Set a SECRET_KEY that is a long random string of at least 50 characters and set CREATE_SUPERUSER with your admin email and password. Also map port 8000 from the container to the host, because skipping it can make the server unreachable in a browser. ### Can I point an existing Sentry SDK at Bugsink? Yes, copy the Bugsink project DSN into the Sentry error-tracking SDK settings so the SDK knows where to send errors. If the DSN is missing or wrong, the application can still run, but Bugsink will not receive the error reports. ### How can I confirm that error reports are reaching Bugsink? Send one deliberate test error from real application code rather than only the browser console. If that error appears in Bugsink, the setup works; if it does not, check the DSN, SDK, or port configuration. ### What personal API token features are available in recent Bugsink updates? Bugsink 2.6.0 added personal API tokens with selectable capabilities. ## Alternatives - Datadog: Datadog Agent is an on-host monitoring agent that collects metrics, logs, and traces from hosts, containers, and Kubernetes clusters and se… - GlitchTip: GlitchTip is an open-source error tracking and monitoring platform that collects and organizes application errors so you can find and fix b… - Honeybadger: Honeybadger is an application health monitoring tool built by developers for developers. - Rollbar: Rollbar collects errors that happen in your application, notifies you, and analyzes them so you can debug and fix them. - Sentry: Monitors applications for real-time errors, sending alerts via email, SMS, or chat, showing detailed diagnostic information and release imp… --- Source: Our Local Host (https://ourlocalhost.com/app/193/bugsink), the self-hosted and open-source app directory.
