How to create custom domain name for ghost?

Developer help Self-hosting

i use ghost docker
which tool is use to being create domain name that can point to ghost port
I try pi hole docker but can’t use ghost port

2

What is purpose of pi-hole in this usecase? What were you trying to accomplish?

Since it seems like your question is more domain based and a mix of docker. However, can’t really answer it since too many unknown variables. You may want to expose the port back to host machine and visit it via localhost and that port.

Obviously that isn’t preferred when you hit production - so bring in nginx and reverse proxy that to that exposed port/docker container from a secured domain.

https://hub.docker.com/_/ghost

Both of those should help.

It would be beneficial if you explained your hosting environment, and why you chose Docker.

Sorry, but you need to make the effort to describe your setup here… I’m not going to watch the video.

However, if you’re running on an RPI, why use Docker? Simply install Raspbian, which is similar to Ubuntu 20.04, and follow the official documentation.

You’ll also need to set up Dynamic DNS on your home network, port forwarding on your router, and setup A-records for the domain you intend to use. Nginx is a reverse proxy that will pass traffic from the domain to your instance of Ghost.
