Okay, the problem (diagnosed by trying ghost run) seems to be that I didn’t include the protocol (https://) in my url. I reset to my original url and was able to run ghost restart successfully!
But I’m still getting the 502 Bad Gateway errors. sudo tail -f /var/log/nginx/error.log shows me
2023/06/15 18:22:31 [error] 854#854: *785 connect() failed (111: Unknown error) while connecting to upstream, client: AAA, server: BBB, request: "GET / HTTP/2.0", upstream: "http://127.0.0.1:2368/", host: "CCC"
Dead ends:
- Per How to update the URL of your self-hosted Ghost site, I tried
ghost setup nginxbut gotNginx configuration already found for this url. Skipping Nginx setup. ghost doctorshows nothing interesting:

A possible solution from another post on the same issue:
I am not familiar with netstat but I do see this line in my netstat -plant output:
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:2369 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 7829/node
I tried updating the port numbers in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/XXX.conf and /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/XXX-ssl.conf from 2368 to 2369 and then restarting with ghost restart. Seems to have had no effect.
