0x0001 - Installing Ghost (The Docker Way)

The (basic) method does not require a mysql, just docker which you can get basic instructions on how to install here

• ghost:alpine method does not require a mysql instance with it
• -e url=yoururl.com
• -p 80:2368  (2368 is the default port)
• /ghost/ is the relative URL for login and admin

sudo docker run --name ghost -e NODE_ENV=development -v ghost_data:/var/lib/ghost/content -e url=http://yourdomain.com:80 -p 80:2368 ghost:alpine

We can expand this farther with some more bells and whistles -d for daemon mode:

sudo docker run --name ghost -e NODE_ENV=development -v ghost_data:/var/lib/ghost/content -e url=http://localhost.com:80 -p 80:2368 --restart unless-stopped -d ghost:alpine

--restart unless-stopped is important

 -d without this it will run in the foreground.  Leave this option out if you want to see it's debug logs.
