Setup a selfhosted newsletter using listmonk
  • 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.

    Listmonk is an amazing feature packed selfhosted email newsletter manager. It offers loads of features like analytics (clicks, opens, bounces), templates, public subscription pages, importing subscribers and much more!

    Setup a selfhosted newsletter using listmonk | 4rkal's blog

    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.

    Selfhost your own gitea instance - selfhosted, lightweight github alternative
  • Great question

    I always found setting up a git server from scratch to be quite confusing and I also like the webui that gitea offers.

    But recently I have also started moving some of my github projects there so having a link (with a readme and everything) that I can share with others is important.

    In this post I go through how I have setup my Obsidian and Hugo blogging workflow. I use a single vault and auto publish my articles with hotkeys.

    My Obsidian + Hugo blogging setup (Auto publishing with hotkeys) | 4rkal

    I have been using Obsidian for a few months now and I love it! Recently, I started blogging again and I wanted to share how I've integrated Obsidian with Hugo to make the process as smooth as possible.

    My setup includes the following:

    • Using a single Obsidian vault for everything.
    • A blog post template that automatically includes all the necessary Hugo frontmatter.
    • Keeping my personal vault folders private.
    • Auto-publishing articles directly from Obsidian with a single hotkey.
    • Hosting all my markdown files in a public GitHub repository, allowing others to propose changes.

    This is the link to the article: https://4rkal.com/posts/obsidianhugo/

    I hope this helps some fellow obsidian users!

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