Assume you have a ghost server ran at a host machine.
Oneday the host machine maybe out of space or you find a new cheap host,
or you have a new host that have power memory and performance.
Then you may need to transfer your ghost server to another new host.
tar your ghost server to a *.tar.gz
//blog is my ghost server root directory
$cd www/blog
$tar -zcvf blog.tar.gz blog
copy the blog.tar.gz to the new host
preinstall on new host
nginx
sudo apt-get install nginx
node.js
https://nodejs.org/en/download/
extract and add node bin path to env
ghost
npm i -g ghost-cli
acme.sh
https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh
tar cvf blog.tar.gz
nginx conf
sudo ln -sf blog/system/files/blog.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/blog.conf
sudo ln -sf /etc/nginx/sites-available/blog.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/blog.conf
start http server
ghost start
if you encounter systemd error, just follow the hint command(ghost linuxuser systemd) by ghost
and run ghost start again.
Before you start your ghost server, you should change the DNS record for your server. Since you changed host, the IP would changed.
enable https server via letsencrypt
