Installing Ghost Ghost is an open-source blog publishing platform that gives you a a beautiful interface to create and publish content. It was created as a non-profit initiative following a crowdfunding campaign and is accessible without licensing restrictions. It is used by a variety of developers in the world and has a large support community. It is a speedy light, responsive, and lightweight CMS that works well on all kinds of devices. To install Ghost Follow the steps below: First, sign into your droplet using SSH and change the prompt of your user to # (it should be the only thing on your screen). This will tell your terminal that it is installing the packages. Use the command node-v to confirm that it was installed correctly. After a few seconds, Ghost will ask you to enter your blog's URL. This is a better option instead of waiting until you've set up your domain and published your site. This will give you a chance to test out your blog and fix any mistakes before making it public. Then, audi rs6 ghost installer enter to begin the installation process. It can take a few minutes to complete. When asked for your hostname use 127.0.0.1 (using the default will cause Ghost to use an IPv6 address, which could lead to ECONNREFUSED error later on). When asked if you wish to set up Systemd, answer y. This will configure Nginx to serve your Ghost blog. It redirects requests from port 80 to port 2368 which is the port that Ghost runs on. This will allow visitors to connect to your blog without adding the 2368 at the end. It will also set the appropriate HTTP headers so that you can view the IP addresses of your visitors in Ghost logs. You'll also have to create a database user to Ghost. Create a user called ghostuser, with a name that is appropriate and a secure password and then add it the sudoers group to ensure that it can execute sudo commands. Su – ghostuser will launch a login shell for the user named ghostuser. Configuring Nginx Nginx is a web server that can be used to serve static content and handle requests as a reverse proxy and connect with FastCGI applications. It is a more lightweight alternative to Apache that can offer better performance and lower memory footprint. Nginx can be configured to load its configuration files without having to shut down and restart. This is done by sending an alert to the master process, which then checks the syntax and makes any changes that are required. It will also send an email to the older 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 handle requests for your domain as well as the default site. The nginx syntax is very flexible. You can set up a wide range of things, like allowing SSL connections or setting up reverse proxy servers, among others. Check out the official Nginx Documentation for more details. Nginx like Apache, uses an event-driven Asynchronous Connection Handling algorithm instead of creating new processes for each request. This makes it more efficient for sites that have a lot of traffic. It can be set to store static pages on your website. This can boost performance. Nginx is a good choice to use as a reverse proxy, which routes client (e.g. web browser) requests to other servers. This can be beneficial for load balancing, speeding up websites, and also providing additional security. You can check if Nginx is accepting HTTP requests using a tool like nginxstat, or by looking at the logs under the “/var/log/nginxdirectory on your Ubuntu computer. This will reveal any errors that might be happening. You can also start and stop Nginx by using the systemctl command. Enter the following command to accomplish this: Configuring Ghost Once Ghost is installed, you can begin using it to create blogs. Themes let you personalize the look and style of your site. Ghost has a wide range of themes, from simple to the more complex. Some are free, while others are paid. Whatever theme you select, it's important to keep in mind that Ghost is a basic blogging platform, and not suited for more complex pages like landing pages or e-commerce websites. You can configure Ghost to use an SMTP email service for sending newsletters and notifications. This is crucial to ensure that your customers receive email from you and don't get any. Fortunately, there are several trustworthy SMTP services that you can utilize with Ghost. It is important to remember that you'll require a different login and password to use SMTP as opposed to your Ghost account. You should write down or save your SMTP details in a secure location. A custom configuration file allows you to override Ghost's default behavior and tailor it to your particular requirements. You can create your own custom configuration file using the ghost-cli command. There are a few settings that are mandatory by default, and many additional ones. You can add an Redis caching adapter to Ghost to let it store data in memory instead of the database. This can speed up response times by removing the need to retrieve data from the database every time the page is rendered. This is especially beneficial for sites with complex templates and high traffic sites that require a lot of helpers. The command ghost-cli cache-adapter adapter> —configure_cache( adapter>) will configure the cache adapter and determine the cache size. You can also edit the name of the cache that appears in the admin panel. Ghost must be kept up-to-date in order to function properly and remain secure. Ghost releases new versions of its software frequently. You can find information about how to upgrade the application on the official website. If you're upgrading to a new version, make sure to backup your files and data first. Starting Ghost After the Setup phase is over and the Ghost will begin its Hunting phase.

In the DigitalOcean marketplace, select the “Droplet” option and choose the plan you want to begin with (the most affordable one is sufficient for the moment). Note the public IP address of the droplet after it is created. This is the IP address you'll require to connect to via SSH. Once you've got your server setup and you are able to create the blog pages and posts for your Ghost blog. You can choose from a variety of free themes as in addition to premium themes.
