Deploying Ghost.io

Questions / Help
1

I’m really interested in hosting a blog via Fly.io and was curious if there was any documentation around deploying ghost.io on fly.io? I seem to have trouble when attempting to deploy the provided Dockerfile

When you say trouble can you provide any specific error messages you get when deploying? That could help debug the issue.

Else could this be any help? https://github.com/fly-apps/ghost-litestream

In my attempt to deploy the Ghost.io blog onto Fly.io I copied the following files locally and ran fly deploy.

The logs displayed the following:

Hmm well I haven’t looked at the Dockerfile to see exactly what it’s up to, however given it fails at the docker-entrypoint.sh, that would be the first thing to debug.

Since you say you have a local copy, first thing permissions-wise would be to check that is executable. Docker has its own file system but will copy permissions too. So in the folder the docker-entrypoint is in:

chmod +x docker-entrypoint.sh

… and then your local copy definitely is executable. So try another deploy. And see what happens.

Hello,

I justed publised a feedback on Fly.io if you’re still interested: DigitalOcean to Fly.io

Happy reading!
