Parse-Dashboard: Server Not Reachable: unable to connect server Error - docker

Question

I have parse-server and parse-dashboard installed with pm2 in docker container in my synology nas as below:
+------+ +-------------+
| +NIC1 (192.168.1.100) <--> Router <--> (192.168.1.2) NIC1 + |
| PC | | DSM |
| +NIC2 (10.10.0.100) <--Peer-2-Peer---> (10.10.0.2) NIC2 + |
+------+ | [DOCKER] |
|(172.17.0.2) |
+-------------+
for reference: for pm2 setup, i'm following: this tutorial
here is my parse-server and parse-dashboard pm2 ecosystem (defined in pm2's ecosystem.json):
{
"apps" : [{
"name" : "parse-wrapper",
"script" : "/usr/bin/parse-server",
"watch" : true,
"merge_logs" : true,
"cwd" : "/home/parse",
"args" : "--serverURL http://localhost:1337/parse",
"env": {
"PARSE_SERVER_CLOUD_CODE_MAIN": "/home/parse/cloud/main.js",
"PARSE_SERVER_DATABASE_URI": "mongodb://localhost/test",
"PARSE_SERVER_APPLICATION_ID": "aeb932b93a9125c19df2fcaf3fd69fcb",
"PARSE_SERVER_MASTER_KEY": "358898112f354f8db593ea004ee88fed",
}
},{
"name" : "parse-dashboard-wrapper",
"script" : "/usr/bin/parse-dashboard",
"watch" : true,
"merge_logs" : true,
"cwd" : "/home/parse/parse-dashboard",
"args" : "--config /home/parse/parse-dashboard/config.json --allowInsecureHTTP=1"
}]
}
here is my parse-dashboard config: /home/parse/parse-dashboard/config.json
{
"apps": [{
"serverURL": "http://172.17.0.2:1337/parse",
"appId": "aeb932b93a9125c19df2fcaf3fd69fcb",
"masterKey": "358898112f354f8db593ea004ee88fed",
"appName": "Parse Server",
"iconName": "",
"primaryBackgroundColor": "",
"secondaryBackgroundColor": ""
}],
"users": [{
"user": "user",
"pass": "1234"
}],
"iconsFolder": "icons"
}
once you run: pm2 start ecosystem.json
here is parse-server log: pm2 logs 0

[1269] parse-server running on http://localhost:1337/parse
here is parse-dashboard log: pm2 logs 1
The dashboard is now available at http://0.0.0.0:4040/
once it's run, i can access 192.168.1.2:1337/parse (which will return {"error":"unauthorized"})
and i can access 192.168.1.2:4040
but it return:
Server not reachable: unable to connect to server
i see a lot of this issue can be solve by changing parse-dashboard config "serverURL": "http://localhost:1337/parse" to "serverURL": "http://172.17.0.2:1337/parse"
but to me, it's still no luck...
any idea what i've been missing here?

Answer 1

so apparently, my /home/parse/parse-dashboard/config.json:
"serverURL": "http://172.17.0.2:1337/parse"
should point to my DSM machine which is:
"serverURL": "http://192.168.1.2:1337/parse"
