Hello there,

I am hosting an instance of Directus CMS on App Platform that will serve as a GUI for my web clients to edit the content of their sites.

I plan to deploy the static sites on App Platform as well, but am confused and would appreciate if someone can clarify the pricing structure.

If I understand correctly, the first three static sites deployed are free, but after that it costs... $3 a month for each? Isn't that a bit expensive when they're so many other options that are nearly free for static sites?

Would it be possible to deploy the static sites in the same app as my Directus instance? And would those static sites be billed under the resources used for that specific app?

Or, should I just use Coolify to manage deployments of the static sites on a Droplet?

I would love to learn what people have to say about this.

Thank you!

Hello,

I am running into a wall right now and could use some help! This might be a dumb question, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to add my CA cert to my environment variables.

What I'm doing is hosting a Directus instance on Digital Ocean App Platform with a managed Postgres database and this requires me to include a DB_SSL__CA environment variable. I see where the CA certificate is for my managed database, I see how to download it, I see the documents that say to include the file path... but I don't understand how to include the file path? When hosting a Directus instance I'm not attaching any files to the project except a GitHub repository that contains a Docker file.

Could a kind soul please explain to me how I'm supposed to do this? It's mandatory for hosting a Directus instance and of course I want ssl mode to be required.

Thank you SO MUCH.

Hello, I apologize if this is a dumb question. I'm not sure exactly how to Google this and I can't find a straightforward answer in the docs.

I understand that you can: 1) Invite users to your Directus instance and 2) modify Roles and Permissions to give said user custom roles, access and privileges to add/update/read/delete content.

My question is: Let's say that I create a basic five page portfolio website for a client using Directus as a CMS and I successfully deploy this website online. For further context let's say that I'm self hosting this website on a VPN.

If I invite the client via the Data Studio GUI to be a user, are they given a special URL where they can access the Data Studio in the browser? Or do they have to self host the Directus instance on their computer? (I'm hoping this isn't the case). And how would I configure or make a custom URL for them to access the Data Studio?

If the website hasn't been deployed yet, and the Directus instance is running on Docker on my local machine, would the client still be able to access the Data Studio associated with their website to update/otherwise edit content?

I very much appreciate any insight into this as I'm new to using this tool, but want to learn.

Thanks!
