Parse Server with MongoDB ReplicaSet using Docker

This branch is for AWS EC2

If you want to use Google Cloud Platform, try GCP branch

Notes

It's probably not a good idea to run this setup in production as each mongo instance should be split across different machines. However for a single ec2 instance environment this fits our needs.

Usage

  • Start and show logs (turn off logs : ctrl+c)

     $ docker-compose up -d && docker-compose logs -f
 (or)
 $ ./prod_start.sh

  • Stop

     $ docker-compose down
 (or)
 $ ./prod_stop.sh

  • Restart parseapi container

     $ docker-compose restart parseapi
 (or)
 $ ./prod_restart.sh

Setup

Init MongoDB

  1. Initial replicaset

    $ docker-compose -f docker-compose-init.yml up
(Stop after all work is done : ctrl + c)

  2. Copy, remove '_sample' from the name, and change password these files

    • /scripts/config_sample.sh > /scripts/config.sh
    • /parse-server/config_sample.sh > /parse-server/config.sh
    • /parse-server/config_dev_sample.sh > /parse-server/config_dev.sh

  3. Add authentication

    $ docker-compose -f docker-compose-addauth.yml up
(Stop after all work is done : ctrl + c)

    If added user failed, retry until shown 'Successfully added user'.

Change Parse-server Keys

  • You need to change Parse-server keys in these files.

    • /parse-server/config.sh
    • /parse-server/config_dev.sh

  • For making new keys, I recommend to use randomkeygem.com

Parse-server

  • Default address

     $ curl http://localhost/parse

  • Dashboard (Web Data Browser)

     http://localhost/dashboard

Parse Server external path

  • 'parse-server/cloud' and 'parse-server/public' are accessable volume.
    • you can modify them and restart parseapi container for deploy.

Development

  • The MongoDB can be remotely located instance and you can run the local parse-server to facilitate cloud-code development.

     docker-compose -f docker-compose-dev.yml up -d && docker-compose logs -f
 (or)
 $ ./dev_start.sh

Access Bash shell of Container

  • Check Status of Docker containers

     $ docker ps

  • Access shell of Parse-server container with

    • docker exec -it dockerparsemongo_parseapi_1 bash
    • docker-compose exec parseapi bash

  • Access shell of MongoDB container with

    • docker exec -it dockerparsemongo_mongo1_1 bash

    • docker-compose exec mongo1 bash

    • And, access mongo shell using mongo

Host O/S Guide

Choose your favorite Linux, such as AML or Ubuntu. Docker and Docker-Compose are required.

Add swap

  • t1-micro has 1Gb memory, requires swap

     $ sudo fallocate -l 2G /swapfile
 $ sudo chown root:root /swapfile
 $ sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
 $ sudo mkswap /swapfile	
 $ sudo swapon /swapfile
 $ sudo swapon -a
 $ sudo vi /etc/fstab
 
 (Add it to the last line.)
 /swapfile   swap   swap   defaults  0  0
 
 $ sudo swapon -s
 $ free -m

MongoDB Storage for EC2

  • When created EC2 instance, add 3 ebs volumes for db path.

  • mount ebs volumes to './data/rs0-1', './data/rs0-2', './data/rs0-3'

  • The free tier provides 30 GB of storage, I recommend this capacity configuration.

    • host : 9 GB / rs0-1 : 10 GB / rs0-2 : 10 GB / rs0-3 : 1 GB
     $ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/xvdb
 $ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/xvdc
 $ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/xvdd
 $ echo '/dev/xvdb __your-path__/data/rs0-1 ext4 defaults,auto,noatime,noexec 0 0
 /dev/xvdc __your-path__/data/rs0-2 ext4 defaults,auto,noatime,noexec 0 0
 /dev/xvdd __your-path__/data/rs0-3 ext4 defaults,auto,noatime,noexec 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
