What is Ghost?

Ghost is a simple, powerful publishing platform that allows you to share your stories with the world

https://ghost.org/

TL;DR;

Docker Compose

$ curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-ghost/master/docker-compose.yml > docker-compose.yml
$ docker-compose up -d

Why use Bitnami Images?

  • Bitnami closely tracks upstream source changes and promptly publishes new versions of this image using our automated systems.
  • With Bitnami images the latest bug fixes and features are available as soon as possible.
  • Bitnami containers, virtual machines and cloud images use the same components and configuration approach - making it easy to switch between formats based on your project needs.
  • All our images are based on minideb a minimalist Debian based container image which gives you a small base container image and the familiarity of a leading linux distribution.
  • All Bitnami images available in Docker Hub are signed with Docker Content Trust (DTC). You can use DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST=1 to verify the integrity of the images.
  • Bitnami container images are released daily with the latest distribution packages available.

This CVE scan report contains a security report with all open CVEs. To get the list of actionable security issues, find the "latest" tag, click the vulnerability report link under the corresponding "Security scan" field and then select the "Only show fixable" filter on the next page.

How to deploy Ghost in Kubernetes?

Deploying Bitnami applications as Helm Charts is the easiest way to get started with our applications on Kubernetes. Read more about the installation in the Bitnami Ghost Chart GitHub repository.

Bitnami containers can be used with Kubeapps for deployment and management of Helm Charts in clusters.

Prerequisites

To run this application you need Docker Engine 1.10.0. Docker Compose is recomended with a version 1.6.0 or later.

Supported tags and respective Dockerfile links

NOTE: Debian 9 and Oracle Linux 7 images have been deprecated in favor of Debian 10 images. Bitnami will not longer publish new Docker images based on Debian 9 or Oracle Linux 7.

Learn more about the Bitnami tagging policy and the difference between rolling tags and immutable tags in our documentation page.

How to use this image

Run the application using Docker Compose

The main folder of this repository contains a functional docker-compose.yml file. Run the application using it as shown below:

$ curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-ghost/master/docker-compose.yml > docker-compose.yml
$ docker-compose up -d

Run the application manually

If you want to run the application manually instead of using docker-compose, these are the basic steps you need to run:

  1. Create a new network for the application and the database:
$ docker network create ghost-tier
  1. Create a volume for MariaDB persistence and create a MariaDB container
$ docker volume create --name mariadb_data
$ docker run -d --name mariadb \
  -e ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  -e MARIADB_USER=bn_ghost \
  -e MARIADB_DATABASE=bitnami_ghost \
  --net ghost-tier \
  --volume mariadb_data:/bitnami \
  bitnami/mariadb:latest

Note: You need to give the container a name in order to Ghost to resolve the host

  1. Create volumes for Ghost persistence and launch the container
$ docker volume create --name ghost_data
$ docker run -d --name ghost -p 80:80 -p 443:443 \
  -e ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  -e GHOST_DATABASE_USER=bn_ghost \
  -e GHOST_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_ghost \
  --net ghost-tier \
  --volume ghost_data:/bitnami \
  bitnami/ghost:latest

Access your application at http://your-ip/

Note! If you want to access your application from a public IP or hostname you need to properly configured Ghost . You can handle it adjusting the configuration of the instance by setting the environment variable GHOST_HOST to your public IP or hostname.

Persisting your application

If you remove the container all your data and configurations will be lost, and the next time you run the image the database will be reinitialized. To avoid this loss of data, you should mount a volume that will persist even after the container is removed.

For persistence you should mount a volume at the /bitnami path. Additionally you should mount a volume for persistence of the MariaDB data.

The above examples define docker volumes namely mariadb_data and ghost_data. The Ghost application state will persist as long as these volumes are not removed.

To avoid inadvertent removal of these volumes you can mount host directories as data volumes. Alternatively you can make use of volume plugins to host the volume data.

Mount host directories as data volumes with Docker Compose

This requires a minor change to the docker-compose.yml file present in this repository:

services:
  mariadb:
  ...
    volumes:
      - /path/to/mariadb-persistence:/bitnami
  ...
  ghost:
  ...
    volumes:
      - '/path/to/ghost-persistence:/bitnami'
  ...

Mount host directories as data volumes using the Docker command line

In this case you need to specify the directories to mount on the run command. The process is the same than the one previously shown:

  1. Create a network (if it does not exist):
$ docker network create ghost-tier
  1. Create a MariaDB container with host volume:
$ docker run -d --name mariadb --net ghost-tier \
  -e ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  -e MARIADB_USER=bn_ghost \
  -e MARIADB_DATABASE=bitnami_ghost \
  --volume /path/to/mariadb-persistence:/bitnami \
  bitnami/mariadb:latest

Note: You need to give the container a name in order to Ghost to resolve the host

  1. Create the Ghost container with host volumes:
$ docker run -d --name ghost -p 80:2368 \
  -e ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  -e GHOST_DATABASE_USER=bn_ghost \
  -e GHOST_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_ghost \
  -e GHOST_HOST=localhost \
  --net ghost-tier \
  --volume /path/to/ghost-persistence:/bitnami \
  bitnami/ghost:latest

NOTE: As this is a non-root container, the mounted files and directories must have the proper permissions for the UID 1001.

Upgrade this application

Bitnami provides up-to-date versions of MariaDB and Ghost, including security patches, soon after they are made upstream. We recommend that you follow these steps to upgrade your container. We will cover here the upgrade of the Ghost container. For the MariaDB upgrade see https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-mariadb/blob/master/README.md#upgrade-this-image

  1. Get the updated images:
$ docker pull bitnami/ghost:latest
  1. Stop your container
  • For docker-compose: $ docker-compose stop ghost
  • For manual execution: $ docker stop ghost
  1. Take a snapshot of the application state
$ rsync -a /path/to/ghost-persistence /path/to/ghost-persistence.bkp.$(date +%Y%m%d-%H.%M.%S)

Additionally, snapshot the MariaDB data

You can use these snapshots to restore the application state should the upgrade fail.

  1. Remove the currently running container
  • For docker-compose: $ docker-compose rm ghost
  • For manual execution: $ docker rm ghost
  1. Run the new image
  • For docker-compose: $ docker-compose up ghost
  • For manual execution (mount the directories if needed): docker run --name ghost bitnami/ghost:latest

Configuration

Setting a custom storage adapters

This example shows how to install the Storage Adapter for S3.

FROM bitnami/ghost:latest

USER root

RUN install_packages jq
RUN mkdir -p /.npm && chmod -R g+rwX,o+rw /.npm

COPY post_ghost_config.sh /
RUN chmod +x /post_ghost_config.sh \
    && cp /app-entrypoint.sh /tmp/app-entrypoint.sh \
    && sed '/info "Starting ghost... "/ a . /post_ghost_config.sh' /tmp/app-entrypoint.sh > /app-entrypoint.sh 

ENV AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID" \
    AWS_ACCESS_SECRET_KEY="AWS_ACCESS_SECRET_KEY" \
    AWS_REGION="AWS_REGION" \
    AWS_BUCKET="AWS_BUCKET" 

USER 1001

RUN cd /bitnami/ghost \
    && npm i --silent ghost-storage-adapter-s3 \ 
    && mkdir -p /bitnami/ghost/content/adapters/storage/s3 \
    && cp -r ./node_modules/ghost-storage-adapter-s3/* /bitnami/ghost/content/adapters/storage/s3/ 
  1. Add jq tool, prepare npm and install an adapter.

  2. Add configuration for the adapter.

Create a script using jq for adding configuration to the config.production.json.

#!/bin/bash -e
cp /bitnami/ghost/config.production.json /tmp/config.tmp.json

jq -r --arg keyId $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID --arg accessKey $AWS_ACCESS_SECRET_KEY --arg region $AWS_REGION --arg bucket $AWS_BUCKET \
    '. + { storage: { active: "s3", s3: { accessKeyId: $keyId, secretAccessKey: $accessKey, region: $region, bucket: $bucket } } }' \
    /tmp/config.tmp.json > /bitnami/ghost/config.production.json

Add it to the app-entrypoint.sh just after ghost is configured.

Finally, build the container and set the required environment variables to configure the adapter.

Environment variables

When you start the ghost image, you can adjust the configuration of the instance by passing one or more environment variables either on the docker-compose file or on the docker run command line. If you want to add a new environment variable:

  • For Docker Compose, add the variable name and value under the application section:
ghost:
  ...
  environment:
    - GHOST_HOST=my_host
  ...
  • For manual execution add a -e option with each variable and value:
 $ docker run -d -p 80:2368 --name ghost --network=ghost-tier \
    -e GHOST_PASSWORD=my_password \
    -v /your/local/path/bitnami/ghost:/bitnami \
    bitnami/ghost

    -v /your/local/path/bitnami/ghost:/bitnami \
    bitnami/ghost

Notable Changes

0.11.10-r2

  • The ghost container has been migrated to a non-root container approach. Previously the container run as root user and the ghost daemon was started as ghost user. From now own, both the container and the ghost daemon run as user 1001. As a consequence, the configuration files are writable by the user running the ghost process.
