⁠Volumn your blog database

I suggest you map a volumn from container to host when run ghost image.

docker run -d --name ghost -p 2368:2368 -v host_path_to_data:/var/www/ghost/content/data ghost

⁠Backup your volumn data

Note: It is useful on Linux

1. backup script

   #!/bin/bash
   DATA_DIR=$1    #data dir to backup
   STORE_DIR=$2   #data dir to store backup date
   tar zcvf ${STORE_DIR}/ghost_content_data_`date "+%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S"`.tar.gz ${DATA_DIR}
   

   Copy
2. crontab -e

   # m   h  dom mon dow   command
   30  3   *   *   *    path/to/ghost_blog_data_backup.sh path/to/DATA_DIR path/to/STORE_DIR
   

   Copy
3. done!

⁠Reobtain Let's Encrypt certificates

edit crontab -e on Linux

 0  0   1   */2   *    letsencrypt renew

⁠Let's Encrypt on Ubuntu Xenial

In this section,I will set up a SSL by [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) and [Nginx](http://nginx.org).

1. install Nginx and letsencrypt on Ubuntu 16.04

   It is easy, I skip
   

   Copy
2. config Nginx

   server {
       listen 80;
       server_name example.com www.example.com;
   
       location / {
           index index.html;
       }
   }
   

   Copy

detail info See Here⁠

1. obtain SSL CA from Let's Encript CA

   [sudo] letsencrypt certonly --webroot -w /var/www/ghost -d example.com -s www.example.com

1. add Nginx SSL and domain config

   server {
       listen 80;
       server_name example.com www.example.com;
       root path/to/root;
   
       ssl on;
       listen 443 ssl;
       ssl_certificate       path/to/cert;
       ssl_certificate_key   path/to/cert_key;
       ssl_session_timeout  30m;
       
       if ($scheme = http) {
       return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
       }
       
       location / {
           proxy_set_header  X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
           proxy_set_header  Host $http_host;
           proxy_set_header  X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
           proxy_set_header  X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
           proxy_set_header  Host      $host;
           proxy_pass        http://127.0.0.1:2368;
       }
