Is the 'directus' command in the Docker image officially supported?

Help
1

An AI bot suggested the directus command to get the current schema and apply it on a different server using these commands:

docker compose exec directus npx directus schema snapshot /directus/schema.yaml
docker compose exec directus npx directus schema apply /directus/schema.yaml

In the documentation I can’t find any reference to this command. But I did find an archived GitHub repo with a Directus CLI at GitHub - directus/cli: Directus Client CLI · GitHub

My question: is this command officially supported? I think we could use it to save and update server configurations between developers and test/production servers.

The cli is technically still supported, however, this functionality was added to the REST APIs a couple of years ago: Schema | Directus Docs

Recommend using the API’s.

The schema endpoint should indeed produce the same result as the CLI does.

Nice to know perhaps (hence my reply), instead of using npx directus .. from inside the official container you can also do node cli.js <blabla>. I think that should be a bit more efficient then the npx command.
