How do I install Ghost?
Pick one of your servers, choose Ghost from the one-click catalog and give it a domain. Nuvlo starts the containers with generated passwords, points the domain and issues the certificate.
What size server does Ghost need?
Standard. Fine on a small server; give it some headroom if the server is busy.
What happens after install?
Visit /ghost on first launch to finish the setup wizard and create your owner account.
Is Ghost backed up?
Yes. Apps are sites like any other, so they use the same backup schedules and your own storage bucket.
Who updates Ghost?
You do. Ghost keeps the version it was installed with; to move to a newer release, pull the new image on the server over SSH. The dashboard has no update button for apps.
Does Nuvlo charge per app?
No. You pay your Nuvlo plan and your cloud provider for the server, and Ghost itself is free to self-host.
