Listmonk; Static Files
Not sure why my post was deleted, but here it is again:
Hello,
I've deployed Listmonk on Railway, and noticed that Listmonk instances deployed on docker are able to create static file directories by editing the docker-compose.yml and adding a --static-dir argument. The user then needs to place the static files right next to the docker-compose.yml file (see guide: https://yasoob.me/posts/setting-up-listmonk-opensource-newsletter-mailing/#custom-static-files and docs: https://listmonk.app/docs/templating/#system-templates).
My question is: how could this be done with Railway and the GitHub Dockerfile? Should the files be added to GitHub?

Hi everyone! 👋
I have been using Mailchimp for my mailing list for a while and even though it is great, it is super expensive. I have 5000+ people in my list and that puts me in their $78 plan. I send the newsletter very rarely and don’t really earn anything from the mailing list so it was really hard for me to justify the $78. I had recently in...

- copy the
static directory into your own listmonk repo
- make the changes to the contents of that static directory as you see fit
- add a COPY static /listmonk/static line before the COPY config.sh ./config.sh line to your Dockerfile
- overwrite the default CMD command by appending CMD ["./listmonk", "--static-dir=/listmonk/static"] to your Dockerfile
keep in mind this is just how i am interpreting the instructions given by the blog, I may have gotten something wrong, but at minimum this should give you a good starting point.
as for the deleted post, i have no clue, sorryOk, I'll give that a try and report back. Thanks @brody192
no problem!
Hi @Brody! I'm not sure how to add this part:
overwrite the default CMD command by appending CMD ["./listmonk", "--static-dir=/listmonk/static"] to your DockerfileMy Dockerfile looks like this:
add another like to your dockerfile and put the CMD command on that line
WOW, it works! I've been stuck on this for a year now, and thought Railway wasn't capable of doing this. You're amazing, Brody!
railway is capable of doing more things you could ever imagine 😉
and tbh since I've never touched listmonk ever, I'm very surprised that I was able to give you instructions that worked on the first try
thank you for the train, very much appreciated ❤️
