Ghost (MySQL bundle)

Self-hosted Ghost publishing platform with a dedicated MySQL 8 sidecar. The agent generates the database password on first install and stores it locally on the device — Obacht never sees it.

Notes

Each instance is a fully self-contained bundle: its own Docker network, its own data volumes, its own secrets. Two ghost instances on the same Pi never see each other.

How to self-host Ghost (MySQL bundle)

01

Connect a device: a Raspberry Pi, a Linux machine, or an Apple silicon Mac.

02

Click install in the dashboard. The template is signed; your device verifies the signature before anything runs.

03

Optionally attach your own domain. HTTPS certificate included, no port forwarding.

Run it on your own hardware.

Your data stays on your device. obacht handles the tunnel, SSL, and domain.
