Ghost Storage Cloudinary


A fully featured and deeply tested Cloudinary Ghost storage adapter.

$3

- Up to date with latest Ghost versions :rocket:
- Latest Cloudinary NodeJS SDK
- Image upload, existence check & deletion (when Ghost will support it)
- Ability to upload in dated sub-directories (alike first Ghost default Local storage adapter YYYY/MM)
- Ability to upload images into a specific directory
- Ability to tag images
- Cool plugins!

Installation

$3

- Go into Ghost root directory
- Download the adapter:

``bash
yarn add ghost-storage-cloudinary
mv node_modules/ghost-storage-cloudinary content/adapters/storage/ghost-storage-cloudinary
`

- Done, go configure

$3

Here's an example of using this adapter with a containerized Ghost:

`Dockerfile
FROM ghost:5-alpine as cloudinary
RUN apk add g++ make python3
RUN su-exec node yarn add ghost-storage-cloudinary

FROM ghost:5-alpine
COPY --chown=node:node --from=cloudinary $GHOST_INSTALL/node_modules $GHOST_INSTALL/node_modules
COPY --chown=node:node --from=cloudinary $GHOST_INSTALL/node_modules/ghost-storage-cloudinary $GHOST_INSTALL/content/adapters/storage/ghost-storage-cloudinary


Here, we use the Ghost CLI to set some pre-defined values.


RUN set -ex; \
su-exec node ghost config storage.active ghost-storage-cloudinary; \
su-exec node ghost config storage.ghost-storage-cloudinary.upload.use_filename true; \
su-exec node ghost config storage.ghost-storage-cloudinary.upload.unique_filename false; \
su-exec node ghost config storage.ghost-storage-cloudinary.upload.overwrite false; \
su-exec node ghost config storage.ghost-storage-cloudinary.fetch.quality auto; \
su-exec node ghost config storage.ghost-storage-cloudinary.fetch.cdn_subdomain true;
`

Make sure to set the content path right in the Ghost config as well:

`json
"paths": {
"contentPath": "/var/lib/ghost/content/"
}
`

Configuration

Check out configuration.json.dist for a complete example.

- Ensure to disable Ghost Image Optimisation
- The optional useDatedFolder = false to upload images in dated sub-directories (alike default Ghost Local storage adapter)
- The auth property is optional if you use the CLOUDINARY_URL environment variable authentification method
- The optional upload property contains Cloudinary API upload options
- The optional fetch property contains Cloudinary API image transformation options

$3

- upload.use_filename = true in order use the original image name
- upload.unique_filename = false unlikely Ghost local storage adapter which auto-dedup an existing file name, Cloudinary will return the existing image URL instead of deduping the image
- upload.overwrite = false goes along with previous option: returns existing image instead of overwriting it
- upload.folder = "my-blog" allows to upload all your images into a specific directory instead of Cloudinary media library root
- upload.tags = ["blog", "photography"] if you want to add some taxonomy to your uploaded images
- fetch.quality = "auto" equals auto:good (see doc)
- fetch.secure = false set to true if you want to serve images over SSL (not recommended for performances)
- fetch.cdn_subdomain = true to really use the benefit of Cloudinary CDN

:heart: Don't forget to checkout the plugins!
