I have used Bitnami VM
to deploy Parse Server on Azure but I cannot seem to be able to access Parse Server Dashboard. What URL is it available on? Do I need to open any ports?

Just an update on this. A new version of Parse Server provided by Bitnami is now available in the Azure Marketplace. The new version does include the Dashboard.

Have you been following Bitnami instructions?
It states you can access the dashboard using this URL: http://[server-IP-address]/parse
This means only TCP/80 port needs to be open (on your Network Security Group if you use one or in your VM ACL if you don't).
You have now other (probably easier) options to deploy Parse Server on Azure:
- using a dedicated ARM template leveraging Azure services (App Service, DocumentDB, Notification hub, ...).
- using Azure App Service with the original Facebook/Parse version with MongoDB.

Thanks for the answer. It says "Access Parse Server" not "Access Parse Server Dashboard". And also I would expect some instructions on what ports to open. Normally dashboard runs on port 4040, right? – Foti Dim May 11 '16 at 08:10

Port can be configured as explain [here](https://github.com/ParsePlatform/parse-dashboard) (github). Did you follow these instructions to install/configure Parse dashboard? You'll need to open the corresponding dashboard port (TCP/4040 by default). – sebbrochet May 11 '16 at 10:06

I've got it. The bitnami guys were kind enough to reply to me for this topic:
You can launch the latest Parse version that ships the Dashboard from https://vmdepot.msopentech.com/Vhd/Show?vhdId=64574&version=66817 It could take some time to be available in the Azure Marketplace
So bottom line, use the image from VM depot and not the one on Azure Marketplace as it is an old one and doesn't include the Dashboard.
