What is Directus?

Directus is a content management framework that wraps a custom SQL database with an API and an admin interface. The version Softaculous installs is 8.8.1, the legacy PHP-based release, which the project has archived and marked end-of-life, discouraging its use. The current Directus is a separate product available from the official project.

How to install Directus on Hostripples: choose a plan, open Softaculous, Directus is live

Project status: Softaculous lists Directus 8.8.1 from August 2020, which corresponds to the legacy PHP-based Directus 8. That version's repository was archived on 6 January 2023 and is marked end-of-life; the current Directus is a separate, actively developed product. We list it because it is still available in the Softaculous installer; consider an actively maintained alternative for new projects.

Licence: GPL-3.0 (legacy v8 repository) · Built with: PHP (legacy v8) + SQL database · Official site: github.com/directus/directus

Common uses

  • Maintaining an existing Directus 8 install
  • Headless content for custom apps (legacy)
  • Managing content in an existing SQL database

PHP and database requirements for the legacy version were not confirmed from sources we could read. The current Directus is a Node.js application and is not what this one-click package installs, so check which version you need.

Why host Directus with Hostripples

  • One-click Directus install from Softaculous inside cPanel, with no manual upload or database setup
  • All-NVMe storage and LiteSpeed Enterprise with LSCache for quick page loads
  • Selectable PHP versions per site and CloudLinux account isolation with CageFS
  • Free SSL, daily JetBackup backups and Imunify360 malware protection
  • Free migration of an existing Directus site, and 24×7 support in English, Hindi and Marathi

Directus Hosting: Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

No. Softaculous lists version 8.8.1 from August 2020, and the Directus 8 repository was archived in January 2023 and marked end-of-life. The project directs users to the current Directus, which is a separate product.
We could not confirm PHP or database requirements for the legacy version from sources we read, so none are listed. The current Directus is a different, Node.js-based product, so its requirements differ.
Open cPanel, launch the Softaculous one-click installer, choose Directus, set your domain and admin details, and install. It usually takes a few clicks, but note the package is the legacy v8 release.
The project itself calls this version end-of-life and highly discouraged, so it does not receive fixes. For a new headless project, look at the current Directus or a maintained alternative rather than the archived 8.x line.
Yes. Directus is open-source software released under the GPL-3.0 (legacy v8 repository) licence, so there are no software fees — you only pay for your Hostripples hosting plan.
Yes. Every Hostripples cPanel NVMe plan includes the full Softaculous library, so on one account you can run Directus alongside other apps in its category (Portal / CMS), such as Joomla and Open Real Estate, plus hundreds of other applications, subject to your plan's resources. You can add each app on its own domain or subdomain and upgrade to a larger plan at any time.
Check the requirements listed above against the plan resources. Every plan can be upgraded at any time, so you can start small and grow.
Yes. We migrate your site for free with all hosting plans.
