I’m having trouble wrapping my mind around the new ghost installation process. I used to have a ghost blog way back when you just downloaded and ran it. I already have nginx vhosts configured and ready to go. With SSL. They’re only waiting for appropraite proxy_pass entries.
My goal is to have multiple (three) ghost instances running on a single server. What is the best way to do that?
My first thought was to create separate system and mysql accounts for each with homes in /srv. However, I cannot even get the regular installation process of a single ghost blog to run properly.
Every ghost install attempt fails with
Running sudo command: /var/www/nanoghost/current/node_modules/.bin/knex-migrator-migrate --init --mgpath /var/www/nanoghost/current

A ProcessError occurred.

(is there a spoiler tag here?)
but ghost doesn’t start
tenautomatix@amber /var/www/nanoghost » ghost start
Running sudo command: systemctl is-active ghost_nanodzialalnosc-pl
A ProcessError occurred.
Message: Command failed: /bin/sh -c sudo -S -p '#node-sudo-passwd#' systemctl is-active ghost_nanodzialalnosc-pl

Exit code: 3
Because it encounters the same issue? Because it didn’t finish the installation?
‘ghost doctor’ has the same problem
Message: Command failed: /bin/sh -c sudo -S -p '#node-sudo-passwd#' systemctl is-active ghost_nanodzialalnosc-pl

and returns commands to fix permissions which don’t help.
tenautomatix@amber /var/www/nanoghost » sudo find ./ -type d -exec chmod 00775 {} \;

tenautomatix@amber /var/www/nanoghost » sudo find ./ -type d -exec chmod 00775 {} \;
What’s happening and how can I fix it? Is there a simpler, less brittle installation process available? I’d be happy to create the mysql users, etc by hand.
