[!NOTE] Love open source? We're hiring! Ghost is looking staff engineers to join the team and work with us full-time

Fiercely independent, professional publishing. Ghost is the most popular open source, headless Node.js CMS which already works with all the tools you know and love.

 

Ghost(Pro) Ghost(Pro)

The easiest way to get a production instance deployed is with our official Ghost(Pro) managed service. It takes about 2 minutes to launch a new site with worldwide CDN, backups, security and maintenance all done for you.

For most people this ends up being the best value option because of how much time it saves — and 100% of revenue goes to the Ghost Foundation; funding the maintenance and further development of the project itself. So you’ll be supporting open source software and getting a great service!

 

Quickstart install

If you want to run your own instance of Ghost, in most cases the best way is to use our CLI tool

npm install ghost-cli -g

 

Then, if installing locally add the local flag to get up and running in under a minute - Local install docs

ghost install local

 

or on a server run the full install, including automatic SSL setup using LetsEncrypt - Production install docs

ghost install

 

Check out our official documentation for more information about our recommended hosting stack & properly upgrading Ghost, plus everything you need to develop your own Ghost themes or work with our API.

这是什么?Ghost 是一个开源发布平台,可用于运营博客、电子通讯、会员服务和付费订阅。
这是我要导入的库,还是我要以服务器形式运行的完整应用?它是一个完整的自托管网页应用,以 Node.js 服务器的形式运行;你也可以选择通过托管服务 Ghost(Pro) 使用,而不是将其作为库导入。
我该怎么让它运行起来?使用官方的 Ghost CLI 工具:加上本地参数即可快速完成本地设置;或在服务器上运行完整安装,该方式还会通过 Let's Encrypt 自动配置 SSL。
我必须自己托管吗?还是有托管方案可选?你可以通过 CLI 免费自托管,也可以省去维护工作,直接使用 Ghost(Pro)。它是官方托管服务,包含 CDN、备份、安全防护和日常维护。
Ghost 是为谁设计的?Ghost 面向独立出版人、记者和创作者,帮助他们运营博客、电子通讯,或会员及订阅站点,无需依赖封闭的平台。
我能否把自托管的分支版本改成我自己的“Ghost”品牌?代码采用 MIT 许可证,你可以自由修改和自托管;但“Ghost”和 Ghost 标志是注册商标,因此将分支版本改名或以“Ghost”品牌发布,受商标政策限制。
Ghost(Pro) 的收入去向何处?Ghost(Pro) 的全部收入(100%)都将捐给 Ghost 基金会,用于支持开源项目的维护和后续开发。
