Adjust ghost docs to use "development" mode to use sqlite

MySQL is the default db for production mode now; to avoid all the envs for connecting to a mysql instance on every `docker run`, we'll just use dev mode; stack file still has an example of production mode with a MySQL server.

This will start a Ghost instance listening on the default Ghost port of 2368.
```console
$ docker run -d --name some-ghost %%IMAGE%%
$ docker run -d --name some-ghost -e NODE_ENV=development %%IMAGE%%
```
## Custom port

If you'd like to be able to access the instance from the host without the container's IP, standard port mappings can be used:
```console
$ docker run -d --name some-ghost -e url=http://localhost:3001 -p 3001:2368 %%IMAGE%%
$ docker run -d --name some-ghost -e NODE_ENV=development -e url=http://localhost:3001 -p 3001:2368 %%IMAGE%%
```
If all goes well, you'll be able to access your new site on `http://localhost:3001` and `http://localhost:3001/ghost` to access Ghost Admin (or `http://host-ip:3001` and `http://host-ip:3001/ghost`, respectively).

Mount your existing content. In this example we also use the Alpine base image.

Alternatively you can use a named [docker volume](https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/) instead of a direct host path for `/var/lib/ghost/content`:
```console
$ docker run -d --name some-ghost -v some-ghost-data:/var/lib/ghost/content %%IMAGE%%
$ docker run -d --name some-ghost -e NODE_ENV=development -v some-ghost-data:/var/lib/ghost/content %%IMAGE%%
```
### SQLite Database
This Docker image for Ghost uses SQLite. There is nothing special to configure.
## Configuration
All Ghost configuration parameters (such as `url`) can be specified via environment variables. See [the Ghost documentation](https://ghost.org/docs/concepts/config/#running-ghost-with-config-env-variables) for details about what configuration is allowed and how to convert a nested configuration key into the appropriate environment variable name:
```console
$ docker run -d --name some-ghost -e url=http://some-ghost.example.com %%IMAGE%%
$ docker run -d --name some-ghost -e NODE_ENV=development -e url=http://some-ghost.example.com %%IMAGE%%
```
(There are further configuration examples in the `stack.yml` listed below.)
