+
+**Task:** Ghost CMS Security Update  
+**Document Type:** deployment-plan  
+**Status:** ACTIVE  
+**Last Updated:** 2026-03-10  
+**Target Version:** 6.19.3 (patches CVE-2026-26980 + CVE-2026-29784)
+
+---
+
+## Pre-Flight
+
+SSH into Ghost VPS:
+
+```bash
+ssh root@64.50.188.14
+```
+
+Check current Ghost version to confirm:
+
+```bash
+ghost version
+```
+
+If `ghost` command not found, detect install method:
+
+```bash
+which ghost
+```
+
+```bash
+docker ps | grep ghost
+```
+
+```bash
+find / -name "ghost" -type d 2>/dev/null | grep -v proc | head -10
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 1 — Identify Install Method
+
+**If `ghost version` works → Ghost CLI install. Follow Path A.**
+
+**If `docker ps` shows a Ghost container → Docker install. Follow Path B.**
+
+---
+
+## Path A: Ghost CLI Update (most likely)
+
+**Step 1 — Navigate to Ghost directory:**
+
+```bash
+cd /var/www/ghost
+```
+
+**Step 2 — Run the update:**
+
+```bash
+ghost update 6.19.3
+```
+
+**Step 3 — Confirm version:**
+
+```bash
+ghost version
+```
+
+**Step 4 — Check status:**
+
+```bash
+ghost status
+```
+
+Expected output: Ghost is running, version 6.19.3
+
+---
+
+## Path B: Docker Update
+
+**Step 1 — Find the compose file:**
+
+```bash
+find / -name "docker-compose.yml" 2>/dev/null | xargs grep -l ghost
+```
+
+**Step 2 — Navigate to it:**
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/ghost/compose/
+```
+
+**Step 3 — Update the image tag in docker-compose.yml:**
+
+Change:
+```
+image: ghost:6.16.1
+```
+To:
+```
+image: ghost:6.19.3
+```
+
+**Step 4 — Pull and restart:**
+
+```bash
+docker-compose pull
+```
+
+```bash
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+**Step 5 — Confirm:**
+
+```bash
+docker ps | grep ghost
+```
+
+---
+
+## Post-Update Verification
+
+**Check the admin panel loads:**
+
+```
+https://firefrostgaming.com/ghost
+```
+
+**Verify version in admin footer — should read 6.19.3**
+
+**Check site is serving correctly:**
+
+```
+https://firefrostgaming.com
+```
+
+**Check Ghost process is healthy:**
+
+```bash
+ghost status
+```
+
+---
+
+## If Something Goes Wrong
+
+**Ghost CLI rollback:**
+
+```bash
+ghost update --rollback
+```
+
+**Check logs:**
+
+```bash
+ghost log
+```
+
+**Ghost service restart:**
+
+```bash
+ghost restart
+```
