Listmonk is a self-hosted, single-binary newsletter and mailing list manager - subscribers, lists, campaigns, transactional email API, templates, and analytics in one Go binary. Unlike bare Listmonk AMIs that ship with a public-facing admin UI, no super-admin user, and PostgreSQL listening on 0.0.0.0, this Lynxroute build is ready out of the box: super-admin user with unique password generated at first boot, admin UI bound to loopback and reachable only through Nginx with TLS, PostgreSQL bound to 127.0.0.1, UFW firewall pre-configured, and a CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base.
AGPL-3.0 license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.
Overview
This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and support.
WHAT IS LISTMONK
Listmonk is an open-source, self-hosted newsletter and mailing list manager built as a single statically linked Go binary. It supports double or single opt-in subscriber lists, public and private lists, segmented campaigns, transactional email via REST API, HTML and plain-text templates, scheduled and continuous campaigns, bounce processing, click and view tracking, public archive pages, multi-language i18n, custom subscriber attributes, and a built-in admin UI. Connects to any standard SMTP relay (Amazon SES, SendGrid, Postmark, Mailgun, or self-hosted Postfix). Persists subscribers, campaigns, templates, and tracking data in PostgreSQL. AGPL-3.0 license, no vendor lock-in.
WHAT THIS AMI ADDS
Security hardening:
- Super-admin account with unique password (EC2 Instance ID) generated at first boot - never baked into the AMI
- Listmonk admin UI bound to 127.0.0.1:9000 - reachable only through the Nginx reverse proxy with TLS
- PostgreSQL 16 local, listening on 127.0.0.1 only - database password generated per instance
- Nginx reverse proxy with TLS, HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect, security headers
- UFW firewall pre-configured - only TCP 22, 80, 443 are exposed
- fail2ban, AppArmor
- CVE scan - every image is scanned for vulnerabilities before release
OS hardening (CIS Level 1):
- CIS Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Level 1 benchmark applied via ansible-lockdown
- auditd, SSH hardening, kernel hardening, IMDSv2 enforced
Compliance artifacts:
- SBOM - CycloneDX 1.6 at /etc/lynxroute/sbom.json
- CIS Conformance Report at /etc/lynxroute/cis-report.html
- CIS Tailored Profile at /usr/share/doc/lynxroute/CIS_TAILORED_PROFILE.md
Highlights
- Listmonk security baked in: super-admin user with unique password generated at first boot, admin UI bound to 127.0.0.1 and reachable only through Nginx with TLS, PostgreSQL bound to loopback - unlike bare Listmonk AMIs that expose the admin UI directly on TCP 9000, ship without a super-admin user, and leave PostgreSQL listening on 0.0.0.0.
- CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: auditd, fail2ban, AppArmor, SSH key-only, IMDSv2 enforced. CVE-scanned before every release. SBOM (CycloneDX) and CIS Conformance Report included.
- Full self-hosted email platform: subscribers, lists, campaigns, transactional REST API, templates, analytics, bounce processing, and i18n in a single Go binary on PostgreSQL 16. AGPL-3.0 license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in, ever.
