Try running ghost doctor to check your system for known issues.

You can always refer to https://ghost.org/docs/api/ghost-cli/ for troubleshooting.

For any further commands, please switch to the ghost-mgr user to manage Ghost.

    sudo -i -u ghost-mgr

I touched nothing, just ran the 1-click installer. Is this app still supported?

Hi there @jamesreyes,

It seems like that this could have been an issue with Ghost v3.15.2, I tested it now and it worked like a charm:

+ sudo chown -R ghost-mgr:ghost-mgr /home/ghost-mgr/.config
✔ Checking system Node.js version
✔ Checking logged in user
✔ Checking current folder permissions
✔ Checking operating system compatibility
✔ Checking for a MySQL installation
✔ Checking memory availability
✔ Checking for latest Ghost version
✔ Setting up install directory
✔ Downloading and installing Ghost v3.15.3
✔ Finishing install process

The difference is that Ghost v3.15.3 is now available.

Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby

For anyone coming across this in 2023. Seems like the current 1-Click install for Ghost requires a droplet with 2GB to install successfully. I tried 3 times with a 1GB droplet and gave up…
