@doodlemania2 it's nice to hear that it can be done, thx for the info. Maybe in the future it will be added as an "out-of-the-box" option, after all it is a fundamental part of Directus.
Stackhero(which is a service similar to Cloudron I believe) has it out of the box, I got Directus running on top of external db easily.
@girish said in Connect to existing database:
@eddowding
Directus has no feature to connect to external databases.
I am confused now 
I am aware that English is not my first language, but unless there is a difference between external and remote database connection, I am sure that Directus can connect to external/remote database.
Website hosted on server A and Directus hosted on server B, with Directus connected to database from server A.
The above is not possible with Cloudron, but it is a feature of Directus.
