Self-Hosted Email Infrastructure: When and How
Reloop Labs
Why teams self-host email, what Reloop gives you out of the box, and how to deploy with Docker Compose.
When self-hosting makes sense
Data residency requirements, cost at scale, security review of source code, or simply not wanting vendor lock-in—these are the common drivers.
What you get with Reloop
Reloop is Apache 2.0: transactional API, campaigns, SMTP, webhooks, templates, and analytics—same product hosted or self-deployed.
Docker Compose quickstart
Clone the repo, configure environment variables, and docker compose up. See our self-hosting guide for production hardening.
