Installed Ghost but I cannot access my website

Developer help Installation

Hi, I have successfully installed ghost on my ubuntu server. But, I cannot access my website or complete the SSL installation.

When I check the ghost status, I see the website is active and running.

But, when I access my website or domain/ghost, I see this page:

When I install SSL using ghost install SSL, I get this error:

Your Nginx settings would be beneficial. Ghost may be running, but the proxy may be misconfigured or not running.

Thanks mjw. I did a fresh ghost installation on docker. Now, everything works fine.

In point of my viee, It’s better to run without Docker. I’d like to help you regarding the installation and setting up SSL, SMTP

Thank you! Why do you say it’s better without docker?

Because Docker uses more server resources. Why should we do it?
