Installing Ghost CMS using the DigitalOcean Marketplace 1-Click App is a straightforward process. Here are the detailed steps to guide you through the installation:

1. Sign Up: If you don't have a DigitalOcean account, sign up at DigitalOcean.
2. Log In: Log in to your DigitalOcean account.

1. Navigate to the Marketplace:
   • Go to the DigitalOcean Marketplace.
   • Search for "Ghost" or directly visit the Ghost 1-Click App.
2. Create Ghost Droplet:
   • Click on the "Create Ghost Droplet" button.
   • Select your desired droplet configuration. You can choose the Standard plan, General Purpose, or any other depending on your needs.
   • Choose the data center region closest to your audience.
3. Set Up Authentication:
   • Choose the authentication method: SSH keys (recommended) or password.
   • If you select SSH keys, ensure you add your public key.
4. Additional Options:
   • You can enable backups, monitoring, and additional block storage if needed.
5. Finalize and Create:
   • Choose a hostname for your droplet.
   • Click on "Create Droplet."

1. Get Droplet IP:
   • Once the droplet is created, you will see its IP address in the DigitalOcean dashboard.
2. Access Ghost Setup:
   • Open your browser and navigate to http://<your_droplet_ip>.

1. Initial Ghost Setup:
   • When you access the IP address, you will be redirected to the Ghost setup page.
   • Follow the on-screen instructions to configure your Ghost CMS:
     • Enter your site title.
     • Create an admin account by providing your email, username, and password.
     • Complete the setup process.
2. Secure Your Site (Optional but Recommended):
   • Configure SSL using Let's Encrypt. This can usually be done by running a command provided in the setup documentation or using DigitalOcean's guides.

1. Domain Setup (Optional):
   • To make your site accessible via a domain name, point your domain's DNS to the droplet's IP address.
   • Update your Ghost configuration to use the domain name instead of the IP address.
2. Backups and Monitoring:
   • Set up automated backups and monitoring in the DigitalOcean dashboard to ensure your data is safe and your site is up and running smoothly.
