listmonk

listmonk is alpha software and may change and break. Use with caution. That said, it has been in active use at zerodha.com for several months where it has processed hundreds of campaigns and tens of millions of e-mails.

listmonk is a standalone, self-hosted, newsletter and mailing list manager. It is fast, feature-rich, and packed into a single binary. It uses a PostgreSQL database as its data store.

Installation and use

  • Download the latest release for your platform and extract the listmonk binary. For example: tar -C $HOME/listmonk -xzf listmonk_$VERSION_$OS_$ARCH.tar.gz
  • Navigate to the directory containing the binary (cd $HOME/listmonk) and run ./listmonk --new-config to generate a sample config.toml and add the DB configuration.
  • ./listmonk --install to setup the DB.
  • Run ./listmonk and visit http://localhost:9000.
  • Visit the Settings page to configure your instance.
  • Since there is no user auth yet, it's best to put listmonk behind a proxy like Nginx and setup basicauth on all endpoints except for the few endpoints that need to be public. Here is a sample nginx config for production use.

Configuration and customization

See the configuration Wiki page.

Running on Docker

You can pull the official Docker Image from Docker Hub.

You can checkout the docker-compose.yml to get an idea of how to run listmonk with PostgreSQL together using Docker (also see configuring with environment variables). Please visit INSTALL.md for detailed instructions on how to setup Listmonk with Docker.

Alternatively, to run a demo of listmonk, you can quickly spin up a local setup with:

docker-compose up -d demo-db demo-app.

NOTE: This doesn't persist Postgres data after you stop and remove the container, this setup is intended only for demo. DO NOT use the demo setup in production.

Other deployments

Heroku

Using the Nginx buildpack can be used to deploy listmonk on Heroku and use Nginx as a proxy to setup basicauth. This one-click Heroku deploy button provides an automated default deployment.

Deploy

Please note that configuration options must be set using environment configruation variables.
