Directus Instance Dev

🚀 Automating Directus Setup for Development with Bash

Hey Devs! 👋

I created a script to automate the setup of a Directus instance for development. If you're working with Directus and want to streamline your development workflow, this script might just save you some time!

🎯 Key Features:

• Automatic installation of the latest Directus version.
• Node.js 18.x compatibility check to avoid version mismatch issues.
• SQLite database setup by default, perfect for quick dev environments.
• Admin user creation and environment variable configuration.
• Installs useful dev tools like nodemon and concurrently.
• Offers extension management for Directus, allowing you to easily create and run extensions during development.

🛠 How It Works:

1. Download the script to your local machine.
2. Make it executable:

   chmod +x directus-instance-dev.sh

1. Run the script:

   ./directus-instance-dev.sh

1. Follow the prompts to configure your instance (admin user, project name, port, etc.), and you're all set!

🎉 Why Use It?

This script handles all the repetitive setup tasks so you can focus on building instead of configuring. Whether you're just starting out with Directus or building a more complex project with extensions, it provides a clean, automated solution.

🧩 Customization

You can easily modify the script to:

• Change the database setup.
• Adjust environment variables.
• Pre-install specific Directus extensions.
• Fine-tune the dev scripts.
