# What is Sentry?
Sentry is a realtime event logging and aggregation platform. It specializes in monitoring errors and extracting all the information needed to do a proper post-mortem without any of the hassle of the standard user feedback loop.

# How to use this image
## start a sentry instance
### PostgreSQL database (as recommended by upstream)
docker run --name some-sentry --link some-postgres:postgres -d sentry
### MySQL database
docker run --name some-sentry --link some-mysql:mysql -d sentry
### Redis buffering (recommended by upstream for any real workloads)
To enable Update Buffers using Redis, just add `--link some-redis:redis` to the `docker run` arguments of your service.
### port mapping
If you'd like to be able to access the instance from the host without the container's IP, standard port mappings can be used. Just add `-p 8080:9000` to the `docker run` arguments and then access either `http://localhost:8080` or `http://host-ip:8080` in a browser.
## configuring the initial user
The following assumes you chose PostgreSQL. If you did not, just replace the `--link` entries appropriately:
docker run -it --rm --link some-postgres:postgres sentry sentry createsuperuser
Once the user is created, you must run the following to give them the proper teams/access within the database: (replace `<username>` here with whatever was entered as the "Username" when prompted by `createsuperuser` above)
docker run -it --rm --link some-postgres:postgres sentry sentry repair --owner=<username>
