Hi, I am using ghost with docker, and after I installed this adapter following the README, it given me the following error:

[2020-12-04 04:29:05] ERROR Unable to find storage adapter ghost-storage-github in ,/var/lib/ghost/content/adapters/,/var/lib/ghost/versions/3.38.3/core/server/adapters/.

I examined the directory /var/lib/ghost/content/adapters/ and there did has storage/ghost-storage-github/，then according to the official document https://ghost.org/docs/concepts/storage-adapters/

Inside of content/adapters/storage create a file or a folder: content/adapters/storage/my-module.js or content/adapters/storage/my-module - if using a folder, create a file called index.js inside it

I moved the index.js and utils.js outside from build folder, but it didn't work either.

adapters/
└── storage
    └── ghost-storage-github
        ├── build
        │   ├── index.js
        │   └── utils.js
        ├── index.js
        ├── LICENSE.txt
        ├── package.json
        ├── README.md
        └── utils.js

My ghost configuration is:

{
  "url": "http://localhost:2368",
  "server": {
    "port": 2368,
    "host": "0.0.0.0"
  },

}

and my docker-compse file is:

Hi, @lecoan! Just saw this issue and noticed that you've closed it. How did you manage to solve the problem you were having?

[lecoan]

@ifvictr I downloaded the module by npm outside the docker, but the node_modules didn't mount within docker container, as shown in my docker-compse.yaml file, thus the adapter can not find its dependencies.

[ifvictr]

I see. Glad you were able to resolve this! :)

@lecoan could you tell me how did you update your docker-compose.yml file? Thank you.

[lecoan]

@quyleanh I lost the config and don't use ghost for posting blogs now. But the configuration is easy.

After cp -r node_modules/ghost-storage-github content/adapters/storage/ghost-storage-github, you need mount the other node_modules inside your container so that ghost-storage-github can find its deps :)

    volumes:
    - ./ghost/content/:/var/lib/ghost/content
    - ./ghost/config.json:/var/lib/ghost/config.production.json
    - ./ghost/node_modules:/var/lib/ghost/node_modules # new

@lecoan thank you very much. I've manage to run it successfully.
Actually, my error is mistaken config.
