Purpose

WARNING: This stack contains Directus 8. Version 8 is outdated. There is a new version 9. We can't upgrade this stack to 9 because the official documentation of Version 9 is not finished yet. Status: pending - waiting for docs of version 9

Directus is an open-source tool that wraps your database with an API, and provides an intuitive admin app for non-technical users to manage its content. It's what you'd get if you mixed a headless CMS, database client, and WebApp builder.

Properties

Topology

The stack consists of 2 containers:

• cms-directus: the application is running in this container
• std-mysql: the mysqldb for Directus

Configuration

See also the variables which control integration of the stack into the reverse proxy.
For changes to take effect the stack has to be reinstalled.

Initial Configuration

App Access: <hostname>/cms-directus/admin/index.html

Username: admin@example.com

Password: admin

With this login you can create new admin and normal users using the web interface

As an alternative you can use

docker-stack exec cms-directus user 

After the creation of new admin users you should delete the admin@example.com user or at least change its password.

To create a project on a new or foreign database use: 

docker-stack exec cms-directus project <database host> <database port> <database name> <database user> <database password> <super admin token> <project name>

To create the admin user for this new connection use

docker-stack exec cms-directus user
