# Optional: self-hosted error monitoring (GlitchTip)
The app reports server-side errors (the Stripe webhook, the cron dispatchers,
and every server action via `onRequestError`) to any Sentry-compatible backend
named by the `SENTRY_DSN` env var. With `SENTRY_DSN` unset the capture seam is a
no-op, so error monitoring is entirely optional and the app runs fine without it.
This directory is a self-contained, batteries-included way to run that backend
yourself with [GlitchTip](https://glitchtip.com) (open-source, Sentry-API
compatible). It brings its own Postgres + Redis and shares nothing with the app
stack, so it works on any Docker host. You can equally point `SENTRY_DSN` at
Sentry SaaS instead and skip this entirely.
## Bring it up
```sh
cd deploy/glitchtip
cp .env.example .env
# set POSTGRES_PASSWORD and SECRET_KEY (openssl rand -hex 32)
docker compose up -d
```
`migrate` runs once automatically, then `web` + `worker` start. The dashboard
binds to `127.0.0.1:8000` only (no public surface). Reach it either by:
- an SSH tunnel: `ssh -L 8000:127.0.0.1:8000 you@your-host` then open
`http://localhost:8000`, or
- your own reverse proxy / TLS in front of `127.0.0.1:8000` (set
`GLITCHTIP_DOMAIN` to that URL).
## Connect the app
1. In GlitchTip: register the first user, create an Organization, then a
Project (platform: Node/JavaScript). Copy the Project's **DSN**.
2. Set `SENTRY_DSN=<that DSN>` in the app's environment and restart the app.
(For the localhost setup the DSN host will be `localhost:8000`; the app
reaches GlitchTip over the loopback on the same host.)
3. Turn off open registration: set `ENABLE_OPEN_USER_REGISTRATION=False` in
`.env` and `docker compose up -d`.
## Notes
- Resources: the capped stack needs roughly 1.5-2 GB RAM. On a small host add
swap first.
- Reproducibility: pin the `glitchtip/glitchtip` image to a release tag in
`docker-compose.yml` for production (it ships as `latest` so a fresh clone
runs without edits).
- Updates: `docker compose pull && docker compose up -d` (re-runs `migrate`).

With Secure email change on, Supabase sends this to both the old and new address; each link hits `/auth/confirm`, which `verifyOtp`s and (post-verification only) syncs the denormalized `space_members.email`. Email delivery uses the project's configured SMTP (or Supabase built-in if none); production should use a real SMTP provider.
### Error monitoring (optional)
The app reports server-side errors (the Stripe webhook, both cron dispatchers, and every server action via `onRequestError`) to any Sentry-compatible backend named by the `SENTRY_DSN` env var. Unset = the capture seam no-ops, so this is fully optional and costs nothing when off. All event content is secret-scrubbed before send (emails, JWTs, Stripe/Resend keys, bearer tokens).
To self-host the backend, [`deploy/glitchtip/`](../deploy/glitchtip/README.md) is a batteries-included GlitchTip stack (own Postgres + Redis, `127.0.0.1`-bound): `cp .env.example .env`, set the two secrets, `docker compose up -d`, register a project, then put its DSN in `SENTRY_DSN` and restart the app. You can equally point `SENTRY_DSN` at Sentry SaaS and skip the self-hosted stack.
## Operational checklist
- Monitor `/var/log/hackerspace-deploy.log` for deploy outcomes.

**Gate:** `pnpm test` **639** (was 626; +13) green; `pnpm build` clean. Server-side capture only (no client SDK). No migration, no schema, no RLS.
**Inert in prod until Phase 2:** with `SENTRY_DSN` unset nothing is sent, so this is a safe deploy. **Phase 2 (the box, not started):** add a 2GB swapfile (droplet is RAM-tight: 3.8G total, ~865M free, NO swap, 2 vCPU, 7 supabase containers + the app), stand up GlitchTip (web+worker+redis, memory-capped) with `DATABASE_URL` -> a new DB on the existing `supabase-db` (no 2nd Postgres), nginx subdomain + cert for the UI, generate the DSN, set it in `.env.production`, verify a test capture. RAM-watch throughout.
**Deployed (`c89e4d9`, run 26260262561 success); inert in prod** (`SENTRY_DSN` unset). Phase 1 was a safe no-behavior-change deploy.
**Phase 2 = a REPRODUCIBLE repo artifact, not droplet surgery (owner steer).** Instead of hand-building containers on the specific droplet, the GlitchTip backend is now committed at `deploy/glitchtip/` (`docker-compose.yml` + `.env.example` + README), self-contained (its OWN Postgres + Redis, shares nothing with the app stack), `127.0.0.1`-bound, memory-capped, one-command `docker compose up -d` (migrate runs first via `service_completed_successfully`). Any self-hoster gets it the same way; the app stays generic (`SENTRY_DSN` works with this OR Sentry SaaS OR nothing). A 2GB swapfile was added to the production droplet (was RAM-tight: 3.8G, no swap) + persisted in fstab. **Remaining:** bring the stack up (the documented one-command), register the first user + project to get the DSN, set `SENTRY_DSN` in `.env.production`, restart, verify a capture. A first hand-rolled bring-up attempt was scrapped after a psql-quoting bug; the committed compose supersedes it.
