    Been playing with Directus this weekend. It looks quite polished. The main challenge I see right now would be using it against a non-provided DB, which may not be an issue, but something to think about.
    Will keep at it!

    @doodlemania2 I think the way to do it would be take an default Directus instance. Export SQL from another App and Import to the Directus DB as I don't think other Cloudron DBs are available outside of their container?

    Then as you navigate, it recognises and work with whatever tables there are in the DB. The Directus User, Permissions, Audit Trail tables remain separate.

    Personally, I think it would be interesting to take the SQL from another interesting FOSS App that has a dated interface, like GNU Cash or Front Accounting to give it a modern framework.

      I took the Baserow demo for a spin. It's very basic as of today. πŸ€”

        @yusf worth further packaging as is or hold off until their road-map is complete and or 1.0?

          @plusone-nick I don’t see the point of packaging it in the current state, no. Let’s see which one of Baserow, Seatable or other wins the feature race.

            Seatable is very unstable atm. Hoping directus is better.

              @doodlemania2 I took Directus for a spin. It's a completely different type of tool, it has very little in common with what Airtable/Notion/Baserow/Seatable does.

                @yusf yeah, it's more a headless crm as opposed to a shiny simple grid, but they sort of fall into the same category. Definitely still need an airtable alternative!

                          @Staff by the sounds of it this should perhaps be marked as a WIP?

                                @ctrl I guess the idea here is that early adopters help test first, find any issues and give feedback to confirm when ready for general release.

                                          @bram Baserow looks really promising! I just took it for a spin using Cloudron. I am would like to connect to the postgres database, but I really can't seem to find it. When I connect to the app by the terminal, there is no Postgres process running. Similarly, in the supervisor file I see no mention of postgres. Yet in all evidence, baserow is running smoothly so surely the database is running somewhere, I just can't seem to find where. Some help would be greatly appreciated.
