Summer is Here. Ghost in a Subdomain
I can’t believe summer is here already. Well technically it is not summer yet. We are still in the rainy season. But not for long. I've noticed that our region often experiences a sudden spike in temperatures around this time of year, similar to what I discussed in It is Going Now. And the humidity is high.
If you're considering using Ghost, you can read about my hands-on experience with it in this post, where I found it to be a user-friendly option.
The hardest part was setting up the subdomain. I finally figured out how to set up the subdomain! This process is similar to what I detailed when moving away from Ghost, but in this case, it's for setting up a subdomain
Then If you're interested in learning more about configuring NGINX, I wrote about my experience setting up Laravel on a new server in 'Move Away From Ghost Platform'.
server{ listen 80; server_name yourservernamehere; location / { proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:xxxx; }}
and that was it. The last line for proxy_pass is for ghost, since it runs on nodejs. You have to replace xxxx with the port you are running that instance of node on.
Pretty easy, huh? Just took me a bit of searching and testing. Actually, this is my third round trying, and it took me about an hour to set it up. Now, having done it, I probably could do it as www.lesperras.com/blog, but I am happy with blog.lesperras.com in a sense it looks cooler.
I am pretty happy with ghost. very simple to use. And lightning fast.
