+# Testing the Schema Sync Extension
+
+This folder contains Docker configuration files for testing the `directus-extension-schema-sync` plugin locally.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+1. Build and start the container:
+   ```bash
+   cd test
+   docker-compose up --build
+   ```
+
+2. After the container starts, install the extension's database columns:
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose exec directus npx directus schema-sync install --force
+   ```
+
+3. Access Directus at `http://localhost:8055`
+   - Email: `[email protected]`
+   - Password: `admin`
+
+## Configuration
+
+The `schema-sync` directory will be created in the project root and mounted as a volume. You can edit config files locally and they'll be available in the container.
+
+Environment variables can be set in a `.env` file in the `test` directory or passed directly to `docker-compose`:
+
+```bash
+SCHEMA_SYNC=BOTH docker-compose up
+```
+
+## Using PostgreSQL
+
+To use PostgreSQL instead of SQLite:
+
+1. Uncomment the `postgres` service in `docker-compose.yml`
+2. Update the environment variables:
+   ```bash
+   DB_CLIENT=pg
+   DB_HOST=postgres
+   DB_PORT=5432
+   DB_DATABASE=directus
+   DB_USER=directus
+   DB_PASSWORD=directus
+   ```
+
+## Notes
+
+- The Dockerfile builds the extension from the local source code
+- Database and uploads are persisted in Docker volumes
+- The extension is automatically loaded when Directus starts
