Hi folks. Short blerb today!
You probably not need to run MySQL for your personal Ghost site. It's one more thing to install, configure, secure, and patch - so don't bother! SQLite works just fine and dandy.
And if you actually do at some point in the future, for...$reasons?
Ghost has a great export tool in domain.tld/ghost/#/settings/labs that lets you download all of your site's posts, pages, and settings in json format.*
You can export the lot, stand up a new MySQL instance, blaze through the setup screens, and import all your stuff just as it was!
(Yes, I have tested it!)
*Please note: If you intend to migrate between servers, rather than just switching databases, you'll also have to backup the /var/lib/ghost/content/images folder manually.
