I updated my ExecStart parameter in /lib/systemd/system/ghost_blog-justinmallone-com.service to the current version of node installed, which is a supported version (16.13.0).
I also changed the client field in config.production.json to mysql (from mysql2). Found some discussion of that issue here and here.
ghost doctor now passes its checks without any errors. however, ghost start stalls. I ran ghost start -V and got the following output
