Disable frontend when using Ghost as a headless CMS

Developer help
1

I’m looking to use Ghost as a headless CMS for a Gatsby frontend hosted on Netlify.

My question is although it’s very easy to get Gatsby working with Ghost, is there a way to disable Ghost’s frontend entirely? I know about making it “private” with a password, but ideally I’d like for Ghost to serve only as a CMS with no frontend at all.

Is that possible?

Putting the site in private mode is the recommended option, if you want to lock it down further then you could modify your nginx/apache config so that it only serves the /ghost/* endpoints for the admin and API and /content/* for images etc.
