      Ghost is far more stable than Grav. It's easier to modify the style using Ghost/Handlebars vs. Grav/PHP/Twig (which was a total mess).

      Also, if you have any authors who are not you (not technically highly proficient), then they can easily crash your Grav instance --I have yet to crash Ghost. 🤠

      That's my two cents.

      @frei I think you just read my mind . .

      Trying to figure out the best practices for modifying core templates (eg, content-cta.hbs) without overwriting upon update.


      Correction:

      The content-cta.hbs is easily editable --as written directly in Ghost documentation.

      Simply reference the default template, modify, and copy to the partials folder.

        It seems like the only / best way of modifying core files is adapting the Dockerfile and building a new image, as per the instructions here: https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/3102/building-custom-packages

        Move the files from origin location to /app/data and replace with symlinks.

          @frei Thanks for the feedback. On my end, I had a nice time setting up a site with Grav. Easy to edit everything. No paywalls or unchangeable parts in English only. I am a single author/user, but I see a nice set of permissions if I have to create other users with limited abilities to destroy things. Best experience so far amongst WordPress/Ghost/Grav (for someone not "technically highly proficient", just basic).

            If you specify all the files that need to be modified for this, the Cloudron team can update the App with those files symlinked in /app/data

              @robi, very cool.

              Usually, when I spend enough time getting familiar with the applications, I find that the Cloudron team has already dialed it in.

              Will keep this in mind
