Đinh Thành Công Blog | Danh mục | Part 1: How to deploy Ghost Blog on AWS using Lightsail

In this article, I want to introduce about how to deploy Ghost Blog on AWS using Lightsail. Before going straight, I would like to summary about the definitions of ghost, aws Lightsail, and why to choose Ghost.

What is Ghost?

Ghost is an open-source content management system (CMS) platform built in JavaScript language, running on the Nodejs platform.

Ghost CMS is a platform that does not cater to the creation of complex websites but is focused on creating blogs and other similar applications.

What is AWS Lightsail?

AWS Lightsail is a virtual private server (VPS) provider for small businesses, students, or people who need a solution to build and host their applications in the cloud.

AWS Lightsail helps you get started with a project quickly because it includes everything you need: servers, databases, DNS, CDN, .... for a possible low price. predictable.

Why choose Ghost, not WordPress?

There are 2 main reasons that I choose Ghost:

Firstly, I am a programmer using the Nodejs platform and coding in JavaScript language, ... so I choose Ghost to blog. In addition, I want to learn more about how Ghost works.
Secondly, When it comes to blogging platforms, everyone mentions WordPress because it's incredibly popular. I like to go against the crowd, want to explore, want to challenge myself with things that few users choose.
