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!

If you have any feedback please feel free to comment it bellow.

    So I’m curious: why does everyone suddenly have newsletters?

    There’s not a single selfhosted forum/subreddit/community/magazine/whatever that’s NOT full of lots and lots and lots of people who suddenly have the need for a newsletter.

    Like who is subscribing, and to what, and like… why?

      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.
