A plugin for Hestia Control Panel (via hestiacp-pluginable) that enables hosting a Ghost instance. With this plugin installed, a new Quick Installer option will appear. User accounts can host their own Ghost instance either in the root domain or as a subfolder installation. For instance, it is possible to run Ghost in the root domain while having NodeBB installed on the same domain in a subfolder (i.e. https://example.com/nodebb-forum) or vice versa.
⚠️ !!! This plugin is NOT supported and this repo is scheduled for archiving; as the Ghost project has stopped support for MariaDB. Compatibility, stability, and functionality is therefore unknown. This may change if an"hcpp-mysql8"project becomes a reality but until then there are no plans for continued development.
HCPP-Ghost requires an Ubuntu based installation of Hestia Control Panel in addition to an installation of HestiaCP-Pluginable and HCPP-NodeApp to function; please ensure that you have first installed both Pluginable and NodeApp on your Hestia Control Panel before proceeding. Switch to a root user and simply clone this project to the /usr/local/hestia/plugins folder. It should appear as a subfolder with the name ghost, i.e. /usr/local/hestia/plugins/ghost.
First, switch to root user:
sudo -s
Then simply clone the repo to your plugins folder, with the name ghost:
cd /usr/local/hestia/plugins
git clone https://github.com/virtuosoft-dev/hcpp-ghost ghost
Note: It is important that the destination plugin folder name is ghost.
Be sure to logout and login again to your Hestia Control Panel as the admin user or, as admin, visit Server (gear icon) -> Configure -> Plugins -> Save; the plugin will immediately start installing NodeJS and Ghost depedencies in the background. A notification will appear under the admin user account indicating "Ghost plugin has finished installing" when complete. This may take awhile before the options appear in Hestia. You can force manual installation via root level SSH:
sudo -s
cd /usr/local/hestia/plugins/ghost
./install
touch "/usr/local/hestia/data/hcpp/installed/ghost"
