Pretty much! :) No, for real: It looks like I failed to communicate the intent very well. I do NOT recommend setting up such infrastructure for running Ghost.

Pretty much! :) No, for real: It looks like I failed to communicate the intent very well. I do NOT recommend setting up such infrastructure for running Ghost. I do recommend such setup (not necessarily on DO though), if you have a sufficiently complex stack and you want to be able to deploy to it quickly. This is often the case if you're have multiple teams who want to deploy independently and you can't wait for building and spinning up VM images. Or if you're running on bare metal and can't get away with something like Docker + a few shell scripts. In my case I just run this way-to-complex-stack because I've worked in the space (at Docker and Mesosphere to be specific) and want to stay in touch with the space.
