📋 Additional Information (optional)

To make the setup easy, the script sets up Ghost using localhost as a domain (ghost doesn't support IPs) and listens on 0.0.0.0 to still receive requests from the outside. It's normally designed to run with a domain in production, or on your local machine for testing (not on another in your network), but for a plug-and-play solution, this works well.
You are also required to run ghost commands as a non-root user, so the script also creates the "ghost-user" for that. I mention this in the json file, in case the user needs access to them (starting and stopping can still be done by root as it's a service).

I am also getting an error after the OS updates are completed. Running in verbose mode provides the following:

✔️  Updated Container OS
Reading package lists... Done

Package mysql-server is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'mysql-server' has no installation candidate

Either the mysql-server dependency should likely be changed to mariadb-server, or the script should add the official MySQL repository to apt so it can be installed from the official releases. I don't think Debian keeps MySQL in their repos anymore.

test again please

@MickLesk Improvement! I see the script installing MariaDB now instead of MySQL, and it gets much further in the process. However, it runs into this:

✔ Setting up Systemd
+ sudo systemctl is-active ghost_localhost
+ sudo systemctl start ghost_localhost
+ sudo systemctl stop ghost_localhost
✖ Starting Ghost
One or more errors occurred.

1) GhostError

Message: Ghost was able to start, but errored during boot with: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'
Help: Unknown database error
Suggestion: journalctl -u ghost_localhost -n 50

Debug Information:
    OS: Debian GNU/Linux, v12
    Node Version: v20.18.1
    Ghost Version: 5.105.0
    Ghost-CLI Version: 1.26.1
    Environment: production
    Command: 'ghost install --db=mysql --dbhost=localhost --dbuser=root --dbpass=LpJ7qf2Jpmn6V --dbname=ghost --url=http://localhost:2368 --no-prompt --no-setup-nginx --no-setup-ssl --no-setup-mysql --enable --start --ip 0.0.0.0'

Try running ghost doctor to check your system for known issues.

You can always refer to https://ghost.org/docs/ghost-cli/ for troubleshooting.

[ERROR] in line 68: exit code 0: while executing command sudo -u ghost-user -H sh -c "cd /var/www/ghost && ghost install --db=mysql --dbhost=localhost --dbuser=root --dbpass=$DB_PASS --dbname=ghost --url=http://localhost:2368 --no-prompt --no-setup-nginx --no-setup-ssl --no-setup-mysql --enable --start --ip 0.0.0.0"

Looks like the script can't use the root account on MariaDB?

[fabrice1236]

I implemented a fix in #1408

[neilcrew]

I note that the script installs with MariaDB but Ghost recommends using My SQL. Any reason for this and any prospect for moving to MySQL?

[MickLesk]

Logic is the Same? MariaDB use MySQL ?

[neilcrew]

Maybe so, but it does display a warning.
