
git push

Your Parse server is now in production. Every time you want to modify the cloud, you just need to push to restart the server with the new files.

The file cloud/server.js allows you to configure the express server before it is started. You can modify it to configure new routes or any express behavior.

Verification

curl -v http://<yourhost>:1337

curl -X POST \
  -H "X-Parse-Application-Id: <YOUR_APP_ID>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"score":1337,"playerName":"Sean Plott","cheatMode":false}' \
  http://<yourhost>:1337/parse/classes/GameScore

curl -X GET \
  -H "X-Parse-Application-Id: <YOUR_APP_ID>" \
  -H "X-Parse-Master-Key: <YOUR_APP_MASTER_KEY>" \
  http://<yourhost>:1337/parse/classes/GameScore

You can use https://robomongo.org/ to see your db.

Deploy with your own mongodb container

docker run -d -p 27017:27017 --name mongo mongo

docker run -d \
       -v /srv/parse-data:/srv \
       -e APP_ID=<appId> \
       -e MASTER_KEY=<masterKey> \
       -p 1337:1337 \
       -p 2222:22 \
       --link mongo \
       --name parse arnaudvalensi/docker-parse-server-git-deploy:latest

• api: localhost:1337
• ssh: localhost: 2222
• mongodb: localhost:27017

More configuration with docker

• Specify application ID: -e APP_ID
• Specify master key: -e MASTER_KEY=
• Specify database uri: -e DATABASE_URI=mongodb://mongodb.intra:27017/dev
• Specify parse-server port on host: -p 1338:1337
• Specify database port on host: -p 27018:27017
• Specify parse cloud code volume container: --volumes-from parse-cloud-code
