Followed the ghost installation guide for Ubuntu install (using a RaspberryPi3B+ with the official Ubuntu core image.
Aside from the ghost guide installation, I also expanded the pi volume, to use the whole SDcard, setup a root user for the server, and got NTP updated etc. (all the basic stuff, before installing ghost.)
Everything in the ghost install went smoothly and without error until the final command in ‘ghost install’ sequence (which is: start ghost? y.). It runs through all the checks and then get’s to the ‘Starting Ghost’ bit, and then fail.
subsequent attempts to start ghost give me the below output. Ghost doctor does not reveal any errors.
NB: saw this post - was failing on version of node = v8.15.1 and ghost cli = 1.9.9. I updated to node v10x, but still failing in same way.
