🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 62 ✨
On the two month anniversary of signing up for my first VPS, I have just purchased a second basic plan: a VPS that runs on Ubuntu so I can self-host Ghost on it.
Later today I will attempt manually installing Ghost with commands - wish me luck!
In case you're wondering why I'm doing this, check my previous messages. TL;DR: Ghost now only officially supports Ubuntu and MySQL, whereas YunoHost runs on Debian, with MariaDB databases. A very generous volunteer at YunoHost has been manually patching Ghost packages to ensure compatibility, but I would rather play it by the book and run a self-hosted Ghost blog on a supported system... especially since they will be federating very soon.
Wish me luck!
