An Automated Content Publishing Platform for Ghost
GhostFlow — Automated Content Publishing, Done Right
GhostFlow is a packaged content automation platform built for teams that want a professional publishing workflow without turning content management into a full-time job.
It combines Ghost, Jenkins, Docker, and Netlify into a reliable, repeatable system that removes manual steps, reduces operational risk, and keeps your content flowing smoothly from draft to production.
You focus on writing. GhostFlow handles the rest.
What You Get
GhostFlow is delivered as a fully configured, ready-to-run product, not an open-ended service, no subscription fees.
Included in every deployment:
- Ghost CMS running in Docker for portability and consistency
- A Jenkins-powered automation pipeline
- One-click or scheduled publishing to Netlify
- Automated Ghost database backups
- Clear documentation and ownership handoff
Everything is designed to be transparent, maintainable, and client-owned.
How GhostFlow Works
Ingestion: You author content in the clean Ghost editor.
Orchestration: Jenkins builds your Ghost site with Gatsby and deploy static site to GitHub.
Distribution: Netlify pushes the Static Snapshot to a global CDN (Content Delivery Network) for 100/100 performance.
Persistence: Automated backup of Ghost site, including its database and images.
Once set up, GhostFlow runs quietly in the background—doing its job without getting in your way.
A Product First, With Guided Setup
GhostFlow is delivered as a product with limited consultation, not ongoing support.
The consultation phase is focused and time-bound:
- Understanding your publishing workflow
- Configuring environments correctly
- Ensuring a smooth handoff
After delivery, the system operates independently. No retainers. No hidden dependencies.
Who GhostFlow Is For
Traditional CMS (WordPress): Slow, insecure, requires monthly plugin updates, and crashes under traffic spikes.GhostFlow: Blazing fast, inherently secure (no public database), zero maintenance, and scales to millions of hits without breaking a sweat.
GhostFlow is a great fit if you:
- Run a content-driven business or practice
- Want predictable, repeatable publishing
- Care about backups and reliability
- Prefer owning your infrastructure
- Don’t want vendor lock-in or complex platforms
Tools, Security, and Ownership
- Can be deployed entirely on client-provided infrastructure
- No proprietary tooling or hosted platforms are required
- All pipelines and configurations are fully visible and documented
You own the system. You control how it evolves.
Optional Enhancements
For teams that want to go further:
- Workflow customization
- Extended CI/CD automation
- Monitoring and observability
- Knowledge transfer for internal teams
All enhancements are clearly scoped and delivered independently.
Why GhostFlow Exists
GhostFlow grew out of real-world experience running content platforms at scale. It’s designed to bring the same level of reliability and discipline used in enterprise systems to small teams—without the overhead.
Pricing
GhostFlow eliminates the 'SaaS Tax.' Most platforms charge you $50–$100/month for life. With GhostFlow, you pay once for the engine, and it runs on your own infrastructure for pennies a day. You own the machine; you don't rent it.
Rather than charging by the hour, pricing is determined by:
- Number of sites
- Hosting and infrastructure preferences
- Automation and backup requirements
- Optional enhancements selected
Each engagement is quoted upfront with clear deliverables and no hidden costs.
If GhostFlow is a good fit, you’ll receive a single, transparent quote before any work begins.
