Install ghost without command line

Developer help Installation
1

I did a package for Ghost Yunohost which helped people to install,remove,upgrade,backup and restore Ghost blogging platform on Debian based server.

It was working, but yesterday someone reported an 404 not file not found issue for the source file https://ghost.org/zip/ghost-latest.zip . Issue: [Ghost] Blogging platform - #24 by notkaa - Apps - YunoHost Forum

Has the source been removed from here? If yes, how should I build Ghost without command-line. I had looked at this topic: Is it possible to run Ghost without installing Ghost CLI? but it did not hellped me as the link provided there don’t work anymore.

I want manual way to configure Ghost. Database creation, user creation,Nginx config,dependencies including nodejs and yarn, systemd are taken care by Yunohost scripts.

I would need the file where the config setting would be done and the migration commands.

I tried to install from Gost from the Gost’s github repo: GitHub - TryGhost/Ghost: Turn your audience into a business. Publishing, memberships, subscriptions and newsletters..
Added the domain, database settings and port in the config.production.json.
But while running NODE_ENV=production knex-migrator init I got this error.

 knex-migrator init

Can someone provide me with the exact commands to configure Ghost?

Hey @anmol26s

You are right, the source is missing! We moved the https://ghost.org/ site over to use Gatsby and this route got forgotten :grimacing:

I just added a fix, so https://ghost.org/zip/ghost-latest.zip should work again in a couple of minutes! Thanks for pointing our attention to it :hugs:

Its working again thanks for fixing the link.

BTW it would be good if this ghost-latest zip could be on github with releases tag.

You mean those: Releases · TryGhost/Ghost · GitHub ?

I don’t know why but I get this error with those releases: Install ghost without command line - #2 by anmol26s, but the ghost-latest zip works well.

Thanks
