bennetimo/ghost-themer repository overview

⁠ghost-themer

ghost-themer is a Docker⁠ container for managing Ghost⁠ blog themes⁠. It supports installing and updating themes located on Github.

There are many free and paid themes available in the Ghost Marketplace⁠, All Ghost Themes⁠ and other places.

⁠Quick Start

Create and run the ghost-themes container with the volume from your Ghost data container:

docker run --rm --volumes-from <your-data-container> bennetimo/ghost-themer

Where:

<your-data-container> is where your ghost themes live (your Ghost container or separate data container)

This will run a container that will install the default Casper⁠ theme into the /var/lib/ghost/themes directory (or update it if it exists).

⁠Installing multiple themes

Additional themes can be passed as arguments, in the form :.

For example to explicitly specify the Casper theme:

docker run --volumes-from <your-data-container> bennetimo/ghost-themer casper:TryGhost/Casper

You can list as many themes as you want, space separated. For example:

docker run --volumes-from <your-data-container> bennetimo/ghost-themer casper:TryGhost/Casper casper-copy:TryGhost/Casper

Would install two copies of Casper, one as 'casper' and one 'casper-copy'

⁠Updating themes

ghost-themer will check for the existence of any themes specified, and if they exist already they will be updated instead by doing a git pull origin master on the themes Github repo. So to update all of the themes, just run ghost-themer again.

⁠Changing the theme location

The default theme directory is /var/lib/ghost/themes. You can override this by setting the THEMES_LOCATION environment variable when you start the container.

docker run --volumes-from <your-data-container> -e THEMES_LOCATION="/my/theme/directory" bennetimo/ghost-themer
