One-button Heroku deploy for the Ghost blogging platform.

Ghost on Heroku

Ghost is a free, open, simple blogging platform. Visit the project's website at http://ghost.org, or read the docs on http://support.ghost.org.

Deploying on Heroku

To get your own Ghost blog running on Heroku, click the button below:

Fill out the form, and you should be cooking with gas in a few seconds.

Things you should know

• After deployment, visit the admin area at YOURAPPNAME.herokuapp.com/ghost to set up your blog.

• Your blog will be publicly accessible at YOURAPPNAME.herokuapp.com.

• To make changes to your Ghost blog (like adding a theme to the /content directory, for instance), clone your blog locally using the Heroku Toolbelt:

  heroku git:clone --app YOURAPPNAME

• Image uploads are disabled when deployed to Heroku, since Heroku app filesystems aren’t meant for permanent storage. If this is a problem for you, you should look into other ways to host your site.

How this works

This repository is essentially a minimal web application that specifies Ghost as a dependency, and makes a deploy button available.

Problems?

If you have problems using your instance of Ghost, you should check the official documentation or open an issue on the official issue tracker. If you discover an issue with the deployment process provided by this repository, then open an issue here.
