La interfaz del software de blogs Ghost se está traduciendo al español. ¿Crees que es mejor usar un lenguaje formal con Usted o informal con Tú?

On the forum, two of the most common sentiments I see in posts are “Docker is great!” And “Why isn’t my app working when I run it with Docker?”

If you don’t need the isolation, consider removing the abstraction layer that’s adding the complexity that makes problems more likely to happen to harder to diagnose.

@sahil I don't recommend self-hosting email now either.

But I question using Nginx Proxy Manager when Nginx itself is easy to learn. Especially for a single app.

And I question using Docker compose when your virtual machine is literally hosting just one app.

When I help people on the forums, nearly all questions come from people with these more complex setups, not the officially supported simple "wizard" which helps you interactively configure the app, setup Nginx, SSL and systemd

If you need a simple blog with a newsletter and maybe subscriptions, consider Ghost 👻 instead you of

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while, but I finally moved my blog into my self hosted network. And here is it's first inaugural post!

Hey and users. Looking for a new blog framework that isn't just awful and locked-in. Very tired of bloat. And just doesn't work without Node JS. So, maybe ? But if I go self-hosted then I'm either asking my web host to support it or I'm having to learn about running my own virtualised server. At that point, I might as well just use WP! Any recommendations?

I'm debating if I should allow user sign ups on my seerofsouls.com website or not.

If I do, this would allow users to comment on the posts. The downfall to this is toxicity in comments or even spam in the comments, which I really don't want to deal with.

Anyone else that's using Ghost Blog at DigitalOcean, what are your thoughts on this and how easy is it to moderate the comments if they are allowed?

After working on my site: seerofsouls.com/ most of the day, I've got it looking decently good I feel.

It's even got 8 posts that I copied over from my other site, decryptedgamer.com which I'm getting rid of completely and a few from techdissected.com which I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet. It's 11+ years old at this point.

This is for all of you HTML/CSS experts out there!

On my site, seerofsouls.com I'm wanting to get rid of the Powered By Ghost that you see in the bottom right hand corner of all pages, but I'm not sure how.

I have the ability to add custom code to the site, so I'm guessing I can do it that way.

Anyone know how to accomplish this by chance?

I'd appreciate some code help!

I decided to take everything of importance from my DecryptedGamer.com website and put it on SeerOfSouls.com website that I set up this morning.

I'm done dealing with the bloat of WordPress and all that it is.

There will be more content coming as I move some things over from TechDissected.com as well.

Today my site I'm close to retiring had 3 visits tracked by Matomo, but nearly 5,000 requests in the Nginx logs due to the massive volume of junk traffic. My sites don't have that problem.

8.6% all HTTP requests answered by Nginx today-- about 1,000, have been malicious request for `wp-login.php`. I really need to get my last site shutdown.

By contrast, the 3 sites I host attracted zero malicious login attempts today.

@markstos I get you! I'm in the same boat, but I have maybe a bit more time than you for such things being semi-retired. I'm currently weighing up simplicity, functionality & cost. I do love the subscription & newsletter stuff on , could be very useful. Just need to review my planned business model.

@jordankettner @darrylxxx will provide you Admin API key right in the admin interface. With it, it would not be hard with a little coding experience to iterate over the posts, scan the text for words and then issue Edit API calls to add tags to the post.
