Ghost on Azure App Service

This is my fork of Ghost 1.0 with changes to run on Azure App Service. Read here for a full introduction.

Branches

This repo is setup with a few branches for easier maintenance. The ghost branch is where I commit the Ghost releases as they come out unchanged. The azure branch (the default branch) is where I make only the changes necessary to get it running on Azure App Service. I rebase this branch off of ghost as new releases come out. I then create a separate branch for each site I deploy. This way I can make theme customizations and tweaks to individual sites and rebase those changes off of the azure branch.

Changes on the Azure Branch

• Add a db.js file in the root to make it easy to initialize/migrate a SQLite database (since I can't run the CLI tool on Azure).
• Force config.js to get the port it should run on from PORT env variable instead of SERVER_PORT. This is to make iisnode happy.
• Add web.config & iisnode.yml - standard stuff to host node on IIS.
• Add support for HSTS headers. Technically, this isn't required to get Ghost running on Azure, but you should probably do it anyway.
