Journey

Blog engine written in Go that runs Ghost themes and provides a browser admin area for posts.

Journey is a blog engine written in Go that is compatible with Ghost themes. It serves the blog and an admin area in the browser, at /admin/, where posts are created and updated, and it keeps its data in a SQLite database file. Releases are downloaded as a zip file for each operating system, and the code can also be built from source. The Ubuntu Server guide in the project’s wiki runs it as a background service that starts again after a reboot. Plugins are written in Lua, and the wiki describes how to move an existing Ghost installation to Journey.

Worth knowing

The README states that Journey is still in alpha and has not been tested in production, and the homepage repeats the alpha label.
