   @jimcarroll have you had any gotchas or snags running your own self hosted Ghost 👻 installation?

     @duncanhart Not really. Just dealing with some stupid permission problems right now with the upgrade process, that would be about it. It's running on a pretty barebones system. I was even able to do a migration of my Substack posts over to it.

     @duncanhart Yup, 22.04. Running it on Hetzner for pretty cheap.

     @duncanhart @jimcarroll

     I am also running Ghost on Hetzner, but using FreeBSD. Ghost was pretty straightforward to get running from the install instructions.

     I've spent much more time on email deliverability than Ghost admin.

     @greggyb @duncanhart ya, the email setup sucks. a) would be great to have an alternative to Mailgun for subscriber mail and b) configuring admin email is just a pain (i.e. I'm using Amazon SES) (see a). It's not all well documented.
