New Pleskian
I want to install Ghost CMS for a domain hosted on my plesk server.
Plesk Version: Plesk Obsidian 18.0.40
Plesk Server OS version: Ubuntu 20.04.03 LTS
Node.js version 14.18.2 is configured for the subdomain I want to use
URL: https://ghost.orangekarat.com
Ghost version: 4.32.0
The subdomain is secured by plesk using Let’s Encrypt
Steps I’ve followed (based on this link):

I then click the “NPM Install” button. After a period of waiting on dependencies and such, a message finally appears filled with warnings and a few fatal errors.
And now I am here to ask what, if anything, I can do to successfully complete the install? FYI, I’m running ghost just fine on plesk using a docker container, but I’d prefer this method as it preserves the file permissions for the user who owns this subdomain.
Here is the complete list of warnings and errors I received:
Any guidance/help would be greatly appreciated!

Ghost version: 4.32.0
The subdomain is secured by plesk using Let’s Encrypt
Steps I’ve followed (based on this link):
- I’ve uploaded the ghost zip file for 4.32.0 to the subdomain root directory and extracted all of the files into that directory.
- I’ve added a file named .npmrc with the line “scripts-prepend-node-path=true” This is also saved in the subdomain root directory.
- I’ve modified the file /core/shared/config/defaults.json file to point to the domain “https://ghost.orangekarat.com 2”
- I’ve updated the file /core/shared/config/env/config.production.json with the database type (mariadb), database name: “ghost”, and correct login credentials.

I then click the “NPM Install” button. After a period of waiting on dependencies and such, a message finally appears filled with warnings and a few fatal errors.
