Ghost on CF
This is a repository that provides some wrapper functionality to deploy ghost to Cloud Foundry.
It is strikingly similar to the cobyism/ghost-on-heroku project referenced below - but was developed independently.
The versions are all locked in, but ghost continues to be under active development! Please keep that in mind
Deploying
Dependencies
- A mysql service called
ghost-mysql - A sendgrid service called
ghost-mail
AWS
This release expects either an s3 bucket or a blobber endpoint, the following environment variables should be set
Either define these keys:
- S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID
- S3_ACCESS_SECRET_KEY
- S3_BUCKET_NAME
- S3_BUCKET_REGION
- S3_ASSET_HOST_URL
Or these keys:
- BLOBBER_API_KEY

Local modifications
- probably want to modify manifest.yml to change things like app name, or to add a route
- may want to modify config.js to remove mail configuration if that isn't an option in your environment
TODO
- Add support for GCP
- Add support for Database file storage
- Get services by tag instead of name
- Make the javascript more excellent
