+# listmonk
+
+## Overview
+
+Self-hosted newsletter and mailing list manager powered by PostgreSQL.
+This stack deploys listmonk with persistent storage, automatic database
+initialization/upgrades, and support for reverse proxy integration.
+
+## Project Details
+
+-   **Project Repository:** https://github.com/knadh/listmonk
+-   **Container Image:** https://hub.docker.com/r/listmonk/listmonk
+-   **Compose Example:** https://github.com/knadh/listmonk/blob/master/docker-compose.yml
+-   **Documentation:** https://listmonk.app/docs/
+-   **Reverse Proxy Port:** `9000` (configurable with `LISTMONK_PORT`)
+
+## Environment Variable Notes
+
+Most variables are optional because sane defaults are already included
+in the compose file.
+
+### Database
+
+    POSTGRES_IMAGE – PostgreSQL container image
+    POSTGRES_RESTART – Restart policy for PostgreSQL
+    POSTGRES_USER – PostgreSQL username
+    POSTGRES_PASSWORD – PostgreSQL password
+    POSTGRES_DB – PostgreSQL database name
+
+### listmonk
+
+    LISTMONK_IMAGE – listmonk container image
+    LISTMONK_RESTART – Restart policy for listmonk
+    LISTMONK_PORT – Web UI / proxy port
+    LISTMONK_HOSTNAME – Container hostname
+    LISTMONK_SSLMODE – PostgreSQL SSL mode
+    LISTMONK_MAX_OPEN – Maximum open DB connections
+    LISTMONK_MAX_IDLE – Maximum idle DB connections
+    LISTMONK_MAX_LIFETIME – DB connection lifetime
+
+### Initial Admin User
+
+These are only used during first startup.
+
+    LISTMONK_ADMIN_USER – Initial admin username
+    LISTMONK_ADMIN_PASSWORD – Initial admin password
+
+### General
+
+    VOL_PATH – Base path for persistent storage
+    TZ – Container timezone
+
+## Volume Notes
+
+    /data/listmonk/db
+        PostgreSQL database storage
+
+    /data/listmonk/uploads
+        listmonk uploads and media storage
+
+Back up both directories regularly.
+
+## Network Notes
+
+Requires an external Docker network named:
+
+    proxy
+
+Create it manually if it does not already exist:
+
+```bash
+docker network create proxy
+```
+
+Internal application traffic uses the private:
+
+    listmonk
+
+bridge network.
+
+## Additional Notes / Gotchas
+
+-   The stack automatically runs:
+
+    - database installation
+    - schema upgrades
+    - application startup
+
+    on container launch.
+
+-   The install and upgrade commands are idempotent and safe to rerun.
+
+-   Change all default passwords before exposing publicly.
+
+-   Designed for use behind a reverse proxy such as Traefik, Caddy,
+    Nginx Proxy Manager, or SWAG.
+
