Ghost is an open source publishing platform which is beautifully designed, easy to use, and free for everyone. Start a blog with Ghost today and learn to blog! Ghost is a lightning-fast Node.js application with an Ember.js admin client and Handlebars.js themes.

This appliance includes all the standard features in TurnKey Core, and on top of that:

• Ghost configurations:

  • Ghost installed from upstream source code to /opt/ghost

    Security note: Updates to Ghost may require supervision so they ARE NOT configured to install automatically. See below for updating Ghost.

  • Includes Nginx (webserver); pre-configured to proxy Ghost.

• SSL support out of the box.

• Postfix MTA (bound to localhost) to allow sending of email (e.g., password recovery).

• Webmin module for configuring Postfix.

Note: Check the Ghost docs to ensure that upgrading your current version to the latest is supported. Always ensure that you have a tested backup before proceeding with software updates.

Update NodeJS (recommended and perhaps required; example updating to latest NodeJS v16.x - to check current version run 'node -v'):

n 16

Or, updating to latest NodeJS LTS (double check that Ghost supports it first):

n lts

Update Ghost CLI (to latest; recommended, but likely not required):

npm install -g ghost-cli@latest

Then update ghost itself. Become ghost_user and update:

su - ghost_user
ghost update

Once finished, exit back to the root user:

exit

Note: ghost-cli may ask for your sudo password, by default the "ghost_user" sudo password is the same password you set for the Ghost UI admin at firstboot.

Ghost does not have a security only newsletter so we recommend that you subcribe to the Ghost Blog to keep up to date.

• Webmin, SSH, MySQL, Adminer: username root
• Ghost: username [email set at firstboot]
