|
## ⚠️ Important Notice: Upcoming changes to the Bitnami Catalog
|
|
|
|
Beginning August 28th, 2025, Bitnami will evolve its public catalog to offer a curated set of hardened, security-focused images under the new [Bitnami Secure Images initiative](https://news.broadcom.com/app-dev/broadcom-introduces-bitnami-secure-images-for-production-ready-containerized-applications). As part of this transition:
|
|
|
|
- Granting community users access for the first time to security-optimized versions of popular container images.
|
|
- Bitnami will begin deprecating support for non-hardened, Debian-based software images in its free tier and will gradually remove non-latest tags from the public catalog. As a result, community users will have access to a reduced number of hardened images. These images are published only under the “latest” tag and are intended for development purposes
|
|
- Starting August 28th, over two weeks, all existing container images, including older or versioned tags (e.g., 2.50.0, 10.6), will be migrated from the public catalog (docker.io/bitnami) to the “Bitnami Legacy” repository (docker.io/bitnamilegacy), where they will no longer receive updates.
|
|
- For production workloads and long-term support, users are encouraged to adopt Bitnami Secure Images, which include hardened containers, smaller attack surfaces, CVE transparency (via VEX/KEV), SBOMs, and enterprise support.
|
|
|
|
These changes aim to improve the security posture of all Bitnami users by promoting best practices for software supply chain integrity and up-to-date deployments. For more details, visit the [Bitnami Secure Images announcement](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/issues/83267).
|
|
|
|
## Why use Bitnami Secure Images?
|
|
|
|
- Bitnami Secure Images and Helm charts are built to make open source more secure and enterprise ready.
|
|
- Triage security vulnerabilities faster, with transparency into CVE risks using industry standard Vulnerability Exploitability Exchange (VEX), KEV, and EPSS scores.
|
|
- Our hardened images use a minimal OS (Photon Linux), which reduces the attack surface while maintaining extensibility through the use of an industry standard package format.
|
|
- Stay more secure and compliant with continuously built images updated within hours of upstream patches.
|
|
- Bitnami containers, virtual machines and cloud images use the same components and configuration approach - making it easy to switch between formats based on your project needs.
|
|
- Hardened images come with attestation signatures (Notation), SBOMs, virus scan reports and other metadata produced in an SLSA-3 compliant software factory.
|
|
|
|
Only a subset of BSI applications are available for free. Looking to access the entire catalog of applications as well as enterprise support? Try the [commercial edition of Bitnami Secure Images today](https://www.arrow.com/globalecs/uk/products/bitnami-secure-images/).

|
|
|
## How to deploy Ghost in Kubernetes?
|
|
|
|
Deploying Bitnami applications as Helm Charts is the easiest way to get started with our applications on Kubernetes. Read more about the installation in the [Bitnami Ghost Chart GitHub repository](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/master/bitnami/ghost).
|
|
|
|
## Why use a non-root container?
|
|
|
|
Non-root container images add an extra layer of security and are generally recommended for production environments. However, because they run as a non-root user, privileged tasks are typically off-limits. Learn more about non-root containers [in our docs](https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-tanzu/application-catalog/tanzu-application-catalog/services/tac-doc/apps-tutorials-work-with-non-root-containers-index.html).
|
|
|
|
## Supported tags and respective `Dockerfile` links
|
|
|
|
Learn more about the Bitnami tagging policy and the difference between rolling tags and immutable tags [in our documentation page](https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-tanzu/application-catalog/tanzu-application-catalog/services/tac-doc/apps-tutorials-understand-rolling-tags-containers-index.html).
|
|
|
|
You can see the equivalence between the different tags by taking a look at the `tags-info.yaml` file present in the branch folder, i.e `bitnami/ASSET/BRANCH/DISTRO/tags-info.yaml`.

|
|
|
|
## Get this image
|
|
|
|
The recommended way to get the Bitnami Ghost Docker Image is to pull the prebuilt image from the [Docker Hub Registry](https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/ghost).
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
docker pull bitnami/ghost:latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To use a specific version, you can pull a versioned tag. You can view the [list of available versions](https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/ghost/tags/) in the Docker Hub Registry.
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
docker pull bitnami/ghost:[TAG]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you wish, you can also build the image yourself by cloning the repository, changing to the directory containing the Dockerfile and executing the `docker build` command. Remember to replace the `APP`, `VERSION` and `OPERATING-SYSTEM` path placeholders in the example command below with the correct values.
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
git clone https://github.com/bitnami/containers.git
|
|
cd bitnami/APP/VERSION/OPERATING-SYSTEM
|
|
docker build -t bitnami/APP:latest .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## How to use this image
|
|
|
|
Ghost requires access to a MySQL or MariaDB database to store information. We'll use the [Bitnami Docker Image for MySQL](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/tree/main/bitnami/mysql) for the database requirements.
|
|
|
|
### Using the Docker Command Line
|
|
|
|
#### Step 1: Create a network
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
docker network create ghost-network
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Step 2: Create a volume for MySQL persistence and create a MySQL container
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ docker volume create --name mysql_data
|
|
docker run -d --name mysql \
|
|
--env ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
|
|
--env MYSQL_USER=bn_ghost \
|
|
--env MYSQL_PASSWORD=bitnami \
|
|
--env MYSQL_DATABASE=bitnami_ghost \
|
|
--network ghost-network \
|
|
--volume mysql_data:/bitnami/mysql \
|
|
bitnami/mysql:latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Step 3: Create volumes for Ghost persistence and launch the container
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ docker volume create --name ghost_data
|
|
docker run -d --name ghost \
|
|
-p 8080:8080 -p 8443:8443 \
|
|
--env ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
|
|
--env GHOST_DATABASE_USER=bn_ghost \
|
|
--env GHOST_DATABASE_PASSWORD=bitnami \
|
|
--env GHOST_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_ghost \
|
|
--network ghost-network \
|
|
--volume ghost_data:/bitnami/ghost \
|
|
bitnami/ghost:latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Access your application at `http://your-ip/`
|
|
|
|
### Run the application using Docker Compose
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitnami/containers/main/bitnami/ghost/docker-compose.yml > docker-compose.yml
|
|
docker-compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Please be aware this file has not undergone internal testing. Consequently, we advise its use exclusively for development or testing purposes. For production-ready deployments, we highly recommend utilizing its associated [Bitnami Helm chart](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/ghost).
|
|
|
|
If you detect any issue in the `docker-compose.yaml` file, feel free to report it or contribute with a fix by following our [Contributing Guidelines](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md).
|
|
|
|
## Persisting your application
|
|
|
|
If you remove the container all your data will be lost, and the next time you run the image the database will be reinitialized. To avoid this loss of data, you should mount a volume that will persist even after the container is removed.
|
|
|
|
For persistence you should mount a directory at the `/bitnami/ghost` path. If the mounted directory is empty, it will be initialized on the first run. Additionally you should [mount a volume for persistence of the MySQL data](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/blob/main/bitnami/mysql#persisting-your-database).
|
|
|
|
The above examples define the Docker volumes named `mysql_data` and `ghost_data`. The Ghost application state will persist as long as volumes are not removed.
|
|
|
|
To avoid inadvertent removal of volumes, you can [mount host directories as data volumes](https://docs.docker.com/engine/tutorials/dockervolumes/). Alternatively you can make use of volume plugins to host the volume data.
|
|
|
|
### Mount host directories as data volumes with Docker Compose
|
|
|
|
This requires a minor change to the [`docker-compose.yml`](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/blob/main/bitnami/ghost/docker-compose.yml) file present in this repository:
|
|
|
|
```diff
|
|
mysql:
|
|
...
|
|
volumes:
|
|
- - mysql_data:/bitnami/mysql
|
|
+ - /path/to/mysql-persistence:/bitnami/mysql
|
|
...
|
|
ghost:
|
|
...
|
|
volumes:
|
|
- - ghost_data:/bitnami/ghost
|
|
+ - /path/to/ghost-persistence:/bitnami/ghost
|
|
...
|
|
-volumes:
|
|
- mysql_data:
|
|
- driver: local
|
|
- ghost_data:
|
|
- driver: local
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> NOTE: As this is a non-root container, the mounted files and directories must have the proper permissions for the UID `1001`.
|
|
|
|
### Mount host directories as data volumes using the Docker command line
|
|
|
|
#### Step 1: Create a network (if it does not exist)
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
docker network create ghost-network
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Step 2. Create a MySQL container with host volume
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
docker run -d --name mysql \
|
|
--env ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
|
|
--env MYSQL_USER=bn_ghost \
|
|
--env MYSQL_PASSWORD=bitnami \
|
|
--env MYSQL_DATABASE=bitnami_ghost \
|
|
--network ghost-network \
|
|
--volume /path/to/mysql-persistence:/bitnami/mysql \
|
|
bitnami/mysql:latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Step 3. Create the Ghost container with host volumes
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
docker run -d --name ghost \
|
|
-p 8080:8080 -p 8443:8443 \
|
|
--env ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
|
|
--env GHOST_DATABASE_USER=bn_ghost \
|
|
--env GHOST_DATABASE_PASSWORD=bitnami \
|
|
--env GHOST_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_ghost \
|
|
--network ghost-network \
|
|
--volume /path/to/ghost-persistence:/bitnami/ghost \
|
|
bitnami/ghost:latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

When you start the Ghost image, you can adjust the configuration of the instance by passing one or more environment variables either on the docker-compose file or on the `docker run` command line. If you want to add a new environment variable:
|
|
|
|
- For docker-compose add the variable name and value under the application section in the [`docker-compose.yml`](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/blob/main/bitnami/ghost/docker-compose.yml) file present in this repository:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
ghost:
|
|
...
|
|
environment:
|
|
- GHOST_PASSWORD=my_password
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- For manual execution add a `--env` option with each variable and value:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ docker run -d --name ghost -p 80:8080 -p 443:8443 \
|
|
--env GHOST_PASSWORD=my_password \
|
|
--network ghost-tier \
|
|
--volume /path/to/ghost-persistence:/bitnami/ghost \
|
|
bitnami/ghost:latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Examples
|
|
|
|
##### SMTP configuration using a Gmail account
|
|
|
|
This would be an example of SMTP configuration using a Gmail account:
|
|
|
|
- Modify the [`docker-compose.yml`](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/blob/main/bitnami/ghost/docker-compose.yml) file present in this repository:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
ghost:
|
|
...
|
|
environment:
|
|
- GHOST_DATABASE_USER=bn_ghost
|
|
- GHOST_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_ghost
|
|
- ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes
|
|
- GHOST_SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
|
|
- GHOST_SMTP_PORT=587
|
|
- GHOST_SMTP_USER=your_email@gmail.com
|
|
- GHOST_SMTP_PASSWORD=your_password
|
|
- GHOST_SMTP_FROM_ADDRESS=ghost@blog.com
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- For manual execution:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ docker run -d --name ghost -p 80:8080 -p 443:8443 \
|
|
--env GHOST_DATABASE_USER=bn_ghost \
|
|
--env GHOST_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_ghost \
|
|
--env GHOST_SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com \
|
|
--env GHOST_SMTP_PORT=587 \
|
|
--env GHOST_SMTP_USER=your_email@gmail.com \
|
|
--env GHOST_SMTP_PASSWORD=your_password \
|
|
--env GHOST_SMTP_FROM_ADDRESS=ghost@blog.com \
|
|
--network ghost-tier \
|
|
--volume /path/to/ghost-persistence:/bitnami \
|
|
bitnami/ghost:latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### Connect Ghost container to an existing database
|
|
|
|
The Bitnami Ghost container supports connecting the Ghost application to an external database. This would be an example of using an external database for Ghost.
|
|
|
|
- Modify the [`docker-compose.yml`](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/blob/main/bitnami/ghost/docker-compose.yml) file present in this repository:
|
|
|
|
```diff
|
|
ghost:
|
|
...
|
|
environment:
|
|
- - GHOST_DATABASE_HOST=mysql
|
|
+ - GHOST_DATABASE_HOST=mysql_host
|
|
- GHOST_DATABASE_PORT_NUMBER=3306
|
|
- GHOST_DATABASE_NAME=ghost_db
|
|
- GHOST_DATABASE_USER=ghost_user
|
|
- - ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes
|
|
+ - GHOST_DATABASE_PASSWORD=ghost_password
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- For manual execution:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ docker run -d --name ghost\
|
|
-p 8080:8080 -p 8443:8443 \
|
|
--network ghost-network \
|
|
--env GHOST_DATABASE_HOST=mysql_host \
|
|
--env GHOST_DATABASE_PORT_NUMBER=3306 \
|
|
--env GHOST_DATABASE_NAME=ghost_db \
|
|
--env GHOST_DATABASE_USER=ghost_user \
|
|
--env GHOST_DATABASE_PASSWORD=ghost_password \
|
|
--volume ghost_data:/bitnami/ghost \
|
|
bitnami/ghost:latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In case the database already contains data from a previous Ghost installation, you need to set the variable `GHOST_SKIP_BOOTSTRAP` to `yes`. Otherwise, the container would execute the installation wizard and could modify the existing data in the database. Note that, when setting `GHOST_SKIP_BOOTSTRAP` to `yes`, values for environment variables such as `GHOST_USERNAME`, `GHOST_PASSWORD` or `GHOST_EMAIL` will be ignored.
|
|
|
|
### FIPS configuration in Bitnami Secure Images
|
|
|
|
The Bitnami Ghost Docker image from the [Bitnami Secure Images](https://www.arrow.com/globalecs/uk/products/bitnami-secure-images/) catalog includes extra features and settings to configure the container with FIPS capabilities. You can configure the next environment variables:
|
|
|
|
- `OPENSSL_FIPS`: whether OpenSSL runs in FIPS mode or not. `yes` (default), `no`.
|
|
|
|
## Logging
|
|
|
|
The Bitnami Ghost Docker image sends the container logs to `stdout`. To view the logs:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
docker logs ghost
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or using Docker Compose:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
docker-compose logs ghost
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can configure the containers [logging driver](https://docs.docker.com/engine/admin/logging/overview/) using the `--log-driver` option if you wish to consume the container logs differently. In the default configuration docker uses the `json-file` driver.
|
|
|
|
## Maintenance
|
|
|
|
### Backing up your container
|
|
|
|
To backup your data, configuration and logs, follow these simple steps:
|
|
|
|
#### Step 1: Stop the currently running container
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
docker stop ghost
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or using Docker Compose:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
docker-compose stop ghost
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Step 2: Run the backup command
|
|
|
|
We need to mount two volumes in a container we will use to create the backup: a directory on your host to store the backup in, and the volumes from the container we just stopped so we can access the data.
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
docker run --rm -v /path/to/ghost-backups:/backups --volumes-from ghost busybox \
|
|
cp -a /bitnami/ghost /backups/latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Restoring a backup
|
|
|
|
Restoring a backup is as simple as mounting the backup as volumes in the containers.
|
|
|
|
For the MySQL database container:
|
|
|
|
```diff
|
|
$ docker run -d --name mysql \
|
|
...
|
|
- --volume /path/to/mysql-persistence:/bitnami/mysql \
|
|
+ --volume /path/to/mysql-backups/latest:/bitnami/mysql \
|
|
bitnami/mysql:latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For the Ghost container:
|
|
|
|
```diff
|
|
$ docker run -d --name ghost \
|
|
...
|
|
- --volume /path/to/ghost-persistence:/bitnami/ghost \
|
|
+ --volume /path/to/ghost-backups/latest:/bitnami/ghost \
|
|
bitnami/ghost:latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Upgrade this image
|
|
|
|
Bitnami provides up-to-date versions of MySQL and Ghost, including security patches, soon after they are made upstream. We recommend that you follow these steps to upgrade your container. We will cover here the upgrade of the Ghost container. For the MySQL upgrade see: <https://github.com/bitnami/containers/blob/main/bitnami/mysql/README.md#upgrade-this-image>
|
|
|
|
The `bitnami/ghost:latest` tag always points to the most recent release. To get the most recent release you can simple repull the `latest` tag from the Docker Hub with `docker pull bitnami/ghost:latest`. However it is recommended to use [tagged versions](https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/ghost/tags/).
|
|
|
|
#### Step 1: Get the updated image
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
docker pull bitnami/ghost:latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Step 2: Stop the running container
|
|
|
|
Stop the currently running container using the command
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
docker-compose stop ghost
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Step 3: Take a snapshot of the application state
|
|
|
|
Follow the steps in [Backing up your container](#backing-up-your-container) to take a snapshot of the current application state.
|
|
|
|
#### Step 4: Remove the currently running container
|
|
|
|
Remove the currently running container by executing the following command:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
docker-compose rm -v ghost
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Step 5: Run the new image
|
|
|
|
Update the image tag in `docker-compose.yml` and re-create your container with the new image:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
docker-compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Customize this image
|
|
|
|
The Bitnami Ghost Docker image is designed to be extended so it can be used as the base image for your custom web applications.
|
|
|
|
### Extend this image
|
|
|
|
To do so, create your own image using a Dockerfile with the format below:
|
|
|
|
```Dockerfile
|
|
FROM bitnami/ghost
|
|
## Put your customizations below
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This example shows how to install the [Storage Adapter for S3](https://github.com/colinmeinke/ghost-storage-adapter-s3#ghost-storage-adapter-s3).
|
|
|
|
```Dockerfile
|
|
FROM bitnami/ghost:latest
|
|
|
|
## Change user to perform privileged actions
|
|
USER root
|
|
|
|
COPY post_ghost_config.sh /
|
|
RUN mkdir -p /.npm \
|
|
&& chmod -R g+rwX,o+rw /.npm \
|
|
&& chmod +x /post_ghost_config.sh \
|
|
&& cp /opt/bitnami/scripts/ghost/entrypoint.sh /tmp/entrypoint.sh \
|
|
&& sed '/info "\*\* Ghost setup finished! \*\*"/ a . /post_ghost_config.sh' /tmp/entrypoint.sh > /opt/bitnami/scripts/ghost/entrypoint.sh
|
|
ENV AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID" \
|
|
AWS_ACCESS_SECRET_KEY="AWS_ACCESS_SECRET_KEY" \
|
|
AWS_REGION="AWS_REGION" \
|
|
AWS_BUCKET="AWS_BUCKET"
|
|
|
|
## Revert to the original non-root user
|
|
USER 1001
|
|
|
|
RUN cd /bitnami/ghost \
|
|
&& npm i --silent ghost-storage-adapter-s3 \
|
|
&& mkdir -p /opt/bitnami/ghost/content/adapters/storage/s3 \
|
|
&& cp -r ./node_modules/ghost-storage-adapter-s3/* /opt/bitnami/ghost/content/adapters/storage/s3/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Prepare npm and install an adapter.
|
|
2. Add configuration for the adapter.
|
|
|
|
#### Create a script named `post_ghost_config.sh` using `jq` for adding configuration to the `config.production.json`
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
#!/bin/bash -e
|
|
cp /opt/bitnami/ghost/config.production.json /tmp/config.tmp.json
|
|
|
|
jq -r --arg keyId $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID --arg accessKey $AWS_ACCESS_SECRET_KEY --arg region $AWS_REGION --arg bucket $AWS_BUCKET \
|
|
'. + { storage: { active: "s3", s3: { accessKeyId: $keyId, secretAccessKey: $accessKey, region: $region, bucket: $bucket } } }' \
|
|
/tmp/config.tmp.json > /opt/bitnami/ghost/config.production.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Add it to the `app-entrypoint.sh` just after ghost is configured.**
|
|
|
|
Finally, build the container and set the required environment variables to configure the adapter.
|
|
|
|
## Notable Changes
|
|
|
|
### 3.42.5-debian-10-r67 and 4.8.4-debian-10-r7
|
|
|
|
- The size of the container image has been decreased.
|
|
- The configuration logic is now based on Bash scripts in the *rootfs/* folder.
|
|
- It is now possible to import existing Ghost databases from other installations. In order to do this, use the environment variable `GHOST_SKIP_BOOTSTRAP`, which forces the container not to run the initial Ghost setup wizard.
|
|
|
|
### 0.11.10-r2
|
|
|
|
- The ghost container has been migrated to a non-root container approach. Previously the container run as `root` user and the ghost daemon was started as `ghost` user. From now own, both the container and the ghost daemon run as user `1001`. As a consequence, the configuration files are writable by the user running the ghost process.
