Parse-dashboard: How can I deploy this project straight to AWS Elastic Beanstalk?

[juliusbtesh]

I have tried uploading and deploying this into a node.js environment but I get a "Health" degraded (red) with errors. Is it possible to deploy this package into EB or not?

I'm running into the same thing. Tried with docker too, without any luck (although I'm no expert on docker).

If anyone is interested then please check out and give me feedback about my parse-dashboard-example project. It is similar to the parse-server-example.

Please check it out at: https://github.com/cherukumilli/parse-dashboard-example

Thank you @cherukumilli , I have actually got this one working ( I believe both of those working ) when I came across them not too long ago. The only issue I am having is that I don't think they are on the latest versions from the official repositories and I wouldn't know how to get them to always be on the latest either.

@D34thStalker What version of parse-dashboard did you get working?

[juliusbtesh]

@chathaw I don't know the version because it doesn't show it. Its whatever version is included in the above post from @cherukumilli . In order to get that one working with AWS, I downloaded the zip and changed the index.js file to have the correct information regarding my parse server domain and app info and it worked.

EDIT::: Actually I apologize! I just looked intoi my source files for the parse dashboard and noticed I don't think I am using the repository listed above. I must have found another repository somewhere else with an easier deployment method. That being said, - The one I have now doesn't seem like the latest. But now that I have a better understanding of this AWS deployment I will try and set up the repository above on my AWS account and see if I can get it working. If yes, I will respond with details. If not, I can surely give you the package I am currently using.

@chathaw I have just deployed the package in the above repository and it is working with v1.0.10. If you want instructions for what I did, you can email me.

@D34thStalker instead of sending you an email you could send the steps to this issue ;)

Alright, I'll try to elaborate as best as possible: @diego-vieira

I downloaded the files from here https://github.com/cherukumilli/parse-dashboard-example
In AWS EB, on the web panel (You don't have to do this through the terminal), you could create an Application and then an environment containing a Node.js configuration
In the software configuration of this environment, I used these environment variables (to pass through to the js script);
APP_ID
APP_NAME
MASTER_KEY
SERVER_URL

Set the properties to your correct values.
Once the environment is set up, you can get the files from earlier ready to deploy.
Here is an updated index.js file, the one that I am currently using.
index.js.zip

*When you make a zip file to deploy into AWS EB, you must make sure that there is no parent folder - the zip that you create should be by selecting all the files/folders that you see above - see pic for reference

*

Now that you have the zip ready to go, just go back to the AWS EB Environment and deploy the zip. Once it completes , if you have all the configurations set properly, it should be ready to use.

@D34thStalker sweet, worked like a charm. kudos.

You can run it on the same instance where you run your parse server. You just need to edit the index.js file in the parse server to add parse dashboard configuration, and add the parse-dashboard to package.json in dependencies.

How do you find the info for the following?

APP_ID
APP_NAME
MASTER_KEY
SERVER_URL

[flovilmart]

You set them on based on your parse-server setup.
