It is a unique CMS with features that set it apart from other CMS solutions, such as WordPress. Ghost is simple to install and configure for production. In this article, we'll use ghostCLI, a command-line tool to quickly and easily install and configure Ghost. Installing Ghost Ghost is an open-source blogging platform that offers an attractive interface for publishing and creating content. It was created following a successful crowdfunding campaign as an unprofitable project, and is now available without any limitations on licensing. It is used by many developers around the world, and it has a large support community. It is a lightweight, responsive CMS that is compatible with all devices.

After a few seconds, Ghost will ask you to enter your blog's URL. It is a good idea to start this process now, rather than after you have configured your domain and made your site public. This gives you the opportunity to test your blog and fix any mistakes before making it public. Press Enter to begin the installation. It could take a couple of 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 result in an ECONNREFUSED error later on). If asked if you want to install Systemd then answer by saying. This will set up Nginx to serve your Ghost blog. It will route requests from port 80 to the port Ghost is running on, and it will add a layer of indirection for your visitors so they don't have to add :2368 to the end of the address. It will also set up the appropriate HTTP headers, so you'll be able see your visitors' actual IP addresses in your Ghost logs. You'll also have to create an account in the database for Ghost. Create a user called ghostuser, with a name that is appropriate and a password that is secure and then add it the sudoers group so that it is able to execute sudo commands. After doing this, su – ghostuser to begin an account as the ghostuser user. Setting up Nginx Nginx is an internet server that can be used to serve static content and handle requests as a reverse proxy and connect with FastCGI applications. It is a lighter alternative to Apache, which can offer more performance and a smaller footprint of memory. Nginx can be set to reload its configuration files without having to shut down and restart. This is done by sending a signal to the master process which examines the syntax of the new configuration file and applies any changes. It will also send an alert to older worker processes, asking them to stop accepting new connections, and to continue to service 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 symlinks are used to monitor the Nginx blocks that are enabled. This will enable your Nginx server to respond to requests for your domain and the default site. The syntax for configuration of nginx is very flexible and you can set up a variety of things, such as allowing SSL connections as well as setting up reverse proxies and much more. Check out the official Nginx Documentation for more details. Unlike Apache, Nginx uses an Asynchronous event-driven connection handling system rather than spawning the process from scratch for each request. This makes it more efficient, particularly for websites that experience large amounts of traffic. It is possible to configure it to cache static pages on your website. This can improve performance. Nginx is reverse proxy that can be used to redirect client (e.g. requests from browsers to be routed to other servers using Nginx. This can be useful for load balancing and speeding up websites. It also offers security. Once the Nginx server is up and running, you can verify that it is able to accept HTTP requests by using a tool like nginx's stat or by looking at the logs in the “/var/log/nginx/” directory on your Ubuntu machine. This will reveal any errors that might be occurring. You can also start and stop Nginx by using the systemctl command.

You can create your own custom configuration file using the ghost-cli command. There are some settings that are mandatory by default, as well as many other optional ones. You can also add an Redis cache adapter to allow Ghost to store data in memory, rather than in the database. This can reduce response times by avoiding the need to pull data from the database every time the page is refreshed. This is especially useful for websites with complex templates and large demand for helpers. The command ghost-cli cache-adapter adapter> —configure_cache( The cache adapter will be configured and the cache size set. You can also alter the name of the cache, which is displayed in the admin panel. Ghost is required to be updated to function properly and remain safe.
