Update Parse Server on Ubuntu

I have my own Parse server running on an Ubuntu droplet on Digital Ocean. I'm pretty new to running my own backend. How do I check what version of Parse Server I'm running and how do I update it to the latest version?

Solution

    1. Open terminal (command line tool), then use "cd" command to navigate to your parse-server-example directory: cd ...../parse-server-example/

    2. Pull latest source code from github with command: git pull

    3. Install packages and dependencies: npm install

    4. Run it: npm run index.js

    If you want your server keep running you can install and use forever.

    Good luck!
