    https://github.com/alexbakers/ghost-ipfs \
    content/adapters/storage/ghost-ipfs

• Done, go configure

Install on Docker

Here's an example of using this adapter with a containerized Ghost:

FROM ghost:5-alpine as ipfs
RUN apk add g++ make python3
RUN su-exec node yarn add ghost-ipfs

FROM ghost:5-alpine
COPY --chown=node:node --from=ipfs $GHOST_INSTALL/node_modules $GHOST_INSTALL/node_modules
COPY --chown=node:node --from=ipfs $GHOST_INSTALL/node_modules/ghost-ipfs $GHOST_INSTALL/content/adapters/storage/ghost-ipfs

# Here, we use the Ghost CLI to set some pre-defined values.
RUN set -ex; \
    su-exec node ghost config storage.active ghost-ipfs; \
    su-exec node ghost config storage.ghost-ipfs.defaultStorage "filebase"; \

    # https://console.filebase.com/keys
    su-exec node ghost config storage.ghost-ipfs.filebase.key "FILEBASE_KEY"; \
    su-exec node ghost config storage.ghost-ipfs.filebase.secret "FILEBASE_SECRET"; \
    su-exec node ghost config storage.ghost-ipfs.filebase.bucket "FILEBASE_BUCKET"; \

    # https://app.pinata.cloud/keys
    su-exec node ghost config storage.ghost-ipfs.pinata.jwt "PINATA_JWT"; \

    # https://app.fleek.co/#/settings/general/profile
    su-exec node ghost config storage.ghost-ipfs.fleek.key "FLEEK_KEY"; \
    su-exec node ghost config storage.ghost-ipfs.fleek.secret "FLEEK_SECRET"; \
    su-exec node ghost config storage.ghost-ipfs.fleek.bucket "FLEEK_BUCKET"; \

    # https://web3.storage/tokens/
    su-exec node ghost config storage.ghost-ipfs.web3.token "WEB3_TOKEN";

    # https://files.lighthouse.storage/dashboard/apikey
    su-exec node ghost config storage.ghost-ipfs.lighthouse.token "LIGHTHOUSE_TOKEN";

Make sure to set the content path right in the Ghost config as well:

"paths": {
    "contentPath": "/var/lib/ghost/content/"
}
