If I want to run several ghost sites on a single droplet, how can I modify the config files to handle this? I am totally unfamiliar with nginx and the way it works.
Is their a tutorial on how to setup multiple ghost installations on the same machine or even a tutorial on setting up hosts on nginx and Digital Ocean’s Ubuntu configuration?
Thanks.
This tutorial should point you in the write direction:
The key things to remember is that you need to have DNS configured correctly for each blog. The Nginx configurations must also set the server_name directive so that requests are routed correctly. In the Ghost blogs’ config.js files, you’ll need to edit the url and port values. The tutorial walks you through it.
Got it. Perfect, thanks.
One thing the tutorial doesn’t really touch on though is the database that’s going to be used. It looks like then all the sites will share the same database. Is that OK? Is that desirable?
Thanks.
@setec By default, Ghost will create a new sqllite database for each instance with the data stored in /path/to/ghost/content/data/ghost.db It can also be configured to use MySQL or Postgres.
