I’m trying to configure the 1-click Ghost droplet for my site. I want it installed in a subdirectory, which I set as the URL while configuring the droplet (example.com/blog) and it is installed as expected. When I then try to visit example.com, I get a 403 error since there is no homepage. I want to setup a static HTML file for this homepage at example.com. I’m having trouble figuring out where to place this index.html file when using SFTP to connect to the server. Does anyone know where I should place this file?

Figured it out - if others need it for future reference, place your index.html file at /var/www/ghost/system/nginx-root and change permissions to 644 (chmod 644 index.html)
