In this post, I&apos;ll share my experience and insights on uploading videos locally to Ghost.</p><h2 id="supported-video-formats-and-size-limits">Supported Video Formats and Size Limits</h2><p>Ghost supports video uploads in the following formats:&#xA0;<code>.mp4</code>,&#xA0;<code>.webm</code>, and&#xA0;<code>.ogg. </code></p><p>The maximum file size for video uploads depends on your <a href="https://ghost.org/pricing?via=iris74&amp;ref=iristhemes.com" rel="noreferrer">Ghost(Pro)</a> plan:</p><ul><li><strong>Free trial</strong>: 5MB</li><li><strong>Starter</strong>: 5MB</li><li><strong>Creator</strong>: 100MB</li><li><strong>Team</strong>: 250MB</li><li><strong>Business</strong>: 1GB</li></ul><h3 id="self-hosted-ghost-video-file-size">Self-hosted Ghost Video File size</h3><p>If you use the <a href="https://iristhemes.com/blog/7-best-ghost-cms-hosting-providers/" rel="noreferrer">self-hosted Ghost</a> version, you can edit your NGINX configuration file if you need to increase the upload limit for your <a href="https://iristhemes.com/blog/7-best-ghost-cms-hosting-providers/" rel="noreferrer">self-hosted Ghost</a> instance. Navigate to your Ghost installation folder, open the NGINX config file, and modify the&#xA0;<code>client_max_body_size</code>&#xA0;value.</p><p>The first step is to check your NGINX configuration&apos;s default max upload size. Ghost has a default limit of 50MB, but you may need to increase this if you&apos;re working with larger files. It would help if you did this:</p><ol><li>Log into your server and navigate to your Ghost installation folder:&#xA0;<code>cd /var/www/ghost</code>.</li><li>Open your NGINX config file:&#xA0;<code>nano system/files/your-domain-name.conf</code>.</li><li>Locate the line&#xA0;<code>client_max_body_size {VALUE}M;</code>&#xA0;and update the&#xA0;<code>{VALUE}</code>&#xA0;to your desired limit (e.g.,&#xA0;<code>client_max_body_size 150M;</code>&#xA0;for a 150MB limit).</li><li>Save the file and restart NGINX:&#xA0;<code>sudo service nginx restart</code>.</li></ol><h2 id="embed-videos-in-email-newsletters">Embed Videos in Email Newsletters</h2><p>This is not the case only when sending Ghost newsletters - most email clients have security limitations that prevent embedded videos from displaying correctly.</p><p>A workaround for including a video in a newsletter is to use a hyperlinked screenshot or title screen image instead of directly embedding the video. By including a clickable image, you can still provide a link for readers to view the video while ensuring the newsletter content displays correctly across different email platforms.</p><h2 id="deleting-unused-video-files">Deleting Unused Video Files</h2><p>Another concern I&apos;ve encountered is the ability to delete unused video files from the server. Removing a video from a post doesn&apos;t automatically delete the file from the server.&#xA0;This can lead to accumulating unused files over time.</p><p>Ghost does not have built-in functionality to delete these unused files automatically. If you&apos;re self-hosting Ghost, you can manually delete the files via SSH. </p><p>How to delete unused video files on Ghost</p><ol><li>Log into your server and navigate to your Ghost installation folder:&#xA0;<code>cd /var/www/ghost/content/media</code>.</li><li>Inside media folder you will find folders ordered by year</li><li>Browse them and look for files that you want to delete</li><li>Be careful because you could delete something that you are using </li></ol><p>A handy <a href="https://github.com/ghostboard/ghost-purge-images?ref=iristhemes.com" rel="noreferrer">ghost-purge-images</a> tool can help you quickly manage and clean up unused media files. You can delete unused images, video, and audio files in any post, page, or meta data and save space on your server.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-bookmark-card"><a class="kg-bookmark-container" href="https://github.com/ghostboard/ghost-purge-images?ref=iristhemes.com"><div class="kg-bookmark-content"><div class="kg-bookmark-title">GitHub - ghostboard/ghost-purge-images: CLI tool to display &amp; purge the uploaded images, video and audio files that currently are not used in any post, page or meta data</div><div class="kg-bookmark-description">CLI tool to display &amp; purge the uploaded images, video and audio files that currently are not used in any post, page or meta data - ghostboard/ghost-purge-images</div><div class="kg-bookmark-metadata"><img class="kg-bookmark-icon" src="https://github.githubassets.com/assets/pinned-octocat-093da3e6fa40.svg" alt="Uploading Videos Directly to Ghost: A Developer&apos;s Guide"><span class="kg-bookmark-author">GitHub</span><span class="kg-bookmark-publisher">ghostboard</span></div></div><div class="kg-bookmark-thumbnail"><img src="https://opengraph.githubassets.com/b38c0631b6e2d1cc6b088c45c934cdb3b983038331e918d9cd1fcb69bf53cd22/ghostboard/ghost-purge-images" alt="Uploading Videos Directly to Ghost: A Developer&apos;s Guide"></div></a></figure><p>It works with Ghost versions 3, 4, and 5, and is compatible with Ghost 2.16 and newer.&#xA0;With simple commands, you can quickly identify and remove unused files, freeing up space and keeping your Ghost blog organized and efficient.</p><h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2><p>In summary, uploading videos directly to Ghost is a nice feature that can enhance your posts, but it has some limitations and challenges. As a developer, it&apos;s important to know the supported video formats, size limits, and potential issues that may arise during the upload process.</p><p>To enhance the video player experience, Ghost could add features like maximizing the video window and optimizing the player for mobile devices.</p><p>If you encounter any further issues or have additional questions, please <a href="https://iristhemes.com/contact" rel="noreferrer">contact us</a>.
