Service definitions

• Ghost service
• MySQL service
• OpenSMTPD service

What's included

Component / service	Default configuration
Ghost (ghost) ghost	required; main HTTP service; one replica; 20 GB content volume
MySQL (mysql) mysql	required; MySQL 8; one replica; 20 GB data volume
OpenSMTPD (opensmtpd) opensmtpd	required; relays Ghost transactional email

Ghost supports MySQL 8 in production; MariaDB is not supported. Configure an SMTP integration for OpenSMTPD and set Ghost's required email sender to an address accepted by that provider.

Ghost 6 persists files in /var/lib/ghost/content. A future Ghost 7 option will require an explicit storage migration and must not be introduced as a compatible image update.

Deploy this stack

Add this stack from the Wodby catalog, configure the email sender and OpenSMTPD relay integration, then create the app. The Ghost administration interface is available at /ghost/ on the main application route.

Review storage sizes and resource allocations when creating production applications. Ghost runs as one application replica; use an external CDN or cache for additional delivery capacity rather than increasing the replica count.

Maintain a custom version

1. Fork this repository.
2. Edit stack.yml.
3. Import the repository as a Git-backed stack.

When replacing or renaming a stack service, update every related link target. Stack-local names and referenced service names are distinct identifiers.

Validate the manifest with:

wodby stack validate-manifest stack.yml --org <org-id>
