How to Install Ghost on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Ghost is a popular content management system and blogging platform that is great for managing and publishing your content. Fedora CoreOS is a community-driven open-source operating system that is designed for running containerized workloads. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps on how to install Ghost on Fedora CoreOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we proceed with the installation, make sure you have the following requirements:

• A viable network connection
• A server or virtual machine running Fedora CoreOS
• The latest version of Docker installed on Fedora CoreOS

Step 1: Create a new directory

We need to create a directory where we will store the Ghost application files. To create a new directory, run the following command:

sudo mkdir -p /var/www/ghost

Step 2: Change directory permissions

Next, we need to change the ownership and permissions of the /var/www/ghost directory by running the following command:

sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /var/www/ghost
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/ghost

Step 3: Create a Docker Compose file

Create a new file named docker-compose.yaml in the /var/www/ghost directory:

sudo nano /var/www/ghost/docker-compose.yaml

Copy and paste the following contents into the file:

version: '3'
services:
  ghost:
    image: ghost:latest
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 2368:2368
    environment:
      url: https://your-domain.com
      database__client: mysql
      database__connection__host: db
      database__connection__database: ghost
      database__connection__user: root
      database__connection__password: example
    volumes:
      - ./content:/var/lib/ghost/content
  db:
    image: mysql:5.7
    restart: always
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: example
    volumes:
      - ./data:/var/lib/mysql

Save and close the file.

Step 4: Start the Ghost application

Now that we have created the Docker Compose file, we will use it to start the Ghost application. Run the following command:

sudo docker-compose up -d

This command will download the latest version of the Ghost image and start it in the background.

Step 5: Access Ghost in your web browser

After starting the Ghost application, visit the following URL in your web browser:

https://your-domain.com:2368

Replace your-domain.com with the domain or IP address of your server.

You should now be able to access the Ghost installation page and complete the setup wizard.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed Ghost on Fedora CoreOS Latest!
