Setting up Ghost on Debian Wheezy + nginx reverse proxy

Install Debian Wheezy

Ghost requires Node.js 0.10.x [^n]

 		apt-get install curl
 		curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup | bash -
 		apt-get install -y nodejs

Follow the instructions to install Ghost
curl -L https://ghost.org/zip/ghost-latest.zip -o ghost.zip
unzip -uo ghost.zip -d ghost
Optionally, move to /var/www/ghost/

 		mv ghost /var/www/                

By default, Ghost is only accessible from itself, so edit config.js so that it can be accessible by other computers

 // # Ghost Configuration
 // Setup your Ghost install for various environments
 // Documentation can be found at http://support.ghost.org/config/
 var path = require('path'),
     config;
 config = {
 // ### Production
 // When running Ghost in the wild, use the production environment
 // Configure your URL and mail settings here
     .
     .
     .
 server: {
     // Host to be passed to node's `net.Server#listen()`
     host: '127.0.0.1', // <-- CHANGE THIS TO THE SERVER IP
     // Port to be passed to node's `net.Server#listen()`, for iisnode set this to `process.env.PORT`
     port: '2368'
 }

Since we configured it to run in 'Production' mode, use the following command to test that it's working in the Ghost directory:

 npm start --production

If it's up and running, you can go to http://<IP ADDRESS>/ghost and set up your admin account

To have Ghost run whenever the server starts, choose one of the options for Making Ghost Run Forever

Start Ghost (if using the init.d script):

 		service ghost start

Have nginx reverse proxy point to Ghost:

 location / {
     proxy_pass		http://<YOUR GHOST IP ADDRESS>:PORT/;
     proxy_redirect	off;
 }

DONE!
