Instead of just posting logs, would be great to get some context from you
I am pretty confused be what’s going on here. It says Node Version: v18.17.0, but also Warning: Ghost is running with node v16.20.2.. So, without any context, I have to assume that you have (somehow?) installed two node versions?
everything seems correct but the only things is take too long to start
The error message is clear: Ghost v5.72.1 is not compatible with Node.js v16.20.2. To resolve this issue, you need to update the Node.js version in the systemd service configuration for your Ghost instance. Here’s how you can do that:
Replace nano with your preferred text editor (e.g., vim, nano, or gedit).
Find the line that specifies the Node.js version:
Look for a line that starts with ExecStart and contains a reference to the Node.js binary, like this:
ExecStart=/usr/bin/node /usr/bin/ghost run
Update the Node.js version in the configuration:
Modify the line to use the compatible Node.js version you installed earlier with NVM. For example:
ExecStart=/path/to/your/compatible/node/version /usr/bin/ghost run
Make sure to replace /path/to/your/compatible/node/version with the actual path to the compatible Node.js version you installed using NVM.
Save the changes and exit the text editor:
In nano, you can press Ctrl + O to save the file, then press Enter, and Ctrl + X to exit.
Reload systemd to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
Restart your Ghost service:
sudo systemctl restart ghost_dumup-com
After completing these steps, your Ghost service should now be running with the compatible Node.js version, and the error should be resolved. You can verify that the service is running with the correct Node.js version by using:
sudo systemctl is-active ghost_dumup-com
This should confirm that the service is running without issues.
Alright, first things first: Never blindly trust what ChatGPT says. It’s completely outdated and a language model – it literally just predicts what the next word could potentially be. Its information can very well be wrong.
Since you’ve mentioned that everything works now, I take it that this is solved. The fact that it takes long can be normal, when you upgrade to a new version, since dependencies need to be installed.
Context ? Which one! I’m trying to update to the latest version and the pictures show the full details . I use the chatGPT solution but seems not working ?

Since journalctl -u ghost_dumup-com -n 50 yields no results, I’d suggest you have a permissions issue or there is a problem with Node. Note the location of additional log information, and output from ghost doctor. More information is needed to diagnose.
Edit: I see you’re posting in another thread about Node. Is this matter resolved or superseded?
