Ghost

What is it for?

Ghost is an elegant, fast blogging platform built for writing. Newsletter and paid subscriptions are built in: ideal for an independent publication.

Who is it for?

People who want to write and publish without fighting plugins.

After installing

1. Create the administrator account at https://journal.mydomain.com/ghost
2. To send the newsletter, set up an email service (see the documentation).

The docker-compose

Example behind Traefik. To adapt it (Nginx Proxy Manager, local port…) with a line-by-line explanation, use the generator (in French).
