no issue - When running Ghost in docker compose, you need to set the database connection, redis connection, and the server host to values that are suitable for the environment. - Previously this was done by automatically editing your `config.local.json` file to update these parameters in the container's entrypoint script. This made it somewhat annoying to switch from Docker to local development because you have to remember to update your `config.local.json` manually. - This change adds a new static configuration file for running in docker compose. The values set in this configuration file will override any of the same keys in the `config.local.json` file, while still allowing the use of `config.local.json` for any _other_ configuration keys. The upshot of this is that you won't need to modify your `config.local.json` file when switching back and forth between local and docker dev — you can keep your local database, redis, etc configuration in `config.local.json`, and they will simply be ignored when running in docker. - This also removes the script that updates your `config.local.json` file from the entrypoint, since we no longer need to perform this step. |

The easiest way to get a production instance deployed is with our official Ghost(Pro) managed service. It takes about 2 minutes to launch a new site with worldwide CDN, backups, security and maintenance all done for you.
For most people this ends up being the best value option because of how much time it saves — and 100% of revenue goes to the Ghost Foundation; funding the maintenance and further development of the project itself. So you’ll be supporting open source software and getting a great service!
Quickstart install
If you want to run your own instance of Ghost, in most cases the best way is to use our CLI tool
npm install ghost-cli -g
Then, if installing locally add the local flag to get up and running in under a minute - Local install docs
ghost install local
or on a server run the full install, including automatic SSL setup using LetsEncrypt - Production install docs
ghost install
