## Documentation

# Deploy and Host Bugsink on Railway

## What is Bugsink?

Bugsink is an open-source, self-hosted error tracking platform compatible with Sentry SDKs. It helps developers monitor exceptions, inspect stack traces, and debug production issues while maintaining full ownership of their infrastructure and telemetry data.

## About Hosting Bugsink

Hosting Bugsink requires deploying the application server alongside a PostgreSQL database for storing events, issues, users, and project metadata. Since Bugsink supports standard Sentry SDKs, teams can integrate it into existing applications with minimal setup changes.

Railway simplifies deployment by handling infrastructure provisioning, networking, environment variables, persistent storage, and service orchestration. A typical deployment includes a Bugsink web service, a PostgreSQL database, persistent storage volumes, and optional SMTP configuration for notifications. Railway also supports automatic deployments from GitHub and seamless scaling as your monitoring needs grow.

## Common Use Cases

- Self-hosted application error monitoring for privacy-conscious teams
- Replacing hosted Sentry deployments with a lightweight alternative
- Centralized exception tracking across APIs, web apps, and background workers

## Dependencies for Bugsink Hosting

- PostgreSQL database
- Persistent volume storage
