Parse.Config does not work on Parse Server?

Question

I can't seem to find anything official about this: Does Parse.Config work on Parse Server? It used to work on Parse.com but when I try to migrate to Parse.Server, when trying the REST API it seem to fail:

GET http://localhost:1337/parse/config

Passing in my app ID. I read somewhere Config does not work on Parse Server, but wanted to confirm

Although is not officially supported as mentioned on the docs,there is a way to make it work. It is still an experimental implementation though.

As mentioned here & here, you should set the environment variable: PARSE_EXPERIMENTAL_CONFIG_ENABLED=1

Then restart your node server. In case you deployed it on heroku for example you should on cli heroku restart -a <APP_NAME>

If that doesn't work I would suggest to simply add your route with your configuration options on your project's index.js file where express is initialized like so.

var parseConfig = {
  "params": { /*...put your options here*/ }
};

// :one? is for old SDK compatibility while is optional parameter.
app.all('/parse/:one?/config', function (req, res) {
  res.json(parseConfig);
});
