    I can't apply my scheme to directus:

    root@...:/app/data# npx directus schema apply snapshot.yaml 
    npm ERR! code EROFS
    npm ERR! syscall open
    npm ERR! path /root/.npm/_cacache/tmp/e889ceb7

        @devtron on Cloudron all apps run in a read-only filesystem, causing this issue. However for things which need to be writeable, we link them into to the read/write section.
        What is the use-case, requiring you to move the snapshot.yaml ?

          @nebulon The use-case is to import my schema (snapshot.yaml) from my local development into the prod environment (cloudron app instance). And vice versa.
          In fact, I need to import into the app only once, because I already created my schema locally. It would be tedious to define everything in the app again.

            I think that was a feature in version 8 or lower but is really interesting if it's still supported, can post the link to the documentation.

              https://docs.directus.io/reference/cli/#snapshot-the-data-model

              I am also using Directus 9 and used it during their rc-phase

                Nice, the old version has a dedicated page on it, and I didn't find it on the new documentation.

                  ah I see, if this is a one-time task, you could also put the app in debug mode, which makes the filesystems temporarily read/write (but not persistent across restarts)

                    @nebulon I put the app in recovery/debug mode. It became writable but got another issue:

                    "DB_CLIENT" Environment Variable is missing.
                    

                    fb424e83-ce86-4db7-8949-b1a2536202e9-image.png

                    I've tried to add the changes in the env file in app/data. It didn't work. After that I tried to start it normally and got a new error with redis:

                    ec91e9ce-c7d0-4d33-8295-10a18b9d28af-image.png

                    😅

                      @devtron the DB_CLIENT is set and configured in the /app/pkg/start.sh which also sets up other required settings. So while having the app in debug mode, you either have to run relevant pre-setup commands required for npx directus schema apply or put that line at the correct place in /app/pkg/start.sh and run that whole script.

                      For redis, you can check the services view in your dashboard and manually start it from there first.
