I’d never leave, I was a Kickstarter-backer for Ghost. I believe in what you’re building!
Although I got it installed and running, and Nginx config shows it capturing web traffic, Ghost is not showing. I think I can get my new environment running, but still want to help resolve issues in my production setup. (It runs Ghost, but a number of other tools I user and would rather not port.)
@billedawson Thanks. Your installation works already as far as i understood 
So expected that this would work for you.
I am interested what the output for @cedric is!
@Kate these results came from my installation that won’t start.
I’ll keep playing with the newer droplet, it’s my lifeboat!
Oh that is interesting.
What happens if you execute
node server.js --host localhost --port 8000
node client.js --host localhost --port 8000
twosents@bedawson-Ghost:~$ node server.js --host localhost --port 8000
module.js:540
throw err;
^Error: Cannot find module ‘/home/twosentences/server.js’

Have you removed the scripts?
D’oh! I was in the wrong directory – don’t debug distracted! 
How about these results instead?
bedawson-Ghost:/tmp/test-socket$ node server.js --host localhost --port 8000
Start server localhost 8000
Received message from Client
Closed server
bedawson-Ghost:/tmp/test-socket$ node client.js --host localhost --port 8000
Bootstrap client was closed.
So I got the following results (Attempt 1):
server.js returns:
Start server localhost 8989
Received message from Client
Closed server
client.js returns:
Bootstrap client was closed.
(Attempt 2)
server.js:
Start server 127.0.0.1 8787
Received message from Client
Closed server
client.js:
Bootstrap client was closed.
(Attempt 3)
server.js:
Start server localhost 8000
Received message from Client
Closed server
client.js:
Bootstrap client was closed.
I’m starting to think on the idea of backing-up my ghost blog and install afresh.
So I went ahead in backing-up my ghost blog and then reinstalled everything.
I am using the same database and moved the content directory from the old installation to the new one.
Everything is working like a charm! Thanks for your time and support @Kate
Let me know if I can help you further in solving this issue.
@Kate I followed @cedric’s lead and after backing-up everything, uninstalled and started from scratch with the latest ghost-cli.
Worked like a charm, I’m up and running; thanks for the help!
Glad to hear it’s working now! 
Sad we weren’t able to figure out the reason for your behaviour.
I guess it’s a weird underlying issue with how Ghost was setup. From what i have seen, the blog wasn’t restarted on ghost restart, which would explain the timeout.
