## Listmonk by cloudimg
Listmonk is the popular open source, self-hosted newsletter and mailing-list manager - manage subscribers and lists, design and send campaigns and transactional email through your own SMTP at high throughput, and track opens and clicks. This Amazon Machine Image delivers Listmonk fully installed and configured, so a private email platform is running within minutes of launch. The current release available is Listmonk 6.
## Application Stack
The Listmonk server (a single Go binary) runs behind nginx as a reverse proxy. PostgreSQL is the datastore for subscribers, lists, campaigns and analytics. The server and database bind to the loopback interface.
## Secure First Boot
On the first boot of every instance a one shot service initialises the database and creates a single super-administrator account with a per-instance password, written to a root only file, and generates a fresh PostgreSQL password. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
## Bring Your Own SMTP
The image ships no email-sending credentials. Sign in as the administrator and configure an SMTP server - Amazon SES or any provider - under Settings to start sending campaigns.
## cloudimg Support
cloudimg provides 24/7 technical support for this image, covering deployment, SMTP and deliverability configuration, upgrades, TLS termination and database administration.
