Configure a user to access Parse Dashboard remotely

Question

Here's what I get trying to access the parse-dashboard running on Docker (local)

Here's the docker command I run:

docker run -d -p 4040:4040 --name myappname-local-dashboard -e PARSE_DASHBOARD_ALLOW_INSECURE_HTTP=1 -e USER1=admin  -e USER1_PASSWORD=pass -v /home/xybrek/parse-dashboard/config.json:/home/xybrek/parse-dashboard/Parse-Dashboard/parse-dashboard-config.json parse-dashboard

config.json

{  
    "appId": "appId",
    "cloud": "main.js",
    "masterKey": "masterKey",
    "javascriptKey" : "javascriptKey",
    "restAPIKey" : "restAPIKey",
    "databaseURI": "mongodb://localhost/test",
    "port": 8080
}

parse-dashboard-config.json

{
  "apps": [{
    "serverURL": "http://localhost:1337/parse",
    "appId": "appId",
    "masterKey": "masterKey",
    "appName": "myappname",
    "iconName": ""
  }],
  "iconsFolder": "icons",
  "users": 
  [
    {
        "user":"admin",
        "pass":"pass"
    }
  ]
}

What could be wrong here?

Answer 1

You're placing the config in a wrong place.

Use this:

docker run -d -p 4040:4040 --name myappname-local-dashboard \
-e PARSE_DASHBOARD_ALLOW_INSECURE_HTTP=1 \
-e USER1=admin  \
-e USER1_PASSWORD=pass \
-v $(pwd)/parse-dashboard-config.json:/src/Parse-Dashboard/parse-dashboard-config.json \
parse-dashboard

Also I changed the source of the volume ($(pwd)/parse-dashboard-config.json) to get the config from your current dir.

See docs.

Edit. Maybe you need to add apps to user config:

{
  "apps": [{
    "serverURL": "http://localhost:1337/parse",
    "appId": "appId",
    "masterKey": "masterKey",
    "appName": "myappname",
    "iconName": ""
  }],
  "iconsFolder": "icons",
  "users": 
  [
    {
        "user":"admin",
        "pass":"pass",
        "apps": [{"appId": "appId"}]
    }
  ]
}
