To be sure, let’s update ghost-cli, and then create a folder for Ghost. Replace <user> with your user ID.

sudo npm install ghost-cli@latest -g
sudo mkdir boringdigital_com
sudo chown <user>:<user> /var/www/boringdigital_com
sudo chmod 775 /var/www/boringdigital_com
cd boringdigital_com

Okay, you’re all set to install Ghost.

ghost install 4.48.1

Note:

  • Blog URL is `https://boringdigital.com
  • MySQL hostname is localhost
  • Use MySQL database name, username, and password from earlier
  • Enter y to set up Nginx, SSL, systemd and start Ghost

You should be up and running once this is completed. Please let me know how this goes.

I expect so, depending on the specification of your VPS. For Wordpress you’ll need PHP, and do an Nginx installation. You’ll also need to setup DNS for sun-domains or an alternative domain.

I’ve not installed Discourse, so can’t help with that, but it’ll certainly run on Ubuntu.

You can install other apps on same server. Both Discourse and WordPress can be installed on same server and works fine.
