Do you like sentry's data collection, but don't want to run a complicated sentry server? Do you still want to see those cute lil error messages? Boy howdy do I have the 800 lines of rubbish Golang code for you!
$ journalctl -f # optionally -t sentry

If you want the full data it's stuffed into additional fields in the journald -o json format.

}There is a --port flag (also available as PORT) to configure a port from the environment.
Just like real sentry there is no actual authentication of the user, so, it is up to you to add any filtering and anti-spam/abuse you want.
A unit file is included for your convenience.
suckless? no this sucks more. (but we don't have torchlit walks, so, tradeoffs ig.)
This is intentionally pretty minimal.
| Feature | Actual Sentry | This Rubbish |
|---|---|---|
| Receives errors | ✅ | ✅ |
| Receives 'user messages' | ✅ | ✅ |
| Processes sessions/breadcrumbs | ✅ | ❌ |
| Aggregates & deduplicates error messages | ✅ | 🤷♀️ |
| Provides nice breakdowns of user/browser version/etc | ✅ | 🤷♀️ |
| Supports attachments | ✅ | ❌ |
| Has something like spam measures | ✅ | ❌ |
It's in a similar vein to hauxir/errorpush, except instead of shoving it into a DB and asking you to write complicated SQL queries, we shove it into journald and ask you to write complicated jq/awk/sort/uniq/greps to process your data. Which is better? We may never know.
