My quick tests failed so far unfortunately.

But in general, you can always grab the env variables (env | grep MYSQL_ ) in one app and use it in another .

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.
