How to install Ghost alongside CyberPanel on Ubuntu 20.04 without Docker

Leave a reply

If you have a Ubuntu server with CyberPanel installed, and want to install a Ghost blog on that same server, here are step by step directions on how to do that.

The latest version of Ghost (5.x) encourages (and soon requires) MySQL 8. If your CyberPanel server has MariaDB installed, you have a three options:

  1. Use remote database server with MySQL 8.
    • Pro: Meets requirements. Con: Need to set up remote database.
  2. Configure SQLite if you don’t want to bother with MySQL 8.
    • Pro: No need for remote database. Con: Data stored on file system. Not scalable.
  3. Install MySQL 8 on your CyberPanel in parallel to MariaDB.
    • Pro: Meets requirements. Con: New database system just for Ghost.

I’ll be using a remote MySQL 8 database, simply because I already have a separate server with that set up, but I’ll include a note on how to set up SQLite if you just want to take Ghost for a spin.

Enable auto index on website hosted on Ubuntu with CyberPanel and OpenLiteSpeed

I have a server at DigitalOcean with Ubuntu, CyberPanel, and OpenLiteSpeed, and wanted one of my websites to display an auto index of all the files uploaded to it.

There is a default.php script in /usr/local/lsws/share/autoindex that simulates Apache’s auto index, which suffices for my needs, but if you don’t want to use the default, you could copy and edit default.php to create your own template.

index  {
  useServer   1
  indexFiles  index.php, index.html
  autoIndex   1
}
