@atridad I see elsewhere you mentioned a Directus9 package 0.6 with the cloudron base image 3, but I couldn't find it in your gitlab, is there a second place where you store images?

Also, in the email invite link to new users, the url of the app is missing. (so it's http://admin/accept-invite?token=random_token)

On the container build from your repo, the nove version is too old: 12.16.2 is used but at least 12.20 is required.

How can we update node?

You don't need any of the paid add-ons, although the advanced pack is nice if you want to automate later but it's all fully functional, unrestricted, and well worth learning.

But I have only used their web-to-lead capture, which doesn't seem suitable, even with adding custom fields. I'm thinking that I would need to create a new Entity, and I have not yet checked how their API supports accessing a custom entity. Have you worked with their API much ?

I'm currently committed to Hugo as static site engine.
But will certainly consider how to use Directus with it later.
And learn about gatsby/gridsome - they seem popular.

But for now a more pressing project.
Build front-end website which allows users to buy "tickets" for an event, capturing their data and their choice of event selections, storing the choices and user info in Directus table for later processing.

This could all be done with a regular form or poll or survey app, but I want the data stored in a way it can be checked, assessed and acted on, not just get a form response by traditional email, which would then loading in a database.

I hope this is a suitable use case for Directus, even though it's not the regular headless CMS use case.

I normally launch my Cloudron inside of a WebCatalog instance, and for some strange reason I don't understand, the admin page does not load in a Webcatalog browser window.
But in a normal browser window (and in a dedicated Webcatalog instance) it does load fine.

So custom app installed and working. Thanks so much @atrilahiji !

Now I have to build the front-end for the Directus9 back-end.
And some more new tech to learn unless I fall back on PHP use of API.
But hey, life's for learning.

• install node/npm : I used brew install node
• install Cloudron CLI : easy from cloudron instructions
• install Docker : brew didn't work so used DockerDesktop for Mac
• create docker account
• start Docker Desktop and log in
• create folder, cd into it and downloaded to it your repository https://git.atrilahiji.dev/atrilahiji/cloudron-directus9-app
• cloudron build seemed to work (visible in DockerDesktop) but failed to push image : no idea why, said not logged in but I was
• docker build worked (as per cloudron instructions)
• docker pushed worked (as per cloudron instructions)
• cloudron install worked (as instructions)

So process is easy, once I understood what I needed to do.

Only problem is the installed Directus9 fails to load.
Cloudron says it is running, but Admin page sits with spinning circle, as does the app window.
But I didn't check your repository for any config changes I needed to make.
So will do that now and see if I can get it working.
At least I know now how to build and install a custom app.

Cloudron is so fantastic, really helped me with app installs and self-hosting.
It just got more fantastic-er !
(yeah, yeah, I know, butchering English is my speciality).

• install CLI locally (I'm on Mac)
• use CLI to install a packaged app (like your Directus9) to hosted cloudron (my Cloudron is a Linode VPS)

My Cloudron is production and has live systems like EspoCRM and LAMP websites. So very nervous of breaking it.
I guess I can test it out on a separate free-tier Cloudron before installing to production Cloudron.

Time to get brave !

Also I guess they have a guide here: https://docs.cloudron.io/custom-apps/tutorial/
