mebooks.ansible-role-docker-ghost

Based on rgarrigue.docker-ghost-blog.

This role installs the dockerised ghost blog on an Ubuntu server.

We presume the use of Traefik as our reverse proxy, and use git to back our blog content up to a repository.

We assume that we've probably run:

The above all chain as dependencies of our main dependency:

ansible-role-docker-traefik

It will be available at https://blog.domain.tld, and administration interface is at https://blog.domain.tld/admin

Blog content is under /etc/ghost

Requirements
