If you feel like customizing your ghost theme, there are many local development methods. In this post, Iโ€™d like to share how to install ghost with Docker ๐Ÿณ (There will be another toturial on how to customize our theme. Wait for me ๐Ÿ™‡โ€โ™€๏ธ)

  1. Install Docker on Windows
  2. Install ghost with Docker

Wait, what is ghost?

In short, ghost is an open source, professional publishing platform. Here is the official introduction (It has built-in membership & subscription commerce features ๐Ÿคฉ).

Hmmmโ€ฆ then why use docker?

With docker, we can separate our applications from our infrastructure. It isolates code into a single container, making it easier to modify and update the program. (You can learn more about docker in this link ๐ŸŽฌ)

Install docker on Windows

  1. In this site, click โ€œDownload Docker Desktop for Windowsโ€
  2. Download and install WSL2 Linux kernal (It will ask us to restart the device.)
