DB_CLIENT=mssql
DB_HOST=your-mssql-host
DB_PORT=1433
DB_DATABASE=your-database-name
DB_USER=your-username
DB_PASSWORD=your-password
DB_SSL=false

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.

I'm interested in conecting to an existing mysql database inside of cloudron. Is this feasable?

@andreasdueren do you mean https://docs.cloudron.io/guides/connect-mysql/ ? But in general, you can always grab the env variables (env | grep MYSQL_ ) in one app and use it in another .

@joseph Yes I know how to get the credentials but I'm curious if anyone has any experience connecting directus with a different database. My quick tests failed so far unfortunately.
