### API Testing Results (2025-12-23)
All 8 newsletter APIs tested successfully via curl. Subscribers created and welcome emails triggered.

### Infrastructure Updates (2026-02-03)

**Issues Fixed:**
- Listmonk's transactional email API was not sending emails despite returning success
- Newsletter-api now sends welcome emails directly via Resend API (bypassing broken Listmonk tx)
- Fixed endpoint URL from `/api/subscribe/subscribe` to `/subscribe` in all 8 frontend components
- Fixed Traefik routing for newsletter-api

**Docker/Deployment Fixes:**
- Created missing docker-compose.yml for compost-capitalism, trippin, alltornet
- Created Dockerfile and nginx.conf for compost-capitalism (static export)
- Fixed Traefik port configuration (nginx uses 80, not 3000)
- All 8 sites now running in Docker with webhook auto-deployment

**All Sites Verified Accessible:**
- mycofi.earth ✓
