cn28h/ghost repository overview

⁠Ghost Dockerfile

This repository contains a fork of the Dockerfile of Ghost⁠ for Docker⁠'s trusted build⁠ published to the public Docker Registry⁠.

It differs in that it

• Does not run ghost as root
• Publishes config and capser theme externally to volume. This makes it easy to customize the theme.

⁠Dependencies

• dockerfile/nodejs⁠

⁠Installation

1. Install Docker⁠.

2. Download trusted build⁠ from public Docker Registry⁠: docker pull dockerfile/ghost

   (alternatively, you can build an image from Dockerfile: docker build -t="dockerfile/ghost" github.com/dockerfile/ghost)

⁠Usage

docker run -d -p 80:2368 dockerfile/ghost

⁠Customizing Ghost

docker run -d -p 80:2368 -v <override-dir>:/ghost-override dockerfile/ghost

where <override-dir> is an absolute path of a directory that could contain:

• config.js: custom config file copied from here⁠ (you must replace 127.0.0.1 with 0.0.0.0)
• content/data/: persistent/shared data
• content/images/: persistent/shared images
• content/themes/: more themes

After few seconds, open http://<host> for blog or http://<host>/ghost for admin page.

⁠Selecting a UID/GID

You can control the uid and gid of the ghost user:

docker run -d -p 80:2368 -v <override-dir>:/ghost-override -e GHOST_UID=<uid> -e GHOST_GID=<gid> dockerfile/ghost

You may want to do this if you have a user in your host system that you're using to own the ghost overrides.
