On the 11th day of blogging...

We are proud to say that our Ghost installer now supports ActivityPub out of the box. That's right, what took Taylor and Jim 1.5 hours to demonstrate a couple of months ago can now be handled automatically!

This new version of the Ghost installer is a significant restructure from our old one, as Ghost now has an official Docker Compose setup and documentation that we wanted to align closely with. This is both to make future updates simple and to make it easier for users of our installer to understand and troubleshoot as needed.

If you want to play around with Ghost on Reclaim Cloud, you can use the installer in the Marketplace today. Note that you will need to map a custom domain for ActivityPub support to work properly. If you have an existing Ghost site that you'd like to get set up with ActivityPub, get in touch with us, as we can help you with that process.
