Hi.
I’m using a Digtalocean-Droplet for Hosting a directus.io-installation. Just for context, directus is some kind of headless cms, running on node.js. It stores the entered data in a MySQL or PostgreSQL database.
My question is: How can I access the database, where the data ist stored from my installation? Via the console? I need that access, because i need to delete some stuff in that database…
Thanks für your help!

Hi there @leamoser,
It looks like that the Directus One-Click Installation Droplet uses PostgreSQL and not MySQL.
In order to access PostgreSQL via the command line you could run the following command:
- Then switch to the
postgresuser:
sudo su postgres
- Access the
directusdatabase:
psql directus
- To list all available tables run:
\d
- Then you could run your SQL queries as normal.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
I have the same question.
I would like to know how to save the database managed by the CMS Directus. (created with one-click install from DigitalOcean).
Any idea to do this?
