hello, i am trying to setup parse server and i am getting this issue:

i can do psql postgres://sync:123456@localhost/sync-server and will connect to the DB.

if someone can give me some tips thank you.

I think your parse-server config need to set the “cloud: /absolute/path/code.js”, that on your Docker command will be at the volume “/sync-config/cloud/your-file.js”.

Another issue that I see by the log is the usage of the port “5432”, but your DB is running on por “123456”…

123456 is the password, @localhost will give the host and the port will use the default 5432, so i dont need to put it.

i put absolute path but have the same error:

docker run --name sync-server -v cloud-code-vol:/opt/aservices/apps/sync-server/sync-config/cloud -v config-vol:/opt/aservices/apps/sync-server/sync-config/config -p 1337:1337 -d sync-server --appId appID --masterKey key --databaseURI postgres://sync:123456@localhost/sync-server

Well, if the DB server is on another Docker container “localhost” (on container localhost mean the container itself, not the host) will not work, you can use the container name, or your local IP address, like “192.168.0.10:5432” on the DB param.

Is on the host and not on a container

Ok, use the host IP (local IP) to connect to DB, because can be a Docker issue to understand “localhost” as the Host inside the container.

how can i do that?, sorry for bothering.

Replace “localhost” by your local IP address like this: databaseURI: postgres://sync:[email protected]/sync-server - in this case 192.168.0.10 is the IP.

If you don’t know your local network ip, search on google how “how to get my local IP on Windows/Mac/Linux”… :+1:

ok, that worked, but now i try to install parse-dashboard too on docker, but i am getting blank page.

You can use the Parse Dashboard imagem from docker-hub, the oficial image, then just configure the settings to connect with your parse server (not DB), using the same local IP address with the parse server port.

tryed the same withe docker pull parseplatform/dashboard:

docker run -d -p 4040:4040 parseplatform/parse-dashboard --dev --appId appid --masterKey key --serverURL http://localhost:1337/parse --publicServerURL ds.astian.org

Again, do not use “localhost” to connect to others containers, for example: --serverURL http://192.168.0.10:1337/parse --publicServerURL http://192.168.0.10:1337/parse

thank, i am using the ip, but dashboard from the oficial repo on hub.docker.org and the one on the github, appear on blank showing this error.

Well, can be something on your machine, network, to me works fine this Docker image, I’ve tested now.

how can i enable dashboard to access from a subdomain?

like you can see, i created an apache vhost, on the old post, but i am getting this error of loading,

but if i create a tunnel with ssh -L, will work.

docker run -d --network=host parseplatform/parse-dashboard --appName Astian-Sync --appId appid --masterKey masterkey --serverURL http://localhost:1337/parse --allowInsecureHTTP true
