Hey, I installed ghost in two machines today using docker run -d --name some-ghost -e NODE_ENV=development -e url=http://localhost:3001 -p 3001:2368 ghost on both. one is my laptop running Fedora-Workstation 39 and it is working flawlessly! The other is a container on my ProxMox install running the almost identical Fedora-Server 38, however, this install appears to run fine until I try to change my user profile photo (or any other photo for that matter)… almost the same OS and the same command in the same docker… anyone have any idea what is happening??? there is no Proxies or certs, it is just on my local network as http right now. I would assume that is where the issue lies but the same configuration appears to work on my laptop…
I also have aready read this
and here is a copy of the terminal process I used and the error logs (the "#"s are the terminal prompts not comments):

Are you sure these are the relevant logs?
I have just tried this myself (running Ghost in docker) and got this log:
[2024-01-29 05:45:22] INFO "POST /ghost/api/admin/images/upload/" 201 1099ms
I don’t see that route being called in your logs at all, which makes me wonder whether there are some logs missing (also, since there is no indication that Ghost crashed from the logs).
Yes, in the cited the dev there was having the same issue. as you can see from the terminal commands just above the logs, the docker container was running then in the next command (docker ps) it shows that nothing is running (that is the only docker ct on this machine). the only change between those two commands is that I logged in and tried to change my profile photo. about 5-6 seconds later I got the “unable to reach the server” notice on ghost. 
which leaves me to wonder, why??
This is what the logs from my laptop (Fedora-desktop 39) look like…
not sure why my server is any different… it is running as a ProxMox LXC so maybe that is messing it up some how?
There may also be a problem with permissions to folders and files.
Make sure you run ghost as a user with the appropriate permissions, I haven’t used fedora, but my docker image works perfectly and on several instances of the same image in Debian 11.
So the only problem you have is a problem with your configuration…
Usually, when Ghost (or any application, really) crashes, it should give you some kind of indication. An error code or anything.
In your case, the log doesn’t even show that you accessed the route for uploading an image.
I am completely unfamiliar with ProxMox LXC, but I still think there are some logs missing.
I have had many Ghost docker container crash on me in the last few months, and they always told me the reason in the Docker logs – so, this is odd.
The last line in your log basically just indicates that Ghost verified that you signed in.
I’d suggest you try uploading the profile picture again and run the log command? See how far it logs. Which routes are visible in the logs. Do they correspond with what you’re trying to do? When does it cut out?
It happens when you want to write data… try mapping an external directory for Ghost’s /content directory. I use docker compose and have…
volumes:
- /home/magnus/ghost-content:/var/lib/ghost/content
…so Ghost will write & read the /content directory “outside” the docker environment/volume. Also, will make your data persistent when updating of the docker image - added bonus.
