I had hoped the stanza in configuration would resolve this, but it seems that the dashboard insists on calling out for some content that I’d rather it not do.
"privacy": {
"useTinfoil": true
}
That configuration has no effect on the following outbound connections made from the dashboard.
If those calls cannot be included in the ‘useTinfoil’ directive, a simple way to turn off the sections in the dashboard that is making all those outgoing calls would be great. It appears to be originating mostly from “Ghost Resources”, “Ghost Featured Publications”, “Ghost Creator Community”, and “What’s New”.
This topic is also discussed at Self-hosted: forbid "phoning home" (calling ghost.io and/or ghost.org) - #2 by RyanF but hasn’t gotten much traction/attention.
