Forked from https://github.com/ZZROTDesign/alpine-ghost - I needed up-to-date version
This is a Docker image for Ghost. This image runs with a base of Alpine-Linux making it extremely small, secure and fast.
This image is also available on Docker Hub.
We recommend using our images in conjunction with Docker-Compose. This allows for easier creation of containers with the proper volumes and ports enabled.
We have included an example docker-compose file to show how this image might be used both for development and production in a different project.
This image works out of the box with no volumes. It differs from the official Docker Ghost image by including a config.js file with some env variables defined.
- DEV_DOMAIN = Is the domain that is reachable on your development machine. This is typically your docker-machine host ip
- PROD_DOMAIN = When running this image in production (NODE_ENV=production), this is the domain that is used.
This image also runs with containers. It will accept a volume from your ghost content folder, as well as a custom config.js file. These must point to /var/lib/ghost/ - See the example docker-compose for specification.
-
DEV_DOMAIN: URL for Ghost Blog running in Development
-
PROD_DOMAIN: URL for Ghost Blog running in Production
-
DEV_MAIL_TRANSPORT: Type of Transport used for Development Email
-
DEV_MAIL_SERVICE: The Service by which email will be sent in Development
-
DEV_MAIL_USER: Username for the Development email service
-
DEV_MAIL_PASS: Password for the Development email service
-
DEV_MAIL_FROM: Address which the Development email will be sent from
-
PROD_MAIL_TRANSPORT: Type of Transport used for Production Email
-
PROD_MAIL_SERVICE: The Service by which email will be sent in Production
-
PROD_MAIL_USER: Username for the Production email service
-
PROD_MAIL_PASS: Password for the Production email service
-
PROD_MAIL_FROM: Address which the Production email will be sent from
To run this container with the predefined defaults:
docker run -p 2368:2368 zzrot/alpine-ghost
Now the Ghost container will be available at your.dockermachine.ip:2368.
See the example compose file for specification of including the ENV variables as well as the volumes.
This image has one volume that can be utilized. By connecting a folder with:
/var/lib/ghost/
You can not only keep your data persistent, but also upload a custom config.js file. In order to do this connect your volume like this:
/your/contentfolder:/var/lib/ghost/
