In 2 minutes: Self-hosted sentry 9 with Docker

This is for sentry 9, meanwhile sentry 10 is out, you might want to check out sentry 10

Update 2020-03-06: Changed PostgreSQL to 11 instead of latest.

The Sentry docs do have an install how-to with docker but there still were some issues with it so in order to save you some time, here is what I came up with to get sentry 9 up & running in no time.

I will skip the docker installation part and assume you already have docker running so we can skip right into the part where we install sentry.

First clone the sentry project somewhere on your machine, I usually go with /usr/src

cd /usr/src
git clone https://github.com/getsentry/onpremise.git

The hard part now is to start everything in the right order with the right parameters and also tell sentry to skip the configuration part as it has everything it needs in the configuration files. The best thing to do is us a shell script to take care of everything.

The shell script is not mine, unfortunately, I don't know where I have it from and can't find the original author.

All you have to do is change the configuration variables at the top of the script and you are good to go. Yes, that's it!
