How to get PostgreSQL for Directus?

[igaudette]

Hi,

I install Directus in Cloudron to create custom apps but I need to connect a database. I looked at Cloudron apps marketplace but I don't see any database such as MySQL, MangoDB or PostgreSQL, so how I can have a database for Directus?

By doing a search online I have found the PostgreSQL addon but this seems to be only a way to connect to the app's database, so it's not what I need.

I also found this https://registry.hub.docker.com/r/cloudron/postgresql but I have no idea what it's purpose.

So my question is, how to deploy PostgreSQL inside Cloudron? Thanks!

Wait... I think when you install Directus with Cloudron, it comes automatically with PostgreSQL. Does Cloudron team can confirm?

Yes the directus app comes with a pre-setup postgres instance already.

okay thanks!

Maybe this was not clear from the start, on Cloudron all apps are pre-setup with databases already. The databases are also managed by the platform instead of the apps to allow proper backup points amongst other things.
