Setup a selfhosted newsletter using listmonk (4rkal.com)

I have been trying to setup my own newsletter for ages.

All of the platforms that I researched asked for stupid amounts of money for the services they where offering.

20$/month for 500 subscribers is not fair pricing mailchimp.

So I looked around the web for selfhosted solutions. Finally I found Listmonk, it's a selfhosted newsletter and mailing list manager, written in go and is extremely performant.

So I wrote an article on how to set that up!

I hope this helps some fellow selfhosters!

It's all about getting visitors to come back to a website. People consume so much content every single day, so it's extremely easy for your website to be forgotten in all of the madness.

By having a newsletter you get recurring visitors, not just fly by clicks.

So basically an RSS feed for people who don't understand RSS feeds.

Yup rss is very scary

Scary in what context? For the user? For you as the host? Something else I’m not thinking of?

As a sarcastic joke comment. Whoosh?
