Deploy and Host Bugsink on Railway

Bugsink is a self-hosted error tracker that is compatible with the Sentry SDKs. Applications in Python, JavaScript, Go, Ruby, PHP, Java and more report exceptions to a DSN, and Bugsink groups them into issues with stack traces, breadcrumbs, tags and email alerts, without the operational weight of self-hosted Sentry.

About Hosting Bugsink

This template deploys Bugsink v2.6.0 from the official image as a single service with SQLite on a Railway volume. The admin account is created from environment variables on first start, and phone-home is off. The server listens on IPv4 and IPv6, so applications on Railway can report over the private network or through the public domain. Host checks cover your Railway domain and Railway's health check. Bugsink is light and fits the Hobby plan; the volume grows with stored events. Point any Sentry SDK at the DSN of a project you create in the web UI.

Common Use Cases

Error tracking for web apps, APIs and workers with existing Sentry SDKs
A self-hosted Sentry alternative when data must stay on your infrastructure
Catching exceptions in staging and preview environments

Dependencies for Bugsink Hosting

Deployment Dependencies

Implementation Details

Service	Image	Networking	Storage
bugsink	`bugsink/bugsink:2.6.0`	public domain on 8000; private IPv4/IPv6	volume at `/data`

Create a team and project in the web UI, then use its DSN:

import sentry_sdk
sentry_sdk.init(dsn="https://@/1")

Variable	Default	Purpose
`BUGSINK_ADMIN_EMAIL` / `BUGSINK_ADMIN_PASSWORD`	`admin@example.com` / generated	First admin, created via `CREATE_SUPERUSER`
`SECRET_KEY`	generated	Django secret
`ALLOWED_HOSTS`	domain, private domain, health-check host	Host allow list
`PHONEHOME`	`false`	Anonymous usage reporting

Notes:

The start command is the image's own command with Gunicorn bound to [::], so the private network works; keep it when editing the service.
Set EMAIL_HOST and related variables to enable alert emails.

Why Deploy Bugsink on Railway?

Railway is a singular platform to deploy your infrastructure stack. Railway will host your infrastructure so you don't have to deal with configuration, while allowing you to vertically and horizontally scale it.

By deploying Bugsink on Railway, you are one step closer to supporting a complete full-stack application with minimal burden. Host your servers, databases, AI agents, and more on Railway.
