Steps to reproduce

I am following the steps in this Medium article:

Which can be summarized as:

In writing up this original post I actually solved the issue. (Don't you love it when that happens, Mr. Rubber Duck?) But I wanted to post it anyway so I can share what I learned.

For me, the issue was in the environment variable PARSE_DASHBOARD_SERVER_URL=http://localhost:1337/parse.

Because I was accessing the server from another system on the network, I needed to fix this to be the IP address of the system hosting my docker container. Eg: PARSE_DASHBOARD_SERVER_URL=http://192.168.2.39:1337/parse.

And now I can see my dashboard!

I am good with marking this ticket as closed :)
