How to Set Up a Ghost Installation Ghost is a brand-new CMS that is targeted at writers and bloggers. It is a unique CMS with several features that make it stand out from other CMS options like WordPress. Ghost is easy to install and configure in production. In this article, we'll use ghostCLI, a command-line tool that can quickly and efficiently set up and deploy Ghost. Installing Ghost Ghost is an open-source blog publishing platform that provides a beautiful interface to create and publish content. It was developed following an extremely successful crowdfunding campaign as an unprofitable project, and is now available with no limitations on licensing. It is utilized by many developers in the world, and it has a large support community. It is a speedy light, responsive, and lightweight CMS that works on all types of devices. Follow the steps below to install Ghost To install Ghost, log into your droplet through SSH and change the prompt of your user to # (it will only show on your screen). This will inform your terminal where it is installing the software. Use the command node-v to check if it has been installed correctly. After a short time, Ghost will prompt you to enter the URL of your blog. It's a good idea to do this now, rather than after you've set up your domain and made your blog public. This gives you the opportunity to test your blog and correct any issues before putting it public. Press enter to begin the installation process. The installation process will take a couple of minutes. If asked for your hostname use 127.0.0.1. (Using the default will cause Ghost to use IPv6 addresses, which could result in an ECONNREFUSED later). Answer Y when asked if you wish to install Systemd. This will enable Nginx to host your Ghost blog. It will redirect requests from port 80 to port 2368 which is the port Ghost runs on. This will make it easier for visitors to connect to your blog without adding the 2368 at the end. It will also create the proper HTTP headers so that you can view your visitors' IP addresses in Ghost logs. You will have to add Ghost as a database user. Create a user called ghostuser with a suitable name and a password that is secure, then add it to the sudoers group so that it can run sudo commands. After doing this, su – ghostuser to start a login shell as the user named ghostuser. Installing Nginx Nginx is a web server that can be used to serve static content, handle requests as a reverse proxy, and connect to FastCGI applications. It is a lighter alternative to Apache that can offer improved performance and a smaller footprint in memory. The configuration files for Nginx can be loaded again without the need to shut down and restart. This is done by sending an alert to the master process that is then able to check the syntax and makes any changes that are required. It will also send an email to the old worker processes, asking them to not accept any new connections and to continue taking care of existing connections. To create a configuration file for Nginx, open the “/etc/nginx/sites-available/” directory and then create a symbolic link to the file you want to use in the “/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/” directory. The symbolic links, also known as symlinks will be used to track which of the Nginx server blocks are enabled. This will allow your Nginx server to respond to requests for your domain as well as the default site. The syntax of nginx is extremely flexible. It can be configured to do a variety of things, like permitting SSL connections or setting reverse proxy servers, among other things. See the official Nginx Documentation for more details. Nginx like Apache utilizes an event-driven asynchronous connection handling algorithm instead of spawning new processes for each request. This makes it more efficient for websites that receive a lot of traffic. It is possible to configure it to store static pages on your site. This can increase the speed of your website. Nginx can be utilized as a reverse proxy that routes client (e.g. requests from web browsers) to be directed to other servers by using Nginx. This can be beneficial for load balancing and speeding up websites. It also offers additional security. You can confirm that Nginx is accepting HTTP requests by using a tool like nginxstat or looking at the logs under the “/var/log/nginxdirectory” on your Ubuntu computer. This will reveal any errors that might be being observed. You can also start and stop Nginx by using the systemctl command. Enter the following command to accomplish this: Configuring Ghost Once you've setup Ghost and you've set it up, you can start using it to publish your blog. You can also modify the look and feel of your site with themes. Ghost offers a wide selection of themes, from the simple to the complicated. Some themes are free, while others aren't. No matter which theme you choose, bear in mind that the main function is to serve as a blogging platform. It's not made to handle more complex pages such as landing pages and e-commerce websites. You can configure Ghost to use an SMTP email service for sending messages and newsletters. This is important to ensure that your followers receive emails regularly and don't miss posts from you. Fortunately, there are several trustworthy SMTP services that you can utilize with Ghost. It is important to keep in mind that you'll need a different login and password to access SMTP in comparison to your Ghost account. You should write down or save your SMTP information in a safe location. A custom configuration file lets you to override Ghost's default behavior and customize it to your specific needs. You can make use of the ghost-cli command to create an individual configuration file. There are some configuration options that are mandatory by default, as well as many other optional ones. You can include a Redis adapter for caching to Ghost to let it store data in the memory instead of in the database. This can reduce response times by avoiding the need to fetch data from a database each time a new page is rendered. This is especially beneficial for websites with complicated templates and large traffic sites that require a lot of helpers. ghost installation -cli -cache adapter adapter> —configure_cache( adapter>) will configure the cache adapter and set the size of the cache. You can also edit the name of the cache, which appears in the admin panel. It is crucial to keep your Ghost installation up-to-date to ensure that it runs effectively and is safe. The Ghost community releases new versions of the software frequently. On the official website you can find out how to upgrade the software. If you're upgrading to a new version, make sure you backup your data and files first. Beginning Ghost After the setup phase following the Setup phase, the Ghost will begin its Hunting phase. During this phase the Ghost will be visible to all players and begin to move around the map, killing anyone it encounters. This is the most dangerous part of the game and can be avoided by hiding in rooms, closets or behind furniture. The Ghost will only kill players that are within its range of view It is therefore essential to remain hidden at all times. In the DigitalOcean marketplace, click the “Droplet” option and choose the plan you want to begin with (the lowest priced plan is good for the moment). After creating the droplet, note down its public IP address. You will need this later on when you connect via SSH. Once you have your server configured, you can begin to build the blog pages and posts for your Ghost blog. You can choose from a range of themes that are free as well as premium themes. The platform also supports a range of integrations such as Google Analytics, Zapier, MailChimp, and more. It makes use of Markdown instead of visual WYSIWYG which allows you to concentrate on writing instead of designing. This makes it a great choice for blogs, magazines and portfolio sites.
