The goal of parse-cli-server project is to support parse-cli command line tool, providing a simple interface to development and deployment to parse-server and enabling BaaS solutions to easily work with it.

ParseCliServer must be mounted in ParseServer to easily share their config object. The default implementation use only config.databaseController and config.filesController.

let config = AppCache.get(appId);
const cliServer = new ParseCliServer(config, {cloud: options.cloud});
app.use('/1', cliServer.app);

Run ParseServer with these changes and use parse-cli project to manage your development and deployment lifecycle.

After install parse-cli, set the PARSE_SERVER environment variable.

$ export PARSE_SERVER=http://localhost:1337/1/
$ parse-cli configure accountkey -d
Input your account key or press ENTER to generate a new one.
