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 your configuration (SMTP and Postgres DB credentials primarily).
  • ./listmonk --install to setup the DB.
  • Run ./listmonk and visit http://localhost:9000.
  • 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.

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.

  • docker-compose up -d app db to run all the services together.
  • docker-compose run --rm app ./listmonk --install to setup the DB.
  • Visit http://localhost:9000.

Alternatively, to run a demo of listmonk, you can quickly spin up a container 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.
