# A statically generated blog example using Next.js and Ghost
This example showcases Next.js's [Static Generation](https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/pages) feature using [Ghost](https://ghost.org/) 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](https://github.com/styxlab/next-cms-ghost).
## Deploy your own
Once you have access to [the environment variables you'll need](#step-2-set-up-environment-variables), deploy the example using [Vercel](https://vercel.com?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=next-example).

## How to use
Execute [`create-next-app`](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/packages/create-next-app) with [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/init), [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/cli/create/), or [pnpm](https://pnpm.io) to bootstrap the example:
```bash
npx create-next-app --example cms-ghost cms-ghost-app
```
```bash
yarn create next-app --example cms-ghost cms-ghost-app
```
```bash
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.
```bash
npm install
npm run dev
# or
yarn install
yarn dev
```
Your blog should be up and running on [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)! If it doesn't work, post on [GitHub discussions](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/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:
```bash
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](https://www.jamify.org/2020/04/07/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](https://vercel.com?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=next-example) ([Documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs/deployment)).
#### Deploy Your Local Project
To deploy your local project to Vercel, push it to GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket and [import to Vercel](https://vercel.com/import/git?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=next-example).
**Important**: When you import your project on Vercel, make sure to click on **Environment Variables** and set them to match your `.env.local` file.
#### Deploy from Our Template
Alternatively, you can deploy using our template by clicking on the Deploy button below.
