#Ghost

This is a good piece on #Flipboard joining the #Fediverse.
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/technology/mike-mccue-surf-browser-decentralized-internet.html

It touches on #Ghost, #Medium, and #WordPress, and doesn't mention traditional #publishers. But it makes me wonder. Will traditional publishers ever join the Fediverse? What will it take to persuade to them try, even as an experiment? Who will go first? How can we help?

🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 77 ✨

This morning I'm attempting a manual install of #Fail2Ban (that is, with commands, no YunoHost) on my #Ubuntu VPS.

I've been greatly enjoying Fail2Ban on my #Debian VPS and I'd like to extend the same protections to the VPS with my self-hosted #Ghost blog.

I hope nothing goes wrong because I have a video call with Stanford students at the study abroad program in Florence at 11am (for a women in cinema class, I'm invited every year)... so I don't wanna feel distracted by tech issues, ha!

#MySoCalledSudoLife

Curious if anyone has experience making #ghost cms themes looking for some paid freelance work. I’d love for a relatively minimalist theme for my site and I frankly suck at front end work a lot. Shoot me a dm and we can work out a quote.

🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 69 ✨

Mondays mean: manually backing up my #YunoHost setup on my Debian VPS (even if my VPS host does daily backups). And now a new routine: doing (taking?) snapshots of my second VPS (that runs on Ubuntu and has a self-hosted #Ghost installation on it, sans YunoHost).

I've managed to accomplish a lot of things lately, self-hosting-wise, but I am not immune to REALLY idiotic gestures.

Today I had a mini heart attack: I was cleaning up the backups in my YunoHost dashboard (deleting old ones that were taking up disk space) and accidentally hit "restore" on a 3-week old backup file instead of "delete." I cannot even blame this on distraction caused by my child because she was playing downstairs with grandma.

So what did I do? I immediately closed the browser window that was processing the restore action and said a little prayer.

Then I checked my self-hosted GoToSocial = normal. Ditto for Pixelfed. But! When I tried to log onto my YunoHost dashboard it was all blank. I did so in another browser in incognito mode, same result.

Heart palpitations increased.

But then I checked again in 5 minutes and everything was back to normal.

I will make sure to triple-check which button I'm pressing whenever I'm in the YunoHost Backups page in the future. No mindless gestures or distractions allowed. I just got really lucky today 😅​

#MySoCalledSudoLife

@_elena @elena Thanks for sharing your experience with #Ghost! Just wish that it will become easier to install and #selfhost in the future so you won't need to try 3 times...

@jonhickman?

Good morning Fedi friends!

It seems like on the 22nd day of the month I manage to achieve #selfhosting feats 🤗

Dec 22nd: I installed #GoToSocial on my Debian VPS thanks to the magic of #YunoHost: @elena

Feb 22nd: after many attempts and 3 wipes of my Ubuntu VPS (following botched installations) I finally managed to install #Ghost 🥳 https://aseachange.com/@elena/statuses/01JMPN122E41Q1G9280WZMD1RF

I think I can sit back and relax now for the rest of the weekend. LEGOs here I come

#MySoCalledSudoLife

🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 67 ✨

I finally managed to install #Ghost on my new Ubuntu VPS using commands... I feel like crying tears of joy!

How long did it take me? A couple of hours (thus my enthusiasm right now).

I had to wipe my VPS multiple times following botched installations, research articles on the issues, then went back to my VPS host to try it all over again. The third time today was really the charm, as they say 🥳🪩🎊

Maybe one day I will write a guide to installing Ghost for TOTAL newbies because the issues I had are a little embarrassing to share. Like, for example, running this command:

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH 'mysql_native_password' BY '<your-new-root-password>';

where instead of keeping the code 'mysql_native_password' I actually entered my REAL password 🤦‍♀️ yes I finally realized that the only things I need to customize are usually between brackets (and I don't have to use the brackets). Silly stuff like that.

This particular issue didn't make my installation fail, but for example for my SQL hostname I would put my actual IPv4 address and that always failed. Using 127.0.0.1 did the trick.

Little things like that.

I literally let out a little scream when I saw the green text "Ghost was installed successfully!"

And now excuse me but I'll go celebrate with a little cup of espresso.

Thanks for all your generous offers to help me and especially for encouraging me to try the installation the "hard" way - AKA with commands. It feels like an awesome accomplishment 💪

#MySoCalledSudoLife #Ubuntu

Good morning! 🌞

A #MySoCalledSudoLife update: your replies yesterday convinced me to try one more time to install #Ghost with commands, thus bypassing “easy” solutions like PaaS (platforms as a service) that do the job for you (Coolify, CasaOS, Dokploy).

My main reason for this, really: I don’t want to rely on something that - if it is discontinued - holds all the power on my Ghost installation. So going the sudo way.

Now, I’ve been doing a bit of reasearch on alternatives to PaaS that make the Ubuntu experience more accessible to newbies and I stumbled upon #Cockpit, a web-based graphical interface for servers: https://cockpit-project.org/ I think it may be a nice compromise? Do you have any opinions about it?

I could wipe my Ubuntu VPS today (the one with the botched Ghost installation), try installing Ghost again with commands and then install Cockpit on the server too? I would love your advice about this. Thank you in advance.

I’m SUPER grateful for all your brilliant tips and words of encouragement and I promise I will give back… even if it takes years (for me to become more proficient in this), striving to help fellow newbies out. I never get discouraged because of you ❤️

Wishing you all a lovely day (and keep me posted about Cockpit - yay or nay?)

Thanks to @shellsharks I discovered this fantastic blog post by @micahflee :

#BigTech #publishing #blog

Good morning Fedi friends!

Today marks the 2-month anniversary of my #selfhosting journey: on Dec 17 I signed up for a VPS and installed #YunoHost https://mastodon.social/@_elena/113667636910565210

I have never felt more empowered, tech-wise, than in the past two months. I set up my own #GoToSocial, #Pixelfed and #Friendica instances. Seeing the label "admin" next to my name always makes me smile.

Today I will sign up for a 2nd VPS (that runs on Ubuntu) and manually install #Ghost. Wish me luck!

#MySoCalledSudoLife

Because the wonderful #Ghost will federate soon, it would be supremely foolish to have a self-hosted Ghost instance that runs on an unsupported database architecture.

So, I'm thinking of getting a basic VPS plan for Ghost that runs on Ubuntu (prob Digital Ocean) and I will keep publishing on my Ghost(Pro) plan for now.

The 3 weeks I spent setting up my posts on my self-hosted Debian VPS? That's ok, at least I have a working backup of my account. Swallowing my pride and moving on 🥲

/fin

Today I learned one of the most important lessons in my brief #selfhosting journey so far: the need to swallow your pride and not fall into the trap of the sunk cost fallacy.

A mini thread 🧵

I was a couple of days away from debuting my self-hosted #Ghost instance. Everything was setup, working beautifully... including the integration with Mailgun for my newsletters.

I had spent 3 WEEKS setting this up on my VPS.

Today: surprise!

"meeting people in real life remains one of the best ways to build trust and relationships ... by getting the #NodeBB, #WordPress ActivityPub plugin, #WriteFreely and #Ghost developers together and recognising themselves as the ‘longform’ people. This group of developers getting together this way helps with the various projects becoming more interoperable, and better support for longform content in the #fediverse."

If you or someone you know wants to migrate from #Substack to #Ghost (because the former is in league with Nazis!), but is not technical, I will help FOR FREE.

Social Networks are good for marketing, not good for distribution of longform content says @johnonolan CEO of ghost.org
With ActivityPub interactivity is added to longform.

Good morning Fedi friends!

Rest assured, I have not installed any new Fediverse software since my last post (although I admit YunoHost makes it really tempting).

I'm currently in the process of moving my #Ghost blog from https://blog.elenarossini.com (hosted on a Ghost Pro plan) to my own self-hosted instance. Basically, I just have to re-upload all the images and videos for 33 posts. 10 done / 23 to go.

🙋🏻‍♀️ Can you help a newbie out ❓

Once I'm ready to unveil my new blog – hosted at a subdomain on my site – how do I redirect traffic to it?

(it's gonna look identical, just a different URL, aka different subdomain).

How do I create a redirect from:
subdomain1[dot]elenarossini[dot]com (the GhostPro plan)
to:
subdomain2[dot]elenarossini[dot]com (my self-hosted Ghost)

Is that possible?

Thanks in advance 🙏

#AskFedi

When I booked my train for #FOSDEM in November I was intimidated: will I feel like a fish out of water, since I'm not a developer?

Around that time @ilja recommended I check out @yunohost.

On Dec 17 I signed up for a VPS, installed #YunoHost and in the span of a month I'm now running:
1) a #GoToSocial instance @elena
2) my own #Pixelfed @ele
3) a #LinkStack
4) a #Ghost blog (upcoming)

So I'm a little less intimidated (but still a newbie).

Excited to connect with so many familiar faces 😊

🏕️​ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 37 ✨​

I have installed #Ghost on my personal website, uploaded the theme I'm using on https://blog.elenarossini.com and moved over all the posts.

All the media files (photos / videos / bookmarks) are broken/in need of replacement, so I'm giving myself a month for the transfer (I've got 33 articles to fix).

Why did I do it?

I'm spending 31 dollars a month on a Ghost(Pro) plan. That's ok, I figured if I give up on 2 takeaways a month, that covers it.

The issue wasn't financial. It was about control and ownership of my content.

If I missed a payment or if something happened and I couldn't take care of it, I risked losing all my content. In the blink of an eye. This thought has been haunting me for months.

I will need to pay about $15/month to MailGun to deliver my self-hosted Ghost posts as newsletters. But that's totally fine. I feel like I'm now fully in control of my content and that feels incredibly empowering and liberating. One less thing to worry about.

Thank you ​ for empowering me to do this! ❤️​

#MySoCalledSudoLife

@mensrea @bloor yes indeed, I'm OBSESSED with ​

0 coding / dev skills and in the span of a month I'm now self-hosting my own #GoToSocial and #Pixelfed instances, #Phanpy, #LinkStack (https://elena.social) and soon two #Ghost blogs. Ask me anything 🤗​

#NodeBB: "We're not alone in this journey to interoperate with other decentralized services.

#Discourse has a working plugin.
#Ghost is building out in the open.

It's always been a bit of an informal competition between us, and we always checked in on what the others were doing.

The funny thing about #ActivityPub (#TheEqualizer) is that at the end of the day, the overarching goal of seamless communication breaks down any barriers between competing organizations."

I'm looking to do two things: first, write about likely tech politics and open source. This will likely be a conventional old school blog.

Second, possibly separately, I'm looking to write up notes from my physics studies. This will necessitate solid LaTeX support.

But uh..

#Substack is basically #Ghost but not self-hosted, is that right?

Meh

What has been on my mind today: the high costs of digital sovereignty and privacy.

I quit #Substack and pay 30€ a month for a Creator plan on #Ghost (approx. 360 Euros a year).

I quit Dropbox in favor of #Proton Unlimited (drive but also mail, calendar. VPN). 119 Euros/year.

I nuked my Google Analytics accounts in favor of #Plausible (90 Euros/year).

I'm HAPPY to pay for these services & yet I'm highly aware of my privilege.

#BigTech won't fade in popularity anytime soon bc it's free 😩

Wondering how much work it would be to stick together #Fedify and an as-of-yet-unidentified #PDS framework to have a #Ghost blog be on both #ActivityPub and #Bluesky natively at once.

As a side note, most of the new features added in this #Fedify release were commissioned by #Ghost.

https://hollo.social/@fedify/01937890-0cbd-7bee-97eb-08918829d091

The work #ghost is doing to their #fediverse integration is pretty interesting. 😎 Like having long and short distinction, for consuming content, on the UI. It sounds obvious, but not as wide use. Maybe #Substack does this? 🤔

Ghost versatility may make it excellent for single user instances.
Example, same thing you use for publishing long form content is same tool you use to spam about pugs. 🐶 All without polluting the streams. Very nice. 😄

For at least a few weeks now #Ghost powered newsletters in #Feedly (at least on Android) are all really narrow. Temporary workaround is to switch to landscape orientation. This is a relatively new situation, they were fine a month or two back, don't know if it was a Feedly or Ghost change that broke things.

What I don’t like about the #Wordpress implementation of #ActivityPub is that I see the whole damn post, long-form and unformatted, in my feed. Let’s hope #ghost does it better.

@index Great news indeed! After you successfully implemented #ActivityPub inside #Ghost, will you consider creating official iPhone, iPad & Android apps for the platform‽

@craignicol Know what you mean - and I moved from #Mozilla to #Vivaldi for just this reason.

Hate to see the crazy turmoil happening at Automattic, hope they reorient, but if not, there are plenty of CMS's and #Ghost @ghost is building out its ActivtyPub features in a very promising way.

@index if this integration of Ghost with Activity Pub works well, I'll possibly choose as the open source tool to start blogging again.

What a week!

I discovered the FediForum unconference on Mastodon and spent the next three days learning about ActivityPub, web fingers and hooks, and the history and politics of federated social media from some of the originators. I’ll have to level up my technical skills, again. I spent a few hours finding, learning about, and following folks across Mastodon instances and then closing scores of tabs.
#FediForum #Reflection #Ghost #Fediverse

https://talkingwithmachines.com/what-a-week/

Interesting #ActivityPub implementation roadmap by the #Ghost team: instead of implementing the standard, and then optimizing interop of their implementation with other implementors like Mastodon, they start with making it work with other implementations and then come back to the standard.

https://activitypub.ghost.org/mapping-out-activitypub-support/

The #Ghost people are doing excellent #ActivityPub marketing with their weekly newsletters, such as today’s. I don’t agree with some of the details of their points of view, but that doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things, they are doing a great service educating potential users beyond the niche of today’s typical Mastodon users. Recommended.

And you can get the newsletter by following @index

https://activitypub.ghost.org/its-all-about-the-infrastructure/

Newsletter platform and Substack rival @ghost announced earlier this year that it would join the fediverse, and now it has made good on that promise by federating its first newsletter.

Writes @Sarahp
for @TechCrunch “By offering a federated version of the newsletter, readers will have more choices on how they want to subscribe. That is, instead of only being able to follow the newsletter via email or the web, they also can track it using RSS or ActivityPub-powered apps, like Mastodon and others.”

I switched servers just under a week ago so I figured I should do a proper #Introduction post. I’ve been on Mastodon since 2017 but never actually written a proper intro!

My name’s Sally Monster (she/her) and I’m a British northerner who immigrated to Southern California a bit over a decade ago because I fell for guy named Viss on Flickr after he posted a photo of a #HalfLife HeadCrab he made out of bread!

I’m a bit of a #KitchenWitch at heart; sharing #Food with people I love gives me a sense of wellbeing. I believe wholeheartedly in BenGingi’s motto, “We are all bread.”

I’m happiest when I have soil under my finger nails, I have a favorite tree, I talk to birds, I chase creepy crawlies and I love growing weird and wonderful #Plants especially #CarnivorousPlants and #SpicyPeppers.

I’m into #Art, #Painting, #Drawing and #Photography and will post pictures often of the things that I love. I have all sorts of random collections and obsessions; #Dinosaurs, robins, #Radiohead, #Monsters, the colour green, #JurassicPark, #Cookbooks, #TheVentureBros, #Ghost, #GothicHorror, #FolkTales, cassowaries …you get the picture.

I love it here on Mastodon. I have met so many amazing people here and I am so grateful for this community. Sending love and hugs out to all of you. 💚 🧡

A nice review of my high #fantasy /attempted #comedy story The Last Philosopher.

If I could be just one thing, it would be the #ghost of #TerryPratchett or maybe #DouglasAdams #GNUTerryPratchett
