How to use this image
This will start a Ghost instance listening on the default Ghost port of 2368.
$ docker run -d --name some-ghost ghost
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:
$ docker run -d --name some-ghost -p 3001:2368 ghost
Then, access it via http://localhost:3001 or http://host-ip:3001 in a browser.
Stateful
Mount your existing content. In this example we also use the Alpine base image.
Ghost 1.x.x
$ docker run -d --name some-ghost -p 3001:2368 -v /path/to/ghost/blog:/var/lib/ghost/content ghost:1-alpine
Ghost 0.11.xx
$ docker run -d --name some-ghost -p 3001:2368 -v /path/to/ghost/blog:/var/lib/ghost ghost:0.11-alpine
Breaking change
If you want to run Ghost 0.11.xx, be aware of the container's path difference:
- Ghost 1.x.x is:
/var/lib/ghost/content - Ghost 0.11.x is:
/var/lib/ghost
SQLite Database
This Docker image for Ghost uses SQLite. There is nothing special to configure.
Docker Volume
Alternatively you can use a data container that has a volume that points to /var/lib/ghost/content (or /var/lib/ghost for 0.11.x) and then reference it:
$ docker run -d --name some-ghost --volumes-from some-ghost-data ghost
