Install Ghost on an Arch VPS

April 29, 2016

I recently got myself a small VPS from Hetzner to play around with. Using their ‘rescue’ function you can mount different installer images in the virtual disc drive and install the system via VNC or web console.

They provide an Arch installer too, so I chose that. I set up a very barebones system on a btrfs partition and with an nginx webserver.

To me, Arch seemed like an interesting choice for a webserver and so I cloned my nginx config from my nas and began to go through all the directives again and tidy up all the configs in the process, making as much as possible a global directive inside the http { } block.
