### Inside a Docker container

```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server
$ cd parse-server
$ docker build --tag parse-server .
$ docker run --name my-mongo -d mongo
$ docker run --name my-parse-server -v cloud-code-vol:/parse-server/cloud -v config-vol:/parse-server/config -p 1337:1337 --link my-mongo:mongo -d parse-server --appId APPLICATION_ID --masterKey MASTER_KEY --databaseURI mongodb://mongo/test
```

#### Running the Parse Server Image

```bash
$ docker run --name my-parse-server -v config-vol:/parse-server/config -p 1337:1337 --link my-mongo:mongo -d parse-server --appId APPLICATION_ID --masterKey MASTER_KEY --databaseURI mongodb://mongo/test
```

***Note:*** *If you want to use [Cloud Code](https://docs.parseplatform.org/cloudcode/guide/) feature, please add `-v cloud-code-vol:/parse-server/cloud --cloud /parse-server/cloud/main.js` to command above. Make sure the `main.js` file is available in the `cloud-code-vol` directory before run this command. Otherwise, an error will occur.*

You can use any arbitrary string as your application id and master key. These will be used by your clients to authenticate with the Parse Server.

That's it! You are now running a standalone version of Parse Server on your machine.

After starting the server, you can visit http://localhost:1337/playground in your browser to start playing with your GraphQL API.

***Note:*** Do ***NOT*** use --mountPlayground option in production. [Parse Dashboard](https://github.com/parse-community/parse-dashboard) has a built-in GraphQL Playground and it is the recommended option for production apps.
