Parse server(s), dashboard, and mongo database running via docker.

Everything works fine with one server. I added another server for a new app, linked the same mongo database container to the bother parse-server instances, and when i got to my dashboard, the apps are sharing data. I would have expected the parse-server to be using some sort of unique identifier allowing multiple apps to share a database, but i am not that familiar with how mongo works.

I can "fix" this easily enough by having each server use its own mongo instance, but I just want to make sure Im not doing something wrong with my current implementation.

use the collection prefix or a different mongoURL

mongodb://my.server.com/appId_1
mongodb://my.server.com/appId_2

This will use the same server but different databases

The other option is to use the collectionPrefix option with a single mongoURL:

// first app
new ParseServer({
  collectionPrefix: appId1,
  databaseURI: "mongodb://my.server.com/parse"
});

// other server, second app
new ParseServer({
  collectionPrefix: appId2,
  databaseURI: "mongodb://my.server.com/parse"
})
