Bugs

I was update Ghost 5.1.0 to 5.1.1, and after succesfull updating - have error:

ghost start

Love open source? We’re hiring Node.js Engineers to work on Ghost full-time.

Can you share your config.production.json file, obfuscating any passwords without making any other changes.

@denvergeeks just to clarify ~

  • config.{env}.json files are for your Ghost instance, and can contain secrets! You should almost never upload it to a site, and if you’re ever pasting it somewhere (like this forum), you should redact all secrets like @mjw mentioned
  • Themes can be uploaded to many Ghost instances, and most if not all of the data can be publicly shared (assuming the license allows it). They can be uploaded to gscan to validate the package.json, among several other things.

Hope this makes sense! :smile:
