docker-bookstack VS Listmonk

This thread is relevant.

I read this article, but the approach there is quite different than the manuals here https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-bookstack and here https://registry.hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/bookstack/

There's a LinuxSever.io container for BookStack: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-bookstack

I'm using the docker-compose image from the linuxserver.io docker page, which is what is linked from Bookstack's website: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-bookstack

According to this issue using DB_Password instead of DB_PASS might work.

But check out BookStack if you haven't already. I might take a look at it. It has html instead of markdown if you want to have a look at the code part of the formatted content you made. I'm a bit more comfortable with html than markdown. Plus I like that I can give labels/tags and then search using them

It depends on the container you use, Most seem to provide guidance on what paths you'll need to mount as volumes. I know the linuxserver.io [1] container puts all required files into a single `/config` directory to mount.

I have mainly name and email fields in the newsletter signup and there is no verification. Then I manually blacklisted all the bots in the email service Listmonk.

Listmonk – An open-source alternative to Mailchimp just released version 3. It’s great as a stand-alone newsletter. Also seems like a low lift for capturing leads for side projects.

Here is another great self hosted solution that I came across. Really high performance (written in Go). No affiliation but well done open source product.

When I searched for this I had a very hard time finding a right answer because all the results were SEO blogs advertising their newsletter services (Mailchimp, Convertkit, etc.), which is not the same thing.

So I wrote this overview covering all the options I found. Additional input is welcome.

Even though Listmonk seems like the best free & open source option, there aren't many guides for it and the documentation is quite limited. So [I've been having trouble getting it running on a CentOS server](https://github.com/knadh/listmonk/issues/1004#issuecomment-1...).

It's a shame that it seems to be used by thousands of people but almost no one bothers to create guides or improve the docs.
