Introduction

A simple way to spin up a Ghost site using MySQL as the backend and docker-compose.

All data stays local in directory:

• mysql for all DB data.
• content for all Ghost related data.
• configuration.production.json for specific config manipulation if needed

Installation

• Clone the repo.
• Change the vars in .env
  • ghost_url = Your http(s) address
  • ghost_port = Your port to run Ghost on
  • db_user, db_pass, db_db = Ghost DB connection info (should match the user, pass, db below)
  • mysql_* = mysql information
• Change the config in configuration.production.json if you wish to customize email on the app.
  • The url will show up in the footer of transactional emails
  • For SMTP mail configuration, refer to this article.
  • If this is what you want, ONLY change the url and the mail config.

Usage

docker compose up -d
