Gatsby-starter-ghost template failed to deploy

Hi There,

I’m playing around with Netlify for the first time. I tried this template, but it doesn’t work as expected. The deploy failed with the following error message:

The site URL is: objective-kilby-d2e2d2.netlify.app.
The template claimed to be one click, so I didn’t change anything other than following the instructions to link to my github account. Please help.

Thanks

Try changing build command in netlify.toml to gatsby build. The file should look like this:

[build]
  command = "gatsby build"
  publish = "public/"

[template]
  incoming-hooks = ["Ghost"]

Thanks for the reply hrishikesh,

unfortunately, the one-click template failed to deploy, therefore, what you get is an empty Github repo with no access to files like netlify.toml at all.

I tried to fork the gatsby-starter-ghost repo, modified the netlify.toml file according to your reply, and linked the repo to a new netlify site. The deployment still failed. I have to manually change the siteUrl inside siteConfig.js from localhost to the netlify site URL, in order to get it finally working. I’m not a web developer, but it must be something wrong with the template. I hope it gets fixed soon.

Hi, @spikeliu1984. That template wasn’t created (and is not maintained) by Netlify. If you would like to see that template improved, it might help to file an issue on the repo itself here:
