Hi,
Based on these instructions from DO I am trying to restart Ghost (so the handlebar file changes shown) https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-and-maintain-ghost-from-the-command-line
Step 1: logged into Console (via DO site)
Step 2: Tried at these directories cd /var/www/ghost/content/themes/ cd /var/www/ghost/ cd /var/www/
Step 3: Trying this command service ghost restart
also tried these
sudo service ghost stop sudo service ghost start
then tried these
sudo systemctl restart ghost sudo systemctl restart nginx
** getting this message Failed to restart ghost.service: Unit ghost.service not found.
I then read that “ghost” is not a service per the thread below but the commands in this article didn’t work either. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/ghost-start-and-stop-ubuntu-service-command
I am new to this so any help would be appreciated.

This is an old question but it’s still ranking top on Google search so it’s worth to mention a possible solutions:
Use Ghost-CLI
The reason I was having the same problem was because in my instance ghost service was running with a different name than
ghost, it was actuallyghost-<project>-com.Hope it helps.
