To get started with all the defaults, simply clone the repo and run ./install.sh in your local check-out. Sentry uses Python 3 by default since December 4th, 2020 and Sentry 21.1.0 is the last version to support Python 2.
During the install, a prompt will ask if you want to create a user account. If you require that the install not be blocked by the prompt, run ./install.sh --no-user-prompt.
There may need to be modifications to the included example config files (sentry/config.example.yml and sentry/sentry.conf.example.py) to accommodate your needs or your environment (such as adding GitHub credentials). If you want to perform these, do them before you run the install script and copy them without the .example extensions in the name (such as sentry/sentry.conf.py) before running the install.sh script.
The recommended way to customize your configuration is using the files below, in that order:
config.ymlsentry.conf.py.envw/ environment variables
We currently support a very minimal set of environment variables to promote other means of configuration.
If you have any issues or questions, our Community Forum is at your service! Everytime you run the install script, it will generate a log file, sentry_install_log-<ISO_TIMESTAMP>.txt with the output. Sharing these logs would help people diagnose any issues you might be having.
If you want to install a specific release of Sentry, use the tags/releases on this repo.
We continously push the Docker image for each commit made into Sentry, and other services such as Snuba or Symbolicator to our Docker Hub and tag the latest version on master as :nightly. This is also usually what we have on sentry.io and what the install script uses. You can use a custom Sentry image, such as a modified version that you have built on your own, or simply a specific commit hash by setting the SENTRY_IMAGE environment variable to that image name before running ./install.sh:
SENTRY_IMAGE=getsentry/sentry:83b1380 ./install.shNote that this may not work for all commit SHAs as this repository evolves with Sentry and its satellite projects. It is highly recommended to check out a version of this repository that is close to the timestamp of the Sentry commit you are installing.
If you are using Linux and you need to use sudo when running ./install.sh, modifying the version of Sentry is slightly different. First, run the following:
sudo visudoThen add the following line:
Defaults env_keep += "SENTRY_IMAGE"Save the file then in your terminal run the following
export SENTRY_IMAGE=us.gcr.io/sentryio/sentry:83b1380
sudo ./install.shWhere you replace 83b1380 with the sha you want to use.
Sentry comes with a cleanup cron job that prunes events older than 90 days by default. If you want to change that, you can change the SENTRY_EVENT_RETENTION_DAYS environment variable in .env or simply override it in your environment. If you do not want the cleanup cron, you can remove the sentry-cleanup service from the docker-compose.ymlfile.
If you'd like to protect your Sentry install with SSL/TLS, there are fantastic SSL/TLS proxies like HAProxy and Nginx. Our recommendation is running an external Nginx instance or your choice of load balancer that does the TLS termination and more. Read more over at our productionalizing self-hosted docs.
You need to be on at least Sentry 9.1.2 to be able to upgrade automatically to the latest version. If you are not, upgrade to 9.1.2 first by checking out the 9.1.2 tag on this repo.
We recommend (and sometimes require) you to upgrade Sentry one version at a time. That means if you are running 20.6.0, instead of going directly to 20.8.0, first go through 20.7.0. Skipping versions would work most of the time, but there will be times that we require you to stop at specific versions to ensure essential data migrations along the way.
Pull the version of the repository that you wish to upgrade to by checking out the tagged release of this repo. Make sure to check for any difference between the example config files and your current config files in use. There might be new configuration that has to be added to your adjusted files such as feature flags or server configuration.
The included install.sh script is meant to be idempotent and to bring you to the latest version. What this means is you can and should run install.sh to upgrade to the latest version available. Remember that the output of the script will be stored in a log file, sentry_install_log-<ISO_TIMESTAMP>.txt, which you may share for diagnosis if anything goes wrong.
