Can't use parse dashboard through domain

Parse Dashboard
1

I can’t load parse dashboard through domain, hosted in digitalocean vps - ubuntu 20.04
full (strict) ssl - cloudflare

dashboard is accessible through direct IP address access - “htt p://ipaddress:4040/login”

nginx - reverse proxy enabled for dashboard and server, reverse proxy working for parse server but failing on dashboard.
when i try to load “htt ps://mydomain.com/dashboard” - it redirects to “htt ps://mydomain.com/login” with 404 Not found page

nginx config on /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/domain.com

# HTTP - redirect all requests to HTTPS
server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
    return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
# HTTPS - proxy requests to /parse-server/
# through to Parse Server
server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
    ssl_certificate         /etc/ssl/cert.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key     /etc/ssl/key.pem;
    ssl_client_certificate /etc/ssl/cloudflare.crt;
    ssl_verify_client on;
    server_name domain.com www.domain.com;
    root /usr/share/nginx/html;
    index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

  # Pass requests for /parse/ to Parse Server instance at localhost:1337
    location /parse-app/ {
         proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
         proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
         proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
         proxy_pass http://localhost:1337/app/;
         proxy_ssl_session_reuse off;
         proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
         proxy_redirect off;
    }

    location /dashboard/ {
         proxy_pass http://localhost:4040/dashboard/;
         proxy_set_header Host $host;
         proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
         proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
         proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
     }
}

parse server json

{
  "appName": "AppName",
  "databaseURI": "mongodb://localhost:27017/app",
  "appId": "DJFKASJFI3S8DSJFDH",
  "masterKey": "823JKHR87SDFJSDHF8DFHASFDF",
  "serverURL": "http://localhost:1337/app/",
  "publicServerURL": "https://domain/parse-app/",
  "port": 1337,
  "mountPath": "/app"
}

dashboard config json

{
  "apps": [
    {
      "serverURL": "http://ipaddress:1337/app",
      "appId": "DJFKASJFI3S8DSJFDH",
      "masterKey": "823JKHR87SDFJSDHF8DFHASFDF",
      "allowInsecureHTTP": "true",
      "appName": "appname"
    }
  ],
"users": [
    {
      "user":"adminapp@4421",
      "pass":"appoadmin@4444#"
    }
  ],
  "iconsFolder": "icons"
}

parse server is working through both domain and direct ipaddress:1337

parse dashboard is only available through ipaddress:4040 and it’s working fine
when i try to access using https://domain/dashboard/ it is redirected to https://domainname.com/login and showing a 404 page

1337, 4040 ports are open

2

Try to add the env var MOUNT_PATH with value /dashboard/

3

added in dashboard_config.json

"mountPath":/dashboard"

also tried with

"port": 4040

  location /dashboard/ {
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
        proxy_pass http://localhost:4040/dashboard/;
        proxy_ssl_session_reuse off;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_redirect off;
     }

still the same results. I’m pulling my hair …:frowning:
its driving me crazy for past 3 days.

MOUNT_PATH needs to be an env var

5

I’m sorry to bother you again, I’m a newbie in backend and server management, I really don’t understand what you meant by

MOUNT_PATH needs to be an env var

I used JSON to config parse and used nohup to run the server.

it is redirecting to https://domain.com/login (404 not found) when I enter https://domain.com/dashboard i really don’t under stand why its happening.
It will be really helpful if you can point me to the right direction.
Thank you

How are you starting parse dashboard?

8

Hi, Is there any suggestion to resolve this issue

9 
nohup parse-dashboard --dev --config  ~/parsesample/config_parsesample_dashboard.json &
10

Just an idea:
Try changing this statement in Nginx’s config:
proxy_pass http://localhost:4040/dashboard/;
To this:
proxy_pass http://localhost:4040/;

Then restart Nginx and try accessing your dashboard again.

You can also try nohup MOUNT_PATH='/dashboard/' parse-dashboard --dev --config ~/parsesample/config_parsesample_dashboard.json &
