It's Live, now here

Here is a family blog for sharing technical talks and experiences. Written in English. By multiple members. Covers many.

It has been a long time that I've thought about my own blog. Sometimes some thoughts or experiences I'd like to note down but don't know where to write. Now they have a home here.

2017

  • (Sep 14) Isso is set up (via docker) to provide comment service
  • (Jun 16) This blog is set up using containerized Ghost and features HTTP over SSL and HTTP/2 by Nginx reverse proxy

I used to set return 301 in Nginx virtual hosts to redirect HTTP to HTTPS. Ghost, however, actually will handle this redirect automatically based on the configured URL in config.js.

When Ghost is container-ized, HTTPS is provided and handled by Nginx and pass the traffic to Ghost via HTTP. The application URL still needs to be https:// while Nginx has to remain passing proxy to http://. This is confusing.

Besides, due to a bug in config.js, a line should be added when passing proxy to container-ized Ghost:

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
