How to use multiple parse apps using PM2 and Nginx

Question

I'm wondering on how I can migrate different apps to the same server, I'm using PM2 to ensure it's always running.

Here is my ecosystem file

{
  "apps" : [{
    "name"        : "parse-wrapper",
    "script"      : "/usr/bin/parse-server",
    "watch"       : true,
    "merge_logs"  : true,
    "cwd"         : "/home/parse",
    "env": {
      "PARSE_SERVER_CLOUD_CODE_MAIN": "/home/parse/cloud/main.js",
      "PARSE_SERVER_DATABASE_URI": "mongodb://parse:password@your_domain_name:27017/database_name?ssl=true",
      "PARSE_SERVER_APPLICATION_ID": "your_application_id",
      "PARSE_SERVER_MASTER_KEY": "your_master_key",
    }
  }]
}

Shoud I use the same ecosystem file or should I create a new one and run ??

PM2 start

How to configure the URL to different apps in Nginx

location /app1/ {
            proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
            proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
            proxy_pass http://localhost:1337/parse/;
            proxy_ssl_session_reuse off;
            proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
            proxy_redirect off;
    }

This is how I have mine setup, but you should also create a new ecosystem for each api you have running. But for the .info file in the NGINX you should list all of your app locations like this:

        location /app1/ {
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
        proxy_pass http://localhost:1337/parse/;
        proxy_ssl_session_reuse off;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_redirect off;
}
        location /app2/ {
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
        proxy_pass http://localhost:1338/parse/;
        proxy_ssl_session_reuse off;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_redirect off;
}

So I was able to set up multiple parse apps with the following configuration:

My ecosystem.json:

  { "apps" : [ { "name" : "first app", "script" : "parse-server", "ignore_watch": ["logs"], "watch" : true, "merge_logs" : true, "cwd" : "/root/parse-server/", "env": { "PARSE_SERVER_CLOUD_CODE_MAIN": "/root/cloud/main.js", "PARSE_SERVER_DATABASE_URI": "mongodb://localhost:27017/DATABASE_NAME", "PARSE_SERVER_APPLICATION_ID": "<APP_ID>", "PARSE_SERVER_MASTER_KEY": "APP_MASTER_KEY", "PORT": "1337", "PARSE_SERVER_URL": "http://localhost:1337/parse", } }, { "name" : "second app", "script" : "parse-server", "ignore_watch": ["logs"], "watch" : true, "merge_logs" : true, "cwd" : "/root/parse-server/", "env": { "PARSE_SERVER_CLOUD_CODE_MAIN": "/root/pace-app/cloud/main.js", "PARSE_SERVER_DATABASE_URI": "mongodb://localhost:27017/logisticsDB", "PARSE_SERVER_APPLICATION_ID": "<APP_ID>", "PARSE_SERVER_MASTER_KEY": "<APP_MASTER_KEY>", "PORT": "1338", "PARSE_SERVER_URL": "http://localhost/app2", } }, { "name" : "dashboard", "script" : "parse-dashboard", "watch" : true, "merge_logs" : true, "cwd" : "/usr/local/bin/", "args" : "--config /root/dashboard.json --allowInsecureHTTP true" }] } 

My dashboard.json:

 { "allowInsecureHTTP": true, "apps": [ { "serverURL": "http://somedomain:1337/parse", "appId": "<APP_ID>", "masterKey": "<APP_MASTER_KEY>", "appName": "APP 1" }, { "serverURL": "https://somedomain/app2", "appId": "<APP_ID>", "masterKey": "<APP_MASTER_KEY>", "appName": "App 2" } ], "users": [ { "user": "user", "pass": "pass", "apps": [{ "appId": "<APP_ID>" }] }, { "user": "admin", "pass": "admin", "apps": [{ "appId": "<APP_ID>" }] } ] } 

My /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default was something similar to what user1959311 has.

Hope it helps.

Cheers
