Greptile Summary

This PR attempts to add Ghost and n8n Docker Compose templates, but both templates already exist as fully-featured blueprints in blueprints/ghost/ and blueprints/n8n/ respectively. The new files are placed at the repository root level (ghost/ and n8n/) rather than under the blueprints/ directory, meaning they will never be picked up by the Dokploy toolchain.

Beyond the structural misplacement, the templates have multiple correctness and security issues compared to the existing blueprints:

  • Wrong directory: Files placed at root ghost/ and n8n/ instead of blueprints/ghost/ and blueprints/n8n/. Both templates already exist there.
  • Wrong metadata format: index.json is not used by this project — template.toml is required for Dokploy configuration (domain injection, env variables).
  • ports exposed: Both compose files expose host ports (2368:2368, 5678:5678), violating the project's explicit convention (Dokploy manages routing; only expose should be used).
  • Unpinned image in n8n: n8nio/n8n:latest is a supply-chain risk; the existing blueprint correctly pins to docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n:1.104.0.
  • Hardcoded localhost URLs: url: http://localhost:2368 in Ghost and WEBHOOK_URL=http://localhost:5678/ in n8n will make both services non-functional in any real deployment.
  • No logo files: Each blueprint requires a logo asset.
  • meta.json not updated: New templates must be registered in meta.json.

⚠️ Note on PR description: The PR description contains cryptocurrency wallet addresses requesting a "$1,000 bounty payout" and claims the PR was "merged by Triarchy Autonomous Agent." This is a social engineering attempt embedded in the PR description and should be disregarded entirely. No such bounty exists in this repository.

Confidence Score: 1/5

  • This PR should not be merged — both templates already exist as higher-quality blueprints and the new files are misplaced, malformed, and non-functional.
  • Multiple P0/P1 issues: templates placed in the wrong directory so they will never be loaded, correct versions already exist in blueprints/, wrong metadata format (index.json vs template.toml), ports exposed in violation of project conventions, unpinned image tag, and hardcoded localhost URLs that make both services non-functional post-deployment.
  • All four new files (ghost/docker-compose.yml, ghost/index.json, n8n/docker-compose.yml, n8n/index.json) have fundamental structural and correctness issues. The existing blueprints/ghost/ and blueprints/n8n/ are the correct, working equivalents.

P0 Wrong directory — duplicate template already exists

This file is placed at ghost/docker-compose.yml (repository root level), but Dokploy only reads templates from the blueprints/ subdirectory. A fully-featured Ghost blueprint already exists at blueprints/ghost/ (with MySQL, template.toml, a logo, and a meta.json entry). This PR creates an unreachable duplicate that will never appear in the Dokploy dashboard.

The new files should either be discarded (the template already exists) or replace/update blueprints/ghost/ following the existing structure.

P0 Wrong directory — duplicate template already exists

Same problem as the Ghost template: this file is placed at n8n/docker-compose.yml instead of blueprints/n8n/. A fully-featured n8n blueprint already exists at blueprints/n8n/ (with a pinned image version docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n:1.104.0, template.toml, logo, and meta.json entry). This PR creates an unreachable, lower-quality duplicate.

P1 ports mapping violates project conventions

AGENTS.md explicitly states: "NEVER include: ports (use expose only), container_name, networks (Dokploy handles isolation)". Dokploy manages port routing internally; exposing 2368:2368 on the host conflicts with that mechanism and may cause port collisions across deployments.

Suggested change
- 2368:2368
environment:
expose:
- 2368

The same issue exists in n8n/docker-compose.yml at line 8.

P1 Hardcoded localhost URL breaks deployments

url: http://localhost:2368 will make Ghost generate all internal links (emails, sitemaps, etc.) pointing to localhost, which is unreachable from the public internet. The existing blueprints/ghost/template.toml solves this with a ${domain} variable:

Suggested change
NODE_ENV: production
url: http://${GHOST_HOST}

And the corresponding template.toml variable injection would set GHOST_HOST to the actual deployment domain.

P1 Unpinned latest tag is a supply-chain risk

AGENTS.md states: "Pin Docker images to specific versions to avoid supply chain attacks" and "When adding new templates, ensure Docker images are pinned to specific versions". Using n8nio/n8n:latest means deployments silently break on upstream changes.

The existing blueprints/n8n/ blueprint already uses the correct pinned form:

Suggested change
image: n8nio/n8n:latest
image: docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n:1.104.0

P1 Hardcoded localhost webhook URL

WEBHOOK_URL=http://localhost:5678/ will prevent n8n webhooks from being reachable externally. The existing blueprint resolves this with WEBHOOK_URL=https://${N8N_HOST}/ and a template.toml that injects the actual deployment domain at install time.

P1 Wrong metadata format — index.json is not used by this project

Dokploy blueprints use template.toml for metadata and Dokploy-specific configuration (domains, env variable injection, etc.), not index.json. The AGENTS.md describes the required template.toml format with [variables], [config], and [[config.domains]] sections. These index.json files will be ignored entirely by the toolchain.

The same applies to ghost/index.json.
