Cloudron Forum

your config.production.json should work as it is identical to the solution here: https://forum.ghost.org/t/unable-to-invite-new-admin-users-to-account-without-mailgun-setup/56711/11 I had tried it and it is working for me. by default if you set up ghost.example.com cloudron should set up an email account ghost.app@example.com for you, you should use ghost.app@example.com instead of newsletter@example.com.

In the interim, I underwent the business evaluation process at Mailguns. The support staff was amiable, and my blogs received positive feedback. Due to a limitation of nine emails per transmission, I was required to send newsletters in smaller batches.

Yes, you have to setup transactional email as per https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/ghost/#email . Many of the things are hardcoded and there's also a step by step guide at https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/7043/how-on-earth-do-you-get-ghost-memberships-and-newsletters-working-with-cloudron/21 by @jdaviescoates

Seems to work!

But! Just uploading the new .zip of the latest Casper release DID work for updating that over on https://uniteddiversity.coop ! [image: 1755362214416-1c440c12-0faa-425d-a966-34861ac87d75-image.png] I hit Activate and got another little notification pop-up bottom right informing me it had worked. And doing the same with the Source theme worked over on https://nzts.info too! But there doesn't appear to be any releases of the Headline theme https://github.com/TryGhost/Headline, so I'm not sure how I'm supposed to try to update that over on https://westdorset.news ...but I was able to find a download of it via https://ghost.org/themes/headline/ (clicked Install button top right, then download link in the pop-up... And uploading that .zip worked too! (but it seems it's still actually on 1.0.0 which I was on anyway, so actually no change there).

@jdaviescoates Oh, it was made available to all only yesterday. So, probably takes a couple more days to actually auto-update.

@explore It should be fine to put files there. All data under /app/data is backed up as well.

@tshirt-chihuahu It should rarely happen (but it happens). I will put the workaround in the package itself. It seems that workaround works quite reliably for a couple of years now.

@girish new thread added for this here - ghost issue with signup email and mail configuration

that’s the best thing i’ve ever received thank u man, u made my day

thanks u so much, the stop/start did work!

@girish Just tested this workaround and it works! (I set DNS to Manual to save creating another API key and DNS records since the sub-domain is only for development). There seems to be some typos in the instructions above though between demo.domain.com and domain.com that might be worth fixing to help anyone else searching for a solution on the same too.

Awesome, many thanks for your quick work on this.

As an update, I found this post solved the issue https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/1819/wordpress-unmanaged-re-directions-unable-to-install/4 I have example.com for the primary domain & my.example.com for Cloudron admin. For the Ghost app, it is ghostexample.com. At first visit, it showed me the Cloudron login page. This was fixed after a while. The www.ghostexample.com going to admin page was fixed by removing CNAME & adding redirect. Thanks for the support!

I have pushed a fix for Ghost now.

Late responding but thanks so much for the fix @girish !
