Next Cms Ghost
Publish flaring fast blogs with Next.js and Ghost CMS
Overview:
Next CMS Ghost is a React frontend for headless Ghost CMS that allows users to create and publish blogs quickly. It combines the speed and performance of static and server-rendered sites while providing global distribution capabilities. Content creators can continue to use the familiar Ghost authoring system, making it convenient for teams already working with Ghost.
Features:
- Performance (Lighthouse Score): Next CMS Ghost provides optimized performance, with scores calculated using Lighthouse 6.4.0.
- NextJS image optimizations: The theme automatically optimizes images, but when deploying to Netlify, image optimization is disabled.
- Domain Settings: Users can set the SITE_URL environment variable to their site's public facing URL. If not specified, defaults are used based on the platform (Vercel or Netlify) or set to http://localhost:3000 in other cases.
- Ghost Content API keys: Content is sourced from a Ghost CMS, and users can choose the most suitable method for their build scenario. Keys can be provided in environment variables or stored in a .env.local file.
- Deployment: Deploying to Vercel is recommended for best results, but Netlify is also supported.
- Headless Mode: For better SEO results, it is recommended to disable the default Ghost Handlebars theme frontend by selecting the "Make this site private" flag within the Ghost admin settings.
- Issue Reporting: Users are encouraged to report any bugs or issues on the next-cms-ghost GitHub repository.
