[–] tannerbrockwell 12y ago ↗ Not obvious from skimming the about page the entire project is written in node.js. Here is a ten step installation guide. http://ghosted.co/install-ghost-digitalocean [–] thecolorblue 12y ago ↗ 10 steps is way to long. Also, why are they including nginx? Is it a requirement of the host? [–] martindale 12y ago ↗ nginx is generally a better "web server" than node.js is -- it's good at doing things like storing/caching static files, and serving as a proxy to a more complex application behind it (Ghost, in this case). [–] cadab 12y ago ↗ To be fair to them, the first 5 steps is just about getting a domain and server hooked up. [–] nopassrecover 12y ago ↗ I was surprised to see that you can also host on WebFaction pretty easily (I know many have an account there already). http://www.howtoinstallghost.com/how-to-install-ghost-on-web...
