Ghost Azure

This module allows you to store media file at Azure instead of storing at local machine.

Installation

You need to enter the following commands in the directory in which ghost is installed. For example, if you followed the Ghost setup guide, it'll be in /var/www/ghost.

sudo npm install ghost-azure-storage (note the absence of --save)
sudo mkdir -p content/adapters/storage (make the storage folder if it doesn't exist yet)
sudo cp -vR node_modules/ghost-azure-storage content/adapters/storage/ghost-azure-storage (copy the module into the right location)
sudo chown -R ghost:ghost ./content to set the right permissions to the folder.

    }
  },

Note: useHttps is optional. Defaults to http if omitted. Set to true to enable.
