Self hosted is not truly self hosted

[thany]

Issue Summary

There is a dependency on this url for the search function:

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/ghost/sodo-search@~1.5/umd/sodo-search.min.js

This one should be self-hosted, and be made part of the javascript build process. Since Ghost is built on top of Node.js, I know this is possible.

Further, I noticed this in the source:

<figure class="gh-card-image">
                <img
                    srcset="https://static.ghost.org/v4.0.0/images/feature-image.jpg 160w,
                            https://static.ghost.org/v4.0.0/images/feature-image.jpg 320w,
                            https://static.ghost.org/v4.0.0/images/feature-image.jpg 600w,
                            https://static.ghost.org/v4.0.0/images/feature-image.jpg 960w,
                            [https://static.ghost.org/v4.0.0/images/feature-image.jpg](view-source:https://static.ghost.org/v4.0.0/images/feature-image.jpg) 1200w,
                            https://static.ghost.org/v4.0.0/images/feature-image.jpg 2000w"
                    sizes="320px"
                    src="https://static.ghost.org/v4.0.0/images/feature-image.jpg"
                    alt="Coming soon"
                    loading="lazy"
                >
            </figure>

That's not supposed to be there. Again, if it's a self-hosted environment, it should be self hosted, not externally hosted. On top of that, it seems like... what, some sort of promotion for Ghost 4.0? It doesn't even matter. Don't bother end-users with something like that. They couldn't be arsed what platform a website runs on, let alone what the next version is all about.

This is better asked on the forum 🙂

I made a bug here, because I believe it is a bug.

I'm not asking how to change this on my instance, but I'm proposing to fix this for everyone.

There's a bugs category in the forum as well, which would be better suited for this report.

You can configure the URL for search as documented here https://ghost.org/docs/config/#search

The default configuration allows for bug fixes and security patches to be rolled out immediately, without requiring a rebuild and redeploy of Ghost on your server

Yeah so it's not self-hosted, it's controlled by you. It's totally normal to redeploy after a new version is released.

Default self-hosted package should be self-hosted. Please reopen, and provide a fix that changes the defaults accordingly. Don't tell me how to configure it on my install only.
