A statically generated blog example using Next.js and Ghost
This example showcases Next.js's Static Generation feature using Ghost as the data source.
This boilerplate demonstrates simple usage and best practices. If you are looking for a more feature rich Next.js generator for Ghost including the Casper theme, check out next-cms-ghost.

How to use
Execute create-next-app with npm, Yarn, or pnpm to bootstrap the example:
npx create-next-app --example cms-ghost cms-ghost-app
yarn create next-app --example cms-ghost cms-ghost-app
pnpm create next-app --example cms-ghost cms-ghost-app
Setp 1. Run Next.js in development mode
To get started, no configuration is needed as this example sources the content from a demo Ghost CMS.
npm install
npm run dev
# or
yarn install
yarn dev
Your blog should be up and running on http://localhost:3000! If it doesn't work, post on GitHub discussions.
Step 2. Set up environment variables
If you already have a Ghost CMS running, you should create new Content API keys in the Ghost Admin panel under Integrations -> Add custom integration.
Once your keys are generated, copy them into the environment variables as follows. Your .env.local file should look like this:
GHOST_API_URL=...
GHOST_API_KEY=...
Make sure to use the Content API Key.
Step 3. Set up Headless Ghost CMS
If you do not have access to a Ghost CMS, you need to create one for your own content. The demo Ghost CMS is running on Hetzner Cloud, which is described in Ghost CMS on Hetzner Cloud. Note that a Ghost install on localhost is not sufficient for public deploys, as the images on your local computer are not accessible from outside.
Step 4. Deploy on Vercel
You can deploy this app to the cloud with Vercel (Documentation).
Deploy Your Local Project
To deploy your local project to Vercel, push it to GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket and import to Vercel.
Important: When you import your project on Vercel, make sure to click on Environment Variables and set them to match your .env.local file.
