How to upgrade Ghost
If you are using a self-hosted Ghost, you may have sometimes to upgrade it to the new release.
To do that, you have at first to download the latest Ghost release.
For that create a new folder next your current Ghost folder and download Ghost :
mkdir newghostfolder && cd newghostfolder
wget https://ghost.org/zip/ghost-latest.zip
unzip ghost-latest.zip
You can make a copy of your current ghost folder and you will have to remove the index.js
, all the .md
and .json
and the core
folder. But do not delete the config.js
file.
Then you will have to stop the current Ghost instance by using :
forever stop index.js
Copy the new files over your current folder, and install the new dependencies with :
npm install --production
After than you can restart your instance
NODE_ENV=production forever start index.js
