How to run a headless ghost instance, but be able to manage posts with the editor?

Using Ghost
1

I am not sure how to call it, but the way I want to use ghost is the following:

  • self hosted
  • content accessible via API, I will inject it into my React frontend
  • the only UI I want is the post management feature. I want it to be accessible via my domain from any device, but only this - no front end for the blog

How would I do this? I tried setting it up, but I can either get the fully fledged blog with both blog and post management or just locally available version.

You’ll want to use a custom admin url. Things to consider:

  1. url should be configured as your react URL (e.g. https://your. Site)
  2. The admin.url should be where you want to host your Ghost instance (e.g. https://admin.your.site)
  3. When using the Content API in react, you will point to your admin URL (e.g. https://admin.your.site)
  4. Make sure to disable the frontend.
