How to use the new override method?

[viyatb]

When I used to run dockerfile/ghost, I could easily use the ghost-overide directory for symlinking the content folder to my containerised blog.
Yesterday I upgraded it to use the new official ghost docker image, and all hell breaks loose. The path to ghost installation has changed, and there is no documentation on how to override except issue #6 which is equally vague.
And the official method to override using -v /path/to/blog/:/var/lib/ghost/ simply doesn't work.
How do I fix this?

Does #7 help? If you have a config.js in there, you may need to apply the same sed 's!path.join\(__dirname, (.)/content!path.join(process.env.GHOST_CONTENT, \1!g;'

Hi, isn't there a more simpler method like just overriding the ghost/content directory?
But also I couldn't understand you. Can you shed some light on your previous comment?

Thanks!

If you run with -v /my/blog/:/usr/src/ghost/content, then your stuff would be copied by the startup script over to /var/lib/ghost in the container. So yes it would run, but it would not reflect any changes into your bind mounted code.

If you use -v /my/blog/:/var/lib/ghost the startup script will check in /var/lib/ghost/ for each of the directories (apps, data, images, and themes) and copy from /usr/src/ghost/content the ones that don't exist. It then also checks for config.js in /var/lib/ghost/, and if it does not exist, copies /usr/src/ghost/config.example.js while running the above sed to fix the paths in the config.

Hi, I am still getting errors.

> ghost@0.6.3 start /usr/src/ghost
> node index

ERROR: Unable to access Ghost's content path:
  ENOENT, no such file or directory '/var/lib/ghost/content/apps'

Check that the content path exists and file system permissions are correct.
Help and documentation can be found at http://support.ghost.org.

Command I ran was:
docker run -d -p 80:80 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock -t jwilder/nginx-proxy
docker run -it -p 84:2368 -e "VIRTUAL_HOST=xxx.x.x.x.xxxx" -e NODE_ENV=production -v /home/delta24/ghost-data:/var/lib/ghost ghost

The directory /home/delta24/ghost-data contains:
