I'm trying to set up a self-hosted blog with Ghost before Cohost closes, but its docker container refuses to connect to a MySQL server -_-

I set up a docker container for both Ghost and MySQL8 and connected the two on the same network, but I always get a "The server closed the connection" error immediately when starting Ghost and I have no idea what to do >~>

in my experience of hosting a ghost blog for years -- it's a piece of shit and you shouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. bear blog is the way

Is there a guide for easily setting it up in Unraid/Docker?

It's a hosted service.

Interesting! Does it support images or image uploads?

Yes, very well in fact!
