Dockerfile + sample docker-compose.yml to run Sentry (older versions) with Docker.

Important note: take to account, that I'm new to Docker and DevOps is not my expertise, so please do not consider content of this repository as an example of best (or even good) practices.

While Sentry.io provides possibility to run a self-hosted Sentry in a Docker container, it may not work for everyone, because:

1. They provide an 'all-on-one' container
2. System requirements of this container are enormous (4×CPU / 8Gb RAM / 20Gb disk space)
3. Modern Intel CPU (with SSE4 instructions set) is a strict requirement, so no ARM CPUs :(

In this repository I shared results of my attempts to run older Sentry versions, with much smaller footprint, which still could be useful for anyone, who needs just error logging, aggregation and tracking, without all other stuff, provided by the latest-and-greatest Sentry.

Main goal was to be able to have a self-hosted Sentry at my free-tier Oracle Cloud VPS with ARM Graviton CPUs. As a bonus, this image also could run at Apple Silicon.

Of course, the image should also run without issues on any architecture, supported by the base image, which included x86-64.

1. Fetch or copy repository to your Docker host
2. Create .env file
3. Update system.secret-key
4. Build project
5. Start PostgreSQL service
6. Run Sentry migrations
7. Run project

Fetch this repo with git clone or download and unpack files at your Docker host.

Run:

cp example.env .env

Edit credentials (at least set more safe POSTGRES_PASSWORD).

Edit sentry/config/config.yml file and change system.secret-key value.

Note: It's extremely unconvenient and unsafe part os this setup and should be changed to something better. Probably I'll fix it in future versions. Feel free to create PRs with suggestions.

docker-compose build

At the next step we'll run Sentry migrations, which require PostgreSQL to be up and running. Though, on the first run of PostgreSQL container, it will take some time (under a half of minute) to create an empty database. So, start the service manually and give it some time to initialize:

docker-compose up -d postgres

docker-compose run --rm -it sentry_web upgrade

This command will run Sentry (Django) migrations on a database. After migrations are applied, it will ask you about user account creation. Follow the dialog:

...
 > sentry:0270_auto__add_field_organizationmember_token
 > sentry:0271_auto__del_field_organizationmember_counter
Created internal Sentry project (slug=internal, id=1)

Would you like to create a user account now? [Y/n]: y
Email: address@email.com
Password: 
Repeat for confirmation: 
Should this user be a superuser? [y/N]: y <= IMPORTANT!
...

docker-compose up -d

With default settings, Sentry will be available at port 9000. Log in with the credentials you've set at migrations step, set up email settings, create a new Sentry project and have fun!
