How do I make ghost home page on a subdir? - ghost-blog

Question

I am attempting to run ghost with the Ghost home page, normally displayed at /, instead displayed on the /blog subdir of my site.
I have followed the Ghost routing docs and the Ghost forum post come up with the following routes.yaml:
routes:
collections:
/blog/:
permalink: /{slug}/
template: index
taxonomies:
tag: /tag/{slug}/
author: /author/{slug}/
After starting ghost and visiting http://localhost:2368/blog (or http://localhost:2368/blog/), the page shows:
404
Page not found
Go to the front page →
The 'Go to the front page →' is a link to the same page - /blog.
And in my logs:
[2021-01-26 17:54:58] INFO "GET /blog/" 404 88ms

Answer 1

I was able to solve this by:
Making config.development.json and config.production.json include /blog in the url setting. Eg: "url": "http://localhost:2368/blog",
Using the default routes.yaml file is as below - since url is /blog, everything in routes.yaml will be relative to that:
# EVERYTHING HERE IS RELATIVE TO '/blog' - see `url` in config.(environment).json
routes:
collections:
/:
permalink: /{slug}/
template: index
taxonomies:
tag: /tag/{slug}/
author: /author/{slug}/
