Ghost start requires sudo password

ppo · Feb 27, 2022

In my Ghost app folder, I executed first ./stop.
Then when executing ./start, it asks for the sudo password… so what must I do to start my app?

+ sudo systemctl is-active ghost_ghost-local
? Sudo Password [hidden]

ppo The problem is this line in your ghost/config.production.json:

  "process": "systemd",

You cannot run systemd services because you don't have root access to the server, so to correct this you can remove that line from your config.

Hope this helps
