Ghost on Heroku with S3 Image Uploads

Ghost is a free, open, simple blogging platform. Visit the project's website at http://ghost.org, or read the docs on http://support.ghost.org.

This is a modified fork of Ghost on Heroku that adds S3 image uploads to Ghost by using pieces from ghost-aws-s3. Heroku app filesystems aren’t meant for permanent storage.

To use this, you will need an Amazon AWS account, which you can get for free. You should set up a public-read bucket on S3 where Ghost will upload your images.

Deploying on Heroku

Fill out the form, and you should be cooking with gas in a few seconds.

Things you should know

• After deployment, visit the admin area at YOURAPPNAME.herokuapp.com/ghost to set up your blog.

• Your blog will be publicly accessible at YOURAPPNAME.herokuapp.com.

• To make changes to your Ghost blog (like adding a theme to the /content directory, for instance), clone your blog locally using the Heroku Toolbelt:

  heroku git:clone --app YOURAPPNAME

• Images will be uploaded to an AWS S3 bucket of your choosing, just follow the steps in the deploy form.

How this works

This repository is essentially a minimal web application that specifies Ghost as a dependency, and makes a deploy button available.
