I installed a local Ghost service. I wish pass this service from dev to production on the same machine.
How to?
It’s usually easier to just install a new instance of Ghost rather than convert an instance 
Without backup and restore of db?
While there isn’t a difference between production and development databases (there is a difference between database engines), it’s usually easier to copy content (things in the content folder) to your new instance, and use Ghost’s import / export tools to copy data
