Upcoming v9 release
-
Directus 9 is moving away from PHP and is being rewritten in nodejs. Apparently, there is no automatic migration path as well. Read more https://directus.io/articles/introducing-directus-9/ .
What we will do is to create a separate Directus 9 app once the upstream stable release is out.

Interestingly that makes them even more direct competitors to Strapi, who are also node based.

Wow, that feature list looks serious!
Big fan of what they've already done but this looks like market-leading stuff for anyone that's ever had to design database structures.
Highly recommend watching and getting involved for all those interested, at its very least it's a database design tool that anyone can use to at-least describe what they need a system to do to developers — and the describing part is often half the work, as describe & build in one process really does sharpen the mind for what makes sense.

@marcusquinn Been using it for a number of systems since we got 8 on CR. It's fantastic. Hopefully there's a way to migrate the databases at least!
-
I did a quick an dirty custom version for my self. Most like done wrong since it's my first time doing a custom app, but feel free to use it to do it correctly or just play around.
-
I'm holding out until v9 to start using it. Exciting!
-
@atrilahiji It seems you're safe to do all you might need with v8 and it be transportable, just, as they say, permissions setups would need re-doing.
-
@girish any news on when v9 is coming to cloudron?
-
@chris I think they are still in beta - https://github.com/directus/directus/releases

@girish that's correct - still in RC.
