How to setup sentry with docker

Question

I have found the official sentry image in dockerhub. But the document is incomplete and I can't setup the environment step by step.

We have to setup the database container first but none of them tell how to setup it at first. Specifically I don't know what are the username and password that sentry will use.

And I also get the following error when I run the sentry container:

sudo docker run --name some-sentry --link some-mysql:mysql -d sentry
e888fcf2976a9ce90f80b28bb4c822c07f7e0235e3980e2a33ea7ddeb0ff18ce

sudo docker logs some-sentry
Traceback (most recent call last):

This is a moving target. I suggest checking https://hub.docker.com/_/sentry/ for updates as their documentation is pretty good.

Circa version 8 you can easily convert those instructions to use docker-compose

docker-compose.yml

version: "2"
services:
  redis:
    image: redis:3.0.7
    networks:
    - sentry-net

  postgres:
    image: postgres:9.6.1
    environment:
    - POSTGRES_USER:sentry
    - POSTGRES_PASSWORD:sentry
    # volumes:
    # - ./data:/var/lib/postgresql/data:rw
    networks:
    - sentry-net

  sentry:
    image: sentry:${SENTRY_TAG}
    depends_on:
    - redis
    - postgres
    environment:
    - SENTRY_REDIS_HOST=redis
    - SENTRY_SECRET_KEY=${SECRET}
    - SENTRY_POSTGRES_HOST=postgres
    ports:
    - 9000:9000
    networks:
    - sentry-net

  sentry_celery_beat:
    image: sentry:${SENTRY_TAG}
    depends_on:
    - sentry
    environment:
    - SENTRY_REDIS_HOST=redis
    - SENTRY_SECRET_KEY=${SECRET}
    - SENTRY_POSTGRES_HOST=postgres
    command: "sentry run cron"
    networks:
    - sentry-net

  sentry_celery_worker:
    image: sentry:${SENTRY_TAG}
    depends_on:
    - sentry
    environment:
    - SENTRY_REDIS_HOST=redis
    - SENTRY_SECRET_KEY=${SECRET}
    - SENTRY_POSTGRES_HOST=postgres
    command: "sentry run worker"
    networks:
    - sentry-net

networks:
  sentry-net:

.env

SENTRY_TAG=8.10.0

Run docker run --rm sentry:8.10.0 config generate-secret-key and add the secret

.env updated

SENTRY_TAG=8.10.0
SECRET=somelongsecretgeneratedbythetool

First boot:

docker-compose up -d postgres
docker-compose up -d redis
docker-compose run sentry sentry upgrade

Full boot

docker-compose up -d

Debug

docker-compose ps
docker-compose logs --tail=10
