Ghost is a powerful, open-source publishing platform designed for professional journalists and bloggers. It provides a beautiful editor, built-in SEO tools, native newsletter and subscription support, and a membership system — all self-hosted with full control over your content and audience.
Install Flow
How to self-host Ghost
Ghost can be deployed with standard Docker Compose using the Yantr app catalog. This page collects the basic information searchers usually need first: what Ghost does, which Docker image Yantr uses, default ports, deployment notes, and where to find the original compose template.
After deployment, Yantr lets you publish additional ports from the stack page using Docker-style syntax. Use 8080:8080 for a fixed host port or just 8080 to let Docker assign a random port.
Use Cases
