## Ghost Publishing Platform by cloudimg
Ghost is a modern open source publishing platform used to run blogs, newsletters, magazines and membership websites by independent creators and businesses worldwide. This Amazon Machine Image delivers Ghost fully installed and configured, so a complete publishing platform is running within minutes of launch. The current release available is Ghost 5.
## Application Stack
The image runs Ghost on Node.js 20 LTS, the nginx web server reverse-proxying to Ghost on port 80, and MySQL 8 for the database tier. Ghost-CLI is installed and available for upgrades, backups and configuration.
## Secure First Boot
On the first boot of every instance a one shot service generates a fresh MySQL password and a fresh Ghost administrator password, unique to that instance, and writes them to a root only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
## Ready To Use
The Ghost code tree, web server and database are all configured. Browse to the instance address, sign in at /ghost to create posts, manage members, configure themes and connect newsletters.
