    If you have your own server, I can write you a bash script for installing Ghost and updating it when you run the script.

    What do you say?

      I appreciate the kind offer @[email protected] but no thank you.

      I self-hosted Ghost for almost a year via Ghost CLI and it was (1) expensive (2) stressful - especially dealing with potential DDOS attacks and with the newsletter company Mailgun who handles the newsletter part (and would throw me all kinds of random error messages).

      Self-hosting Ghost means spending TWICE as much and investing extra hours every month in maintenance.

      With Magic Pages I save money and Jannis and his team take care of all the maintenance and updates and respond immediately if I run into any issues.

      Yes I don’t like Cloudflare but I wouldn’t go to these lengths just to avoid it.

        Aha. Then I understand your decision more :) Thank you for explaining.

      and what will handle the breaking changes? and the release verification? what will update the database and the operating system, especially across major versions?
