microbug/ghost repository overview

⁠Ghost with custom UID/GID

microbug/ghost

This image is library/ghost:alpine with a user-settable UID and GID.

⁠Usage

The UID and GID of the node user (who runs Ghost in the container) can be set through environment variables. Examples below use the usual default of UID and GID both equal to 1000, substitute your own for different situations.

Because the node user has the right permissions, you can pass through a folder to map to /var/lib/ghost to enable persistence. On the host you should do chown -R 1000:1000 FOLDER_NAME on each folder that you will map.

⁠docker-compose
