Is it really difficult to manage a server?

@Felix From what I can say off the top of my head, an email is created per app, and uses whatever domain it's been installed at, so cloudronuser@example.com . If there are more than one at a domain, then the email address becomes app1.email@example.com and app2.email@example.com. Once installed some apps let you set the admin email address inside, so you could use the same address for a number of apps. But it is nice, if you use subdomains, to use a variation of the cloudron-suggested email address. You can change it too after its been installed from the app dashboard in Cloudron (not just the in-app dashboard).

So yep, you could install many Ghosts on one domain, but you'd have to choose a new subdomain for each, you can't have more than one app accessible at the same domain (this is the same situation if you were rolling everything by hand too). I have several Ghost and Wordpress installations, some on the same domain (using subdomains). Each Ghost installation is it's own app though (plus whatever else is needed for the app to run), they don't build on each other, which is the Docker-side of things (everything is in its own container).

Yes, it is fun!

@scooke Thank you for the response. Do you maintain all of your Cloudron installations under different emails or one?

@Felix Oops, it was the post about GNU Social that had the bit of text I could see in my head:

INSTALLING
git clone https://git.cloudron.io/murgero/gnu-social gnu-social
cd gnu-social
cloudron install --image=mitchellurgero/org.urgero.gs:latest
Or just clone, build in docker and install like any other non-store app.

A similar process then would apply for yours.

1% of me believes you could maybe be him. That's the wonder of the internet!

I actually have only one Cloudron installation, but I did have two at one point. On my current Cloudron installation I have a ton of apps running, a whole mix. a good portion are managed under one email address, but the rest are just app by app. In reality, most of them don't need to use email. There are still a few more whose email is managed by MXRoute (even though they are assigned an email address by Cloudron I don't use).

@scooke Thank you for that. It clears up a lot of the confusion. I appreciate all of your help throughout this process. Now I can get up and running and launch Ghost at will.
