Because Ghost now requires Docker and it’s way beyond my scope of expertise (I used to self-host a previous version with Ghost CLI - it will be sunset in the next version).

Ghost is also expensive to self-host, especially the newsletter part. Magic Pages does all the maintenance and updates for me for the price of what I used to pay just for the newsletter integration… and I don’t have to worry about a thing 🥲

If you have your own server, I can write you a bash script for installing Ghost and updating it when you run the script.

What do you say?

and what will handle the breaking changes? and the release verification? what will update the database and the operating system, especially across major versions?
