I have a working Directus CMS environment and would like to include some custom pages in there as well. According to the documentation!, I "can build page modules for custom dashboards, reporting, point-of-sale systems, or anything else".

The CMS is downloaded from directus, installed in localhost and then moved with FTP to the server as my client doesn't have terminal access allowed.

I already tried the boilerplate from https://github.com/directus/extension-toolkit, created a vue page with it, ran npm to transpile it, but now I don't know where to put it. If I put it to public > extensions > custom > pages (I put here the whole created folder), it's not shown anywhere and I can't really find any tutorial or help on how to do it. Not even in the docs.

You have to copy only the dist subdirectory of the extension to your server.

Example:

directus-extensions create page orders
directus-extensions build
rsync ./dist/ root@example.com:/var/www/directus/public/extensions/custom/pages/orders/

You should now see your page extension listed in the sidebar when you log in to your Directus app (provided your user role is configured to display extensions in the sidebar).
