This branch is for AWS EC2

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

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.

• 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

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'.

• 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

• Default address

   $ curl http://localhost/parse

• Dashboard (Web Data Browser)

   http://localhost/dashboard

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

• 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

• Check Status of Docker containers

   $ docker ps  CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES  b1ea1556bbf6 node:6 "/parse/setup.sh" About a minute ago Up About a minute 0.0.0.0:1337->1337/tcp dockerparsemongo_parseapi_1  12cfb5cdbfd8 mongo:3.4 "mongod --replSet ..."

• 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

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

• 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

• 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

• I recommend to use aws ebs snapshot for backup & restore.
  • lambda-ec2-snapshots
• And, you can read it.
  • EC2 Backup and Restore
  • MongoDB point-in-time recoveries

• I reccommend to use adminMongo
  • Thank you @mrvautin
