flyio-ghost-s3

This image is intended to be used with the fly.io platform. It is based on the official Ghost image, and adds the Ghost S3 storage adapter to the image to allow for hosting images on S3 instead of the volume itself.

Configuration

The following environment variables are required to be set in fly.toml and docker-compose.yml:

  • storage__s3__accessKeyId
  • storage__s3__secretAccessKey
  • storage__s3__region
  • storage__s3__bucket
  • storage__s3__assetHost

And in fly.toml:

  • app - The name of your app

Usage

  1. Install the Fly command-line tools

    curl -L https://fly.io/install.sh | sh

    or if you're on a Mac:

    brew install fly-io/tap/fly

  2. Create a free Fly.io account

    flyctl auth login

    This will open a browser window where you can login to Fly.io and generate an API token.

  3. Deploy an app using a pre-made image of the Ghost blogging platform

    flyctl launch --no-deploy

    This will create a new app in your Fly.io account, based on the fly.toml file. It will not deploy the app yet.

    In your fly.toml file, you will need to update the following environment variables:

    url - The URL you want to use for your blog

  4. Setup and configure storage for Ghost to store our data in a sqlite3 database

    flyctl volumes create data -s 3

  5. Deploy our app!

    flyctl deploy

TODO

  • Move config settings to fly.io's secrets system
