🏔️ What is Alpine Linux?
Alpine Linux is a Linux distribution built around musl libc and BusyBox. The image is only 5 MB in size and has access to a package repository that is much more complete than other BusyBox based images. This makes Alpine Linux a great image base for utilities and even production applications. Read more about Alpine Linux here and you can see how their mantra fits in right at home with container images.

Creating an instance
docker run --name some-ghost -d yobasystems/alpine-ghost
This will start a Ghost instance listening on the default Ghost port of 2368.
If you'd like to be able to access the instance from the host without the container's IP, standard port mappings can be used:
docker run --name some-ghost -p 80:2368 -d yobasystems/alpine-ghost
Then, access it via http://localhost or http://host-ip in a browser.
You can also point the image to your existing content on your host:
docker run --name some-ghost -v /path/on/host:/ghost/content yobasystems/alpine-ghost
Alternatively you can use a data container that has a volume that points to /ghost and then reference it:
docker run --name some-ghost --volumes-from some-ghost-data yobasystems/alpine-ghost
