# Parse

[Parse](https://parse.com/) is an open source version of the Parse backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js.

## TL;DR;

```console
$ helm install stable/parse
```

## Introduction

This chart bootstraps a [Parse](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-parse) deployment on a [Kubernetes](http://kubernetes.io) cluster using the [Helm](https://helm.sh) package manager.

## Prerequisites

- Kubernetes 1.4+ with Beta APIs enabled
- PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure

## Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name `my-release`:

```console
$ helm install --name my-release stable/parse
```

The command deploys Parse on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The [configuration](#configuration) section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

> **Tip**: List all releases using `helm list`

## Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the `my-release` deployment:

```console
$ helm delete my-release
```

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

## Configuration

The following tables lists the configurable parameters of the Parse chart and their default values.

The above parameters map to the env variables defined in [bitnami/parse](http://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-parse). For more information please refer to the [bitnami/parse](http://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-parse) image documentation.

> **Note**:
>
> For the Parse application function correctly, you should specify the `parseHost` parameter to specify the FQDN (recommended) or the public IP address of the Parse service.
>
> Optionally, you can specify the `loadBalancerIP` parameter to assign a reserved IP address to the Parse service of the chart. However please note that this feature is only available on a few cloud providers (f.e. GKE).
>
> To reserve a public IP address on GKE:
>
> ```bash
> $ gcloud compute addresses create parse-public-ip
> ```
>
> The reserved IP address can be associated to the Parse service by specifying it as the value of the `loadBalancerIP` parameter while installing the chart.

Specify each parameter using the `--set key=value[,key=value]` argument to `helm install`. For example,

```console
$ helm install --name my-release \
  --set dashboard.username=admin,dashboard.password=password \
    stable/parse
```

The above command sets the Parse administrator account username and password to `admin` and `password` respectively.

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the above parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

```console
$ helm install --name my-release -f values.yaml stable/parse
```

> **Tip**: You can use the default [values.yaml](values.yaml)

## Persistence

The [Bitnami Parse](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-parse) image stores the Parse data and configurations at the `/bitnami/parse` path of the container.

Persistent Volume Claims are used to keep the data across deployments. This is known to work in GCE, AWS, and minikube.
See the [Configuration](#configuration) section to configure the PVC or to disable persistence.
