Why use Bitnami Images?

• Bitnami closely tracks upstream source changes and promptly publishes new versions of this image using our automated systems.
• With Bitnami images the latest bug fixes and features are available as soon as possible.
• Bitnami containers, virtual machines and cloud images use the same components and configuration approach - making it easy to switch between formats based on your project needs.
• All our images are based on minideb a minimalist Debian based container image which gives you a small base container image and the familiarity of a leading linux distribution.
• All Bitnami images available in Docker Hub are signed with Docker Content Trust (DTC). You can use DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST=1 to verify the integrity of the images.
• Bitnami container images are released daily with the latest distribution packages available.

Configuring Parse Server & Parse Dashboard

Parse Server & Parse Dashboards are configured via config.json files

Config files are located at the Bitnami folder. All available Parse Server options are at https://parseplatform.org/parse-server/api/4.1.0/ParseServerOptions.html

Databases are set to store persistent data in the Docker volumes. Cloud code data are located at the './data' folder and logs are srored at the './log/' folder.

Parse cloud code

Cloud Code is built into Parse Server. The default entry point for your Cloud Code is at ./data/cloud-code/main.js

The main.js file contains two dummy examples of Parse Cloud function

The first one is POST /functions/sayHelloWorld and second one is the Parse.Cloud.afterSave(Parse.User, (request)...

How to test Parse Cloud function exampl?

• by using CURL command

curl --location --request POST 'localhost:1337/parse/functions/sayHelloWorld' \
--header 'X-Parse-Application-Id: myappID' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw ''

• by using Postman collection with Postman pre-defined environment

The Postman collection and environment is located at the ./etc/postman folder
