Anyone here successfully get a Ghost blog federated with ActivityPub?
Been researching this and sounds like it’s perhaps still in beta. I want to set up a website/blog and leaning towards installing self-hosted Ghost on a VPS. Would Ghost even be the right thing to use if I have no interest in email newsletters? (continued)
I’m no expert engineer but I’ve successfully set up NGINX, MySQL, and WordPress on an Ubuntu VPS in the past.
Ghost has official instructions for Digital Ocean and Linode, and I have an inactive Linode account, but I am considering using a different provider. But, wondering if I should just stick with Linode since it is more supported?
Found out that ActivityPub is coming to Ghost with version 6 this summer. Got a server up and running with the default install for now. Now for the fun of learning how it works.
@andrewbriscoe that's good to know. Might have to spin up a server and have a play.
@elperronegro I may not want bulk email so I am working to see if Linode will open up the SMTP outbound ports to get the login and sign up flow working.
And if you were to set up a paid tier Ghost does not take a cut even when they host it. All you need to pay is standard Stripe fees. 3-5%.
