The official Ghost Docker repo is cumbersome and not for everyone, especially me!

Look at these mess!
https://github.com/TryGhost/ghost-docker
https://docs.ghost.org/install/docker

So I came up with my own compose.yaml that is simpler and works well with Cloudflare proxy... check it out!

services:
  ghost:
    image: ghost:6-alpine
