Bugsink Installation

The quickest way to evaluate Bugsink is to spin up a throw-away instance using Docker: 

docker pull bugsink/bugsink:latest

docker run \
  -e SECRET_KEY=dKD40YWST3LPeT6IHaomefKiRoxGQZZzhmtiUc2pUJVwJbgtx6 \
  -e CREATE_SUPERUSER=admin:admin \
  -e PORT=8000 \
  -p 8000:8000 \
  bugsink/bugsink

Visit http://localhost:8000/, where you’ll see a login screen. The default username and password are admin.

Now, you can set up your first project and start tracking errors.

Full Installation Guides

These guides cover the different ways you can deploy the Bugsink Server, depending on your environment and requirements:

  • Docker Installation: Ideal for those who prefer containerized deployments. You can run Bugsink using Docker, with the option to choose between MySQL for persistent storage or SQLite for simplicity. This approach is flexible and can be easily integrated into different orchestration tools like Docker Compose or Kubernetes.

  • Docker Compose: Similar to the Docker installation, but with the added benefit of having a MySQL container spun up simultaneously.

  • Local Install using Virtualenv: A simple and straightforward method for running Bugsink on your local machine, using Python’s virtualenv. This approach is a good fit for Python developers who already have a Python environment set up and want to quickly evaluate Bugsink before deploying it.

  • Single Server Production Setup: A production-ready setup on a single server. A single guide for a containerless setup. You’ll use Nginx as a reverse proxy and Gunicorn to handle application processes, ensuring stability and performance.

Choose the method that aligns with your workflow and get Bugsink up and running in no time. Each approach is designed to streamline the installation process and get you started with minimal hassle.
