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.
Open-source contribution
A fixed amount per install goes to Ghost, forwarded via GitHub Sponsors.
