Just sharing experience as may assist someone else.
Installed on proxmox VM and decided to reinstall as I got sharp error when attempting to upload an image.
It may be that the mysql db is very slow (disks are shared NFS).
But install failed on first attempt - so I dropped db and started again
Following journal - db tables are being created and then ghost service stops and ghost won’t start.
AI helped identify how to fix.
login to mysql as root
use ghost_db;
UPDATE migrations_lock SET locked=0 WHERE lock_key='km01';
quit mysql
as non root user ghost start and db tables start to be created again.
Had to repeat twice more.
But the install succeeded
