Looking for Directus Dev - Dashboard setup

TITOLO:
[Directus + JSON export] Quick beta setup — 8 days, $300 fixed

CORPO:

Hi everyone,

Looking for a Directus dev for a beta setup on an existing Hetzner server.

WHAT THIS PROJECT IS NOT

  • Not a custom backend build — Directus handles the schema and admin
  • Not a frontend custom UI — standard Directus interface is fine
  • Not a complex data model — single collection, no advanced relationships
  • Not a Python codebase to touch — the existing voice pipeline stays untouched
  • Not a complex integration — your script writes JSON files to disk, that’s the contact point
  • Not an exotic setup — standard Directus on Docker, standard SSL, standard scheduling

WHAT THE WORK IS

  • Directus on Docker (dedicated container, isolated from other services on the host)
  • “clients” collection with 12 fields: 8 simple data fields (string, dropdown, boolean) and 4 long-text containers for content I’ll write myself
  • Conditional field visibility based on business_type dropdown
  • Italian UI labels
  • Export script (Python or Bash, your call) writing JSON files in a format I’ll provide as reference
  • Cron or Directus Flow for scheduling
  • Subdomain + Let’s Encrypt SSL
  • Brief markdown docs

BUDGET & TIMELINE

$300 fixed-price, 8 days from contract start. Two informal check-ins (Day 3 and Day 6, screenshot or short video).

Payment via Upwork escrow once we agree.

TO APPLY

Reply with:

  1. Share 1-2 Directus projects you’ve worked on (links, screenshots, or commits — whichever is easiest)
  2. How would you structure the export script to handle the case where the consumer process reads a file while you’re rewriting it? (one short paragraph)
  3. How would you handle Directus updates without breaking the running setup on the host? (one short paragraph)

Looking forward to hearing from someone who enjoys clean Directus setups.

Giorgio
