At Clouding, we work every day to provide you with a complete, efficient, and high-performance cloud solution. As a result of this effort, we are introducing our latest release: a pre-installed image featuring Ubuntu 26.04 + Ghost 6.x.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Switching to the operating system to Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (“Resolute Raccoon”) this new image provides an infrastructure that is significantly more modern, secure, and optimized by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

New features included in the Ubuntu 26.04 + Ghost 6.x image<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We break down the key improvements, which fall into two main categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Improvements to the underlying infrastructure (Ubuntu 26.04)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Integrated Linux Kernel 7.0:<\/strong> Provides deep optimizations for file system management, more efficient network handling, and performance enhancements in virtualized environments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Higher performance on modern hardware<\/strong>: The new operating system manages the latest generation of CPUs much more efficiently, reducing resource consumption and improving server response times (I\/O).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Enhanced security by default:<\/strong> Implements updated mitigations against kernel-level vulnerabilities, stricter OpenSSL cryptographic libraries, and a strong focus on packages compiled with memory safety.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Native use of Dracut:<\/strong> Used for generating the initial RAM disk (initramfs), making server reboots or system recoveries more predictable and stable, event-driven processes in the cloud.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Extended update support: <\/strong>By moving to the 2026 LTS (Long-Term Support) version, the image is guaranteed 5 years of standard security support (until April 2031).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Synergy and compatibility with the Ghost 6.X ecosystem<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Node.js and MySQL optimization:<\/strong> Ghost 6.X officially requires Node.js v22 and MySQL 8. Ubuntu 26.04 provides, by default, C system libraries optimized for these modern software versions, avoiding the dependency conflicts common in the past.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Clean, automated deployments:<\/strong> New internal tools and server installer formats in Ubuntu allow preinstalled images to automatically and unattendedly configure empty databases, self-managed SSL certificates, and secure firewalls from the very first boot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Container-ready:<\/strong> It facilitates the use of a Docker Compose-based architecture, which Ghost 6 has begun adopting as a preview standard for future infrastructure transitions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      <\/div>\n\n\n\n

      In short, this update ensures that your website will run on a server foundation that is significantly faster, protected against modern attacks, and possesses a notably longer operational lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      About the new pre-installed image: Ubuntu 26.04 + Ghost 6.X<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      <\/div>\n\n\n\n

      You can now select this new image via your control panel and take advantage of a much faster server foundation, one that is better protected against modern threats and offers a significantly longer lifecycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
