What is Parse?

Parse Server is an open source version of the Parse backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js.

Looking for Parse + Parse Dashboard?

We also provide a Docker Image for Parse Dashboard. Parse Dashboard is a standalone dashboard for managing your Parse apps. You can find it at:

Bitnami Parse Dashboard

TL;DR;

$ curl -LO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-parse/master/docker-compose.yml
$ docker-compose up

Prerequisites

To run this application you need Docker Engine 1.10.0. Docker Compose is recomended with a version 1.6.0 or later.

How to use this image

Run Parse with a Database Container

Running Parse with a database server is the recommended way. You can either use docker-compose or run the containers manually.

Run the application using Docker Compose

This is the recommended way to run Parse. You can use the following docker compose template:

version: '2'

services:
  mongodb:
    image: 'bitnami/mongodb:latest'
    volumes:
      - 'mongodb_data:/bitnami/mongodb'
  application:
    image: 'bitnami/parse:latest'
    environment:
      PARSE_SERVER_HOST: your_host
    ports:
      - '1337:1337'
    volumes:
      - 'parse_data:/bitnami/parse'
    depends_on:
      - mongodb
volumes:
  mongodb_data:
    driver: local
  parse_data:
    driver: local

Run the application manually

If you want to run the application manually instead of using docker-compose, these are the basic steps you need to run:

Create a new network for the application and the database:

$ docker network create parse_network

Start a MongoDB database in the network generated:

$ docker run -d --name mongodb --net=parse_network bitnami/mongodb

Note: You need to give the container a name in order to Parse to resolve the host

Run the Parse container:

$ docker run -d -p 1337:1337 --name parse --net=parse_network bitnami/parse

Then you can access your application at http://your-ip/parse

Persisting your application

If you remove every container and volume all your data will be lost, and the next time you run the image the application will be reinitialized. To avoid this loss of data, you should mount a volume that will persist even after the container is removed.

For persistence of the Parse deployment, the above examples define docker volumes namely mongodb_data and parse_data. The Parse application state will persist as long as these volumes are not removed.

To avoid inadvertent removal of these volumes you can mount host directories as data volumes. Alternatively you can make use of volume plugins to host the volume data.

Note! If you have already started using your application, follow the steps on backing up to pull the data from your running container down to your host.

Mount host directories as data volumes with Docker Compose

This requires a minor change to the docker-compose.yml template previously shown:

version: '2'

  mongodb:
    image: 'bitnami/mongodb:latest'
    volumes:
      - '/path/to/your/local/mongodb_data:/bitnami/mongodb'
  parse:
    image: bitnami/parse:latest
    depends_on:
      - mongodb
    ports:
      - 1337:1337
    volumes:
      - '/path/to/parse-persistence:/bitnami/parse'

Mount host directories as data volumes using the Docker command line

In this case you need to specify the directories to mount on the run command. The process is the same than the one previously shown:

Create a network (if it does not exist):

$ docker network create parse-tier

Create a MongoDB container with host volume:

$ docker run -d --name mongodb \
  --net parse-tier \
  --volume /path/to/mongodb-persistence:/bitnami/mongodb \
  bitnami/mongodb:latest

Note: You need to give the container a name in order to Parse to resolve the host

Run the Parse container:

$ docker run -d --name parse -p 1337:1337 \
  --net parse-tier \
  --volume /path/to/parse-persistence:/bitnami/parse \
   bitnami/parse:latest

Upgrade this application

Bitnami provides up-to-date versions of Mongodb and Parse, including security patches, soon after they are made upstream. We recommend that you follow these steps to upgrade your container. We will cover here the upgrade of the Parse container. For the Mongodb upgrade see https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-mongodb/blob/master/README.md#upgrade-this-image

Get the updated images:

$ docker pull bitnami/parse:latest

Stop your container

For docker-compose: $ docker-compose stop parse
For manual execution: $ docker stop parse

(For non-compose execution only) Create a backup if you have not mounted the parse folder in the host.
Remove the currently running container

For docker-compose: $ docker-compose rm parse
For manual execution: $ docker rm parse

Run the new image

For docker-compose: $ docker-compose start parse
For manual execution (mount the directories if needed): docker run --name parse bitnami/parse:latest

Configuration

Environment variables

When you start the parse image, you can adjust the configuration of the instance by passing one or more environment variables either on the docker-compose file or on the docker run command line. If you want to add a new environment variable:

For docker-compose add the variable name and value under the application section:

application:
  image: bitnami/parse:latest
  ports:
    - 1337:1337
  environment:
    - PARSE_SERVER_HOST=my_host
  volumes:
    - 'parse_data:/bitnami/parse'
  depends_on:
    - mongodb

For manual execution add a -e option with each variable and value:

 $ docker run -d -e PARSE_SERVER_HOST=my_host -p 1337:1337 --name parse -v /your/local/path/bitnami/parse:/bitnami/parse --network=parse_network bitnami/parse

Available variables:

PARSE_SERVER_HOST: Parse server host. Default: 127.0.0.1
PARSE_SERVER_PORT: Parse server port. Default: 1337
PARSE_SERVER_MOUNT_PATH: Parse server mount path. Default: /parse
PARSE_SERVER_APP_ID: Parse server App ID. Default: myappID
PARSE_SERVER_MASTER_KEY: Parse server Master Key: mymasterKey
MONGODB_HOST: Hostname for Mongodb server. Default: mongodb
MONGODB_PORT: Port used by Mongodb server. Default: 27017

Backing up your application

To backup your application data follow these steps:

Stop the running container:

For docker-compose: $ docker-compose stop parse
For manual execution: $ docker stop parse

Copy the Parse data folder in the host:

$ docker cp /your/local/path/bitnami:/bitnami/parse

Restoring a backup

To restore your application using backed up data simply mount the folder with Parse data in the container. See persisting your application section for more info.
