Parse Dashboard on AWS and adding cloud code - amazon-web-services

Question

I configured a parse server on my AWS elastic beanstalk using this guid I've tested it and it all works fine
Now I can't find a way to deploy parse dashboard on my server.
I did deployed parse dashboard on my local host and connected it to the application on server, But this way I cannot manage (Add and remove) my apps.
Another problem is that parse dashboard missing cloud code on default, I found this on git, but I cant understand where do I add the requested endpoints, is it something like adding app.use('/scripts', express.static(path.join(__dirname, '/scripts'))); on the index.js file?

Answer 1

in order to deploy parse-dashboard to your EC2 you need to follow the Deploying Parse Dashboard section in parse-dashboard github page
parse-dashbard github page
Please make sure that when you deploy parse-dashboard you are using https and also basic authentication (it is also part of the guide)
Now regarding the cloud code: the ability to deploy cloud code via parse CLI and to view the nodejs code in parse dashboard are not available in parse-server but those are parse.com features. Cloud code in parse-server is handled by modifying the main.js file which exist under the cloud folder and deployment should be done manually by you but the big advantage in parse-server cloud code is that you can use any NodeJS module that you want from there and you are not restricted to the modules that were used by parse.com .
Another point about the dashboard. What you can do is to create an express application and then add parse-server and parse-dashboard as a middleware to your express application and deploy the whole application to AWS and then you can enjoy both parse-server (that will be available under the /parse path, unless you changed it to something else) and parse dashboard that will be available under the /dashboard path
Enjoy :)
