Upgrade / Update existing Ghost installation on Openshift from 0.5 to latest

I know there's another thread but it's about 0.4.2 to 0.5 and there's a quickstart for 0.5. What I want to do is install the latest version of ghost because there are some great features in the newer versions.

Solution

  • Source: https://ghost.org/forum/installation/16533-resolved-upgrading-ghost-0-5-to-0-5-2-on-openshift/ Thanks fuzzmz.

    • Set up a new installation using: rhc app create test nodejs-0.10 mysql-5.1 --env NODE_ENV=production --from-code https://github.com/openshift-quickstart/openshift-ghost-mysql-quickstart.git
    • Go to URL/ghost and setup the admin user.
    • Download latest Ghost archive.
    • Extract archive.
    • cd to the test folder.
    • delete index.js and package.json.
    • delete the core folder.
    • delete the content/themes/casper folder.
    • copy index.js, package.json, the core and content/themes/casper folders from where you extracted the archive to the test folder (the git repo created when I created the OpenShift app).
    • modify the new package.json (the one in the test folder) with "main": "index.js" instead of "main": "./core/index".
    • git add --all.
    • git commit -am "update to ghost v0.5.2"
    • git push origin master
