I just ran ‘ghost update’ with the cli and am now on v6! Whoo hoo! However, once I clicked past the onboarding screens in Network, I’m getting the “Loading interrupted” error. I saw mention in the changelog that self hosters could use activitypub, but I must be missing a step somewhere?

To follow up on my original problem on my Ghost-CLI install using Ghost’s hosted ActivityPub, the missing piece for me after sorting out the nginx bits above was that I have my admin dashboard on a separate subdomain from the main site, which means that I needed to add a redirect from not-admin-site…

After adding the nginx config I noticed that there was a missmatch between nginx port forward port and the port Ghost was running on. I fixed it and now everything is working again!

Hey team, I have the same problem. Is there a solution? Self-hosted Ghost The admin URL is the same as the public one I have already added these rules to the nginx config: Added activitypub path to nginx by rmgpinto · Pull Request #1963 · TryGhost/Ghost-CLI · GitHub Ghost-CLI version: 1.28.3 Ghos…
