docker-ghost-ssl

This project builds and deploys two Docker containers, one for Ghost and the other for Nginx with SSL configured.

Requirements

• Linux host with Git and Docker installed
• SSL cert and key

Running blog

Clone repository

git clone https://github.com/dan-v/docker-ghost-ssl.git && cd docker-ghost-ssl

Import existing Ghost blog data (Optional)

Put your Ghost data (contents directory) into data/ghostblog_data directory before starting containers

SSL Configuration

• Copy SSL cert to data/certificates/server.crt
• Copy SSL private key to data/certificates/server.key

Starting blog

Run the start script with your blog url like the example below. This will pull the latest images and start containers with appropriate port and volume mappings. If all goes well, your blog should be up and running.

./ghostblog_start.sh https://vittegleo.com

• Running this will start two containers:
  • ghostblog container with data/ghostblog_data mapped as a volume.
  • ghostblog_proxy container with ports 80/443 mapped to host, linked to 'ghostblog' container so nginx can proxy connections to Ghost container, and volumes data/certificates and data/sites-enabled mapped to /etc/nginx in container.

(Optional) Building images

./build.sh

Running this will create two Docker images:

• 9df8/ghostblog image for ghost blog.
• 9df8/ghostblog_proxy image for nginx proxy.
