Includes Nginx (webserver); pre-configured to proxy Ghost.
SSL support out of the box.
Postfix MTA (bound to localhost) to allow sending of email (e.g., password recovery).

Note: Check the Ghost docs to ensure that upgrading your current version to the latest is supported. Always ensure that you have a tested backup before proceeding with software updates.
Assuming that updating to the latest Ghost version is supported. update from the command line:
DIR=/opt/ghost cd $DIR su -c "pm2 stop ghost" node rm -rf core curl -LOk https://ghost.org/zip/ghost-latest.zip unzip ghost-latest.zip -d ghost-temp cd ghost-temp cp -R core $DIR cp index.js *.json *.md $DIR # optional step - update default theme cp -R content/themes/casper $DIR/content/themes cd .. rm -r ghost-temp rm ghost-latest.zip chown -R node:node $DIR su -c "npm install --production" node su -c "pm2 start ghost" node
