Preparation * Visit https://ghost.org/docs/install/local/ * Install Node.js and optionally yarn Installation Install ghost-cli first npm install ghost-cli@latest
Context After seeing how OIDC client works using Passport.js (see lab), try again without. Preparation Create a folder and initialize a Node.js project $ mkdir oidcapp $ cd oidcapp $ yarn init -y $ yarn add express express-session openid-client Add the Code Add simple.js in the top folder: const express = require(
Preparation * Assume Docker and Docker Compose is in place - see here. * Assume Nginx Proxy Manager is in place - see here. Installation First create a folder, next to the NPM folder, although other places are also OK: mkdir myghost cd myghost Create the following docker-compose.yaml in the folder:
