The Often Unknown Benefits Of Ghost Installation
How to Set Up a Ghost Installation

Ghost is a CMS designed specifically for content creators and bloggers. It is a unique CMS with several features that help it stand out from other CMS solutions like WordPress.

Ghost is easy to install and configure for production. In this article, we'll employ ghostCLI, a command line tool that can quickly and efficiently install and configure Ghost.

Installing Ghost

Ghost is an open-source blog publishing platform that provides a beautiful interface to create and publish content. It was designed as a non-profit project after the crowdfunding campaign and is free of licensing restrictions. It is utilized by many developers around the world, and it has a large support community. It is a light, responsive CMS that is compatible with all devices.

To install Ghost Follow the steps below: First, log into your droplet using SSH and change the prompt of your user to # (it should be the only thing that appears on your screen). This will tell your terminal that it is installing the software. Run the command node-v to check if it is installed correctly.

After a few moments, Ghost will prompt you to enter the URL of your blog. It's a good idea to start this process now, rather than after you've set up your domain and made your blog public. This gives you the opportunity to test out your blog and fix any issues before putting it public.

Press enter to start the installation process. The installation will take a few moments. If you are 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). Answer Y when asked if you wish to install Systemd.

This will configure Nginx for your Ghost blog. It will redirect requests from port 80 to the port that Ghost is running on, and it will add a layer of indirection for your visitors so they don't have to add :2368 at the end of the address. It will also set up the appropriate HTTP headers, so you'll be able to see your visitors' real IP addresses in your Ghost logs.

You'll also have to create a database user to Ghost. Create a user named ghostuser, with a name that is appropriate and a password that is secure, then add it to the sudoers group to ensure that it is able to execute sudo commands. Su - ghostuser will start a login shell for the user named ghostuser.

Installing 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 lighter alternative to Apache which offers better performance and a smaller footprint in memory.

Nginx's configuration files can be loaded without the need to shut down and re-start. This is accomplished by sending a signal to the master process, which checks the syntax of the new configuration file and makes any changes. It will also send an alert to old worker processes asking them to stop accepting new connections and 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 symlinks will be used to track the Nginx blocks that are enabled. This will allow your nginx server to respond to requests from your domain as well as the default site.

The syntax of nginx is extremely flexible. You can set up a wide range of things, such as permitting SSL connections or setting 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 spawning new processes for each request. This makes it more efficient, particularly for websites that experience large volumes of traffic. It can be set to cache static pages on your website. The Key Lab can increase the speed of your website.

Nginx is a reverse proxy that is used to route client requests (e.g. Requests from web browsers can be directed to other servers by using Nginx. This can be helpful in load balancing and speeding up websites and ensuring 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/nginx/ directory on your Ubuntu computer. This will reveal any errors that may be happening.

You can also make use of the systemctl command to start and stop Nginx. To do this, enter the following:

You can also add an Redis cache adapter to allow Ghost to store data in memory rather than in the database.

It can be especially helpful for high load sites with complicated templates that need a lot of get helpers.
