I installed one ghost site using the ghost CLI tool. It worked great! Then, I installed another one, with all the same configuration and commands except different: Database info port domain & folder …and that second site returned an Nginx error. Is there something else I need to do when install…

tl;dr Culprit: developer mode I got it working. The .service file needed to be this: /lib/systemd/system/ghost_domain-tld.service : [Unit] Description=Ghost systemd service for blog: domain.tld Documentation=https://ghost.org/docs/ [Service] Type=simple WorkingDirectory=/srv/www/ghost/domain.tld…

I don’t think the CLI is really equipped to install Ghost on multiple subdirectories, but I might be mistaken. If you’re not installing multiple instances on to a single site, there are a couple of things to check: Is the new instance running? You can check with ghost ls Are both instances trying …

They are different domains hosted on the same server. Does that change anything? Should I use the ghost command to indicate a different Ghost session is running? The docs say ghost start [name], but [name] doesn’t seem to work. If I give each a different name, will that solve it? How would I do th…

You can get the names from ghost ls

[image] JesseSteele: The docs say ghost start [name], but [name] doesn’t seem to work. You must cd into the subfolder for each Ghost instance ( ghost ls works outside.) However, I notice you posted elsewhere about a manual systemd setup. This could be the source of the problem. Sharing err…

I found this helpful when sorting how to run multiple ghosts on same server

looks good, although for others following in your footsteps it is worth noting that [image] JesseSteele: StandardOutput=syslog StandardError=syslog … overrides the default ‘journal’ setting for systemd (which uses journalctl for logging rather than the old syslog service). For others doing …

NickAbs nice Frank Lloyd Wright icon. This is amazing and helpful! Yes, we want journal. I’m glad the team thought of having a way for Node Ghost devs to get a thing up and running on their local machine fast. Kudos! What I don’t like is a “convenient” tool that tries to outsmart me, checks for t…

[image] JesseSteele: What I don’t like is a “convenient” tool that fair enough, although I suspect that people with your system admin experience are not really who this utility is aimed at. The ghost-cli code that does the setup is well commented, so a more detailed check list would be possi…

I’d be inclined to go write the whole thing to use sudo, but I don’t know how the team will receive that. It would mess with a lot of desktop developers’ workflow. But, these are people typing in their terminals, not using SysAdmin scripts, so it probably wouldn’t break any stacks.

I think ghost-cli already works this way… under the covers setup is using standard Linux sudo so I’d expect sudo ghost setup run by an account needing a sudo password to prompt for a password once at the start. On a standard sudo install, all subsequent sudos needed by the installer should use th…
