I have run Ghost for quite some time now and I have been through two upgrade process so I think it will be a good idea to save a procedure for easy upgrading. I found the instruction here.
Manually upgrade Ghost I usually use manual upgrade method because I don’t inspect the automatic scripts yet if it is compatible with my installation.

Puppet is a software which can automate configuration and management of machines and software running on them. This tool has great benefits for system administrator because it helps sysadmin to be the dream of every sysadmin, a lazy sysadmin. Puppet has great support for many operating system. Unfortunately its installation on my favourite OS, FreeBSD, is not so smooth. An introduction of Puppet installation which I found in BSD Magazine January 2012 edition is a starting point but I have to make some modification due to some of deprecated configurations. So, here I want to show you how to install and configure the basic of Puppet in FreeBSD in its master-agent scenario.

Heartbeat is a daemon that provides cluster infrastructure (communication and membership) services to its clients. This allow clients to know appearance or disappearance of peer processes on other machines and to easily exchange message with them.(Heartbeat - Linux-HA)
Heartbeat clusters work only one on same network so if we setup different cluster (different authkeys) on same network it will show up as an error in log file. We can still setup more than one cluster in same network by setting different communication port for heartbeat.

Git is a distributed version control system version control system track history of a collection of files and includes the functionality to revert to another version.
Distributed version control system does not necessarily have a central server which stores data.
User can copy existing repository (cloning).
Every clone contains full history of the collection of files and a clone repository has the same functionality as the original repository.
Users with sufficient authorization can push changes from their local repositories to remote repositories, they can also fetch or pull changes from other repositories to their local Git repository.

When using DRBD, we can grow DRBD disk online so we do not need to disturb the production process we have in the server. The requirement to this feature is the backing block device can be resized online so it is possible to resize the DRBD disk. There are two criterias that must be filled.
The backing device must be managed by a logical volume manager such as LVM The resource must currently be in the Connected connection state. First, we need to grow the backing device on both nodes and make sure only one node in Primary node.

SMTP use TLS/SSL to secure connection to server and AUTH so only authenticated user can use the SMTP service. This tutorial will show steps to debug SMTP TLS/SSL and AUTH from Linux/Unix terminal.
encode your login information in base64, the following perl command which requires MIME::Base64 will do encoding
perl -MMIME::Base64 -e 'print encode_base64("\000your_username\000your_password")' # example output # AHlvdXJfdXNlcm5hbWUAeW91cl9wYXNzd29yZA== connect to smtp server

Linux LVM is a logical volume manager for Linux kernel. Logical volume manager provides method of allocation space in mass storage device that more flexible than traditional partitioning scheme. Logical volume manager can create, resize, and combine partitions, potentially without interrupting system. (Wikipedia)
schema: new device /dev/sda create needed partitions, label them with 8e (Linux LVM)
# fdisk /dev/sda format partitons
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1 create physical volume
# pvcreate /dev/sda1 extend existing volume group
