So I signed up with a self-hosted site. But when I log in using www.mydomain/ghost - I’m taken to /ghost/#/analytics - and it’s a blank page. What am I doing wrong? ---

You’ll have to provide some more details if youre self hosting. When you say signed up do you mean logged in for the first time on a new instance youre running? You’ll likely want to start by looking at the server logs to see if there are any clues. if youre running in docker from a command line you can run `docker compose logs` and it should output something. you can run `docker compose logs -f` to get a running log from terminal. ---

They mentioned that they “signed up for a self hosted site” which doesn’t really make too much sense to me on Ghost. You either set up a self hosted instance or sign up for Ghost Pro. If they set up for a self hosted, I wonder if the configurations aren’t set to begin with. Or they’re having issues with their Ghost Pro, Magic Pages, Pikapods, synapse, etc ghost hosted site. ---
