  • What steps could someone else take to reproduce the issue you’re having?

I am trying to change the url of the website being hosted in the container, by using ghost config command . Then I try to restart ghost, I get above error when I do ‘ghost restart’ command and when I check for ghost instance using command ghost status it says ‘No installed ghost instances found’

Can anyone please help me how to fix this? appreciate the help in advance.

Docker uses ENV vars rather than the config file. You’ll need to change Ghost’s config via your Docker setup and upgrade Ghost that way rather than using Ghost-CLI. Docs for using Docker are here https://hub.docker.com/_/ghost.

Note that the Docker image is a community project and not officially supported. If you need help using it or run into issues you should open an issue on their repo.
