@andreasdueren yes, this was a regression in 8.1. https://git.cloudron.io/platform/box/-/commit/16fa3390252e29f1803a18990c7b104817fa4d9f is the fix

thanks @nebulon & @girish, this does indeed fix everything, appreciate it 🙏

The app package passed CI tests and is out by now.

Cloudron doesn't support having app's database outside of Cloudron. It will break much functionality like backup/restore/import etc. I think if you want the db outside of Cloudron, you have to host Directus outside Cloudron as well.

Ok this is solved. I tried to add the solved label, but I can't find it here. So thank you. 🙂

I've confirmed the latest version works without issue, following the steps I've outlined before.

Essentially, Directus installed on Cloudron and hosting the frontend on another platform like Vercel (free plan).

You need to install the Directus CLI on your local computer, edit the .env file with your Directus "Service Account" and you can deploy this solution.

To be honest, based on it working, I would say another package with AgencyOS wouldn't be worthwhile once you get it deployed.

@Jeyakumarrathnaselvi not sure but https://github.com/directus/directus/discussions/12855 suggested you have to use logger object .

@nennogabriel said in Directus fail to create an user from Cloudron Open ID:

the new version of Directus on cloudron dos not use LDAP and you cannot use OPENID but CLOUDRON as variable.

what do you mean by this? Why can we not use OPENID?

I could successfully connect to a test postgres database with these environment variables:

DB_HOST=IP
DB_PORT=Port
DB_DATABASE="db_name"
DB_USER="user_name"
DB_PASSWORD="password"

Then I ran
npx directus bootstrap
to initialise the database.

When I run commands like
npx directus count table_name
it provides correct answers indicating that the database connection works.

However, for some reason, the database doesn't show up in my GUI.

I was able to deploy with cloudron my nextjs frontend app fetching my directus backend via API here is the repository with STEP-BY-STEP guide: https://github.com/alexmazaltov/nextjs-app-for-directus-vai-cloudron

@girish said in Issue with very high memory usage:

so it's not related to cloudron end.

not sure about this.

When i create a Directus project on a VPS using docker (docker compose or via Portainer), with almost identical configuration as the Cloudron Directus project, i don't get this issue.

Example: Container memory usage when uploading a 8GB file to Directus, barely goes up by some 200MB, whereas in Cloudron, the memory always gets consumed by the entire size of the file (8GB in this case).

It is only created within the directus app instance. Different apps run isolated from one another on Cloudron. So if I understand you correctly, you are trying to build your own custom app next to directus? If so you need to set the source your own /app/data/env.sh with the export of the env var.

This should be fixed now with latest package. Unfortunately I found that if a previous extension installation failed, the database would contain that info, making it impossible to install the same extension again. So you may have to manually delete records from the database to get over this 😕

There are some further notes in https://docs.directus.io/getting-started/architecture.html#versioning . For them, "Minor — A new feature or meaningful improvement to an existing feature: may or may not be breaking."

I think Cloudron packaging has to follow what upstream does, otherwise, every minor release now becomes a major in Cloudron. Maybe best to turn off automatic updates for Directus and analyze each Cloudron package update?

@shrey said in App status stuck on "Starting...":

ECONNREFUSED

This is normal. When the app is still starting up, it's not responding to health check requests and refusing connection. As long as it becomes 'Running' eventually, all is good.

Seems to work like a charm!

@samsls Thanks for following up with me on this!

I used the Directus CLI with a Token for the admin account to import the data into a "default vanilla installation of Directus". Everything imported without any issues. Afterwards, I deployed the front end using Vercel from a private GitHub repo.

Based on the reply from @girish, I put some additional configuration into the env.sh file and restarted Directus.

export CORS_ENABLED="true" export CORS_ORIGIN="domain1.com,app-name.vercel.app" export CORS_METHODS="GET,POST,PATCH,DELETE,OPTIONS" export CORS_ALLOWED_HEADERS="Content-Type,Authorization" export CORS_EXPOSED_HEADERS="Content-Range" export CORS_CREDENTIALS="true" export CORS_MAX_AGE="18000"

I've placed that into the env.sh as a wide-open test to at least see if I could get it working, but no luck.

I know there are some other options, that you can force some of these settings into your Vercel deployment using the vercel.json file, but haven't gotten to that yet.

There are some open issues that it seems they're looking into based on their GitHub.

CORS issues for client portal in "PROD" like deployment Fetch the data from the server side instead of the client?

Yes seems to work thank you!

Thank you for helping me make it work.

Strange this .mjs thing with them, I'm going to open an issue with them.
