Listmonk is a powerful email newsletter service that allows you to manage and send newsletters to your subscribers. It can be installed on various operating systems, including Fedora CoreOS Latest. This tutorial will guide you through the steps needed to install Listmonk on your Fedora CoreOS Latest machine.

Prerequisites

• A Fedora CoreOS Latest machine with root access
• A domain name and an SSL certificate

Step 1: Install Docker

To install Listmonk on your machine, you need to first install Docker. Follow the steps below to install Docker on your Fedora CoreOS Latest machine.

$ sudo mkdir /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d
$ sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/override.conf

Add the following lines in the override.conf file:

[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd --containerd=/run/containerd/containerd.sock

Save and close the file.

Reload the systemctl daemon and start the Docker service.

$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl enable docker.service
$ sudo systemctl start docker.service
$ sudo systemctl status docker.service

Verify that Docker is running.

$ sudo docker version

Step 2: Install Listmonk

To install Listmonk using Docker, run the following command:

$ sudo docker run -d \
-p 8999:8080 \
--name listmonk \
-v /var/listmonk:/data \
-e LISTMONK_BASE_URL=https://your_domain.com \
-e LISTMONK_DB_DRIVER=sqlite3 \
listmonk/listmonk:latest

Note: Replace "your_domain.com" with your actual domain name.

The above command will download the latest Listmonk image and start the service on port 8999. It will also create a volume named "/var/listmonk" to store the data and set the necessary environment variables.

Verify that Listmonk is running.

$ sudo docker ps

You should see the Listmonk container running.

Step 3: Configure Nginx

To access Listmonk from your domain name, you need to configure Nginx as a reverse proxy.

$ sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/listmonk.conf

Add the following lines in the listmonk.conf file:

server {
    listen        80;
    server_name   your_domain.com;
    return        301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name your_domain.com;
    ssl_certificate /path/to/your.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /path/to/your.key;
    location / {
        proxy_pass         http://localhost:8999;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header   Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header   Connection keep-alive;
        proxy_set_header   Host $host;
        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
    }
}

Note: Replace "your_domain.com" with your actual domain name and update the path to your SSL certificate.

Save and close the file.

Reload Nginx and enable the service.

$ sudo systemctl reload nginx
$ sudo systemctl enable nginx.service
$ sudo systemctl start nginx.service
$ sudo systemctl status nginx.service

Step 4: Access Listmonk

Open a web browser and navigate to your domain name. You should see the Listmonk login page.
