I’m taking @Hannah 's advice that I saw buried deep down in a topic and am starting a different thread for my problem. I’ve run out of ideas, any direction would be helpful. I updated from Ghost 3.X to the latest version and it appears to be in a loop, from ghost log:

I validated that I have node 14.16.1 in /usr/bin:
ljhardy@firehole:/usr/bin$ ./node -v
v14.16.1
…and NOT in /usr/local/bin:
ljhardy@firehole:/usr/local/bin$ ./node -v
-bash: ./node: No such file or directory
This is the output from ghost doctor:
