How to Set Up a Ghost Installation

Ghost is a brand-new CMS that specifically targets bloggers and content writers. It has some unique features that set it apart from other CMS solutions such as WordPress.

Ghost is easy to install and configure for production. In this article we will use ghost-CLI, an application for command line to install and configure Ghost quickly and quickly.

Installing Ghost

Ghost is an open-source blogging platform that gives you an elegant interface for publishing and creating content. It was developed as a non-profit initiative following an appeal for crowdfunding and is free of limitations on licensing. It is utilized by many developers around the world and has a huge support community. It is a fast and lightweight CMS that is compatible with all types of devices.

To install Ghost to install Ghost, follow the steps below: First, sign into your droplet via SSH and change the prompt for your user to # (it should be the only thing that appears on your screen). This will instruct the terminal on where to install the packages. Use the command node-v to check if it has been installed correctly.

After a short time, Ghost will ask you to enter your blog's URL. This is a better option rather than waiting until you've set up your domain and published your blog. This will give you the opportunity to test your blog and fix any errors before making it public.

Press Enter to start the installation. The installation process will take a few moments. When asked for your hostname, use 127.0.0.1. (Using the default will make it impossible for Ghost to use IPv6 addresses and could cause an ECONNREFUSED later). If asked if you want to install Systemd then answer with Y.

This will set up Nginx to serve your Ghost blog. It will redirect requests from port 80 to port 2368, which is the port that Ghost runs on. This makes it easier for visitors to access your blog without adding the :2368 at the end. It will also create the proper HTTP headers so that you can see the IP addresses of your visitors in Ghost logs.

You'll also need to add a database user to Ghost. Create a user called ghostuser, with a name that is appropriate and a secure password, then add it to the sudoers group so that it can run sudo commands. After this, type su - ghostuser to begin an account as the user named ghostuser.

Nginx can be used as a webserver that serves static content. It can also be used as a reverse proxy and to connect to FastCGI applications. It is a less heavy alternative to Apache and can provide greater performance and a smaller footprint of memory.

Nginx can be configured to load its configuration files without having to shut down and re-start. This is accomplished by sending a signal to the master process which will check the syntax of the new configuration file and then applies any modifications. It will also send an email to the older worker processes informing them to cease accepting new connections and to continue servicing existing ones.

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, or symlinks will be used to track which of the Nginx server blocks are enabled. This will allow your nginx server to respond to requests from your domain as well as your default site.

The nginx syntax is very flexible. You can configure a variety of things, such as allowing SSL connections or setting reverse proxy servers, among others. Visit the official Nginx Documentation for more details.

In contrast to Apache, Nginx uses an event-driven, synchronous connection handling algorithm rather than spawning an entirely new process for every request. This makes it more efficient on sites with high traffic. It can also be configured to cache static content across your website, which can further improve performance.

Nginx can be utilized as a reverse proxy that routes client (e.g. web browser) requests to other servers. This can be useful in balancing load and speeding up websites. It also offers additional security.

Once the Nginx server is running you can confirm that it is able to accept HTTP requests by using a tool like nginx's stat or by looking through the logs within the "/var/log/nginx/" directory on your Ubuntu machine. This will show you any errors that could be happening.

You can also use the systemctl command in order to start and stop Nginx. Enter the following command to accomplish this:

You can add an Redis cache adapter that allows Ghost to keep data in memory rather than in the database. This can speed up response times by removing the need to retrieve data from the database each time the page renders. This is especially useful for websites with complicated templates and high traffic sites that require a lot of helpers.

The command ghost installations-cli cache-adapter adapter> --configure_cache( adapter>) will configure the cache adapter and determine the cache size. You can also modify the name of the cache, which is displayed in the admin panel.
