If you are looking to install GlitchTip on Pop!_OS, you've come to the right place! GlitchTip is an open-source error tracking tool that helps developers track and resolve errors in their applications. With GlitchTip, you can easily monitor your applications for errors and get notified about them in real-time.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps required to install GlitchTip on the latest version of Pop!_OS.
Before installing GlitchTip, you will need the following:
GlitchTip uses Docker to run its containerized application on your system. So, before proceeding any further, you should make sure that Docker is installed and working on your system.
To install Docker, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt install docker.io
After the installation is complete, start the Docker service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start docker
GlitchTip requires a PostgreSQL database to store its data. So, you need to install PostgreSQL by running the following command:
sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib
After the installation is complete, you need to create a new PostgreSQL user and database for GlitchTip. To do this, run the following commands:
sudo su postgres
createuser --interactive
createdb glitchtip
exit
Now, you need to edit the pg_hba.conf file to allow the new user to connect to the database. To do this, open the file by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/postgresql/<version>/main/pg_hba.conf
Replace <version> with your PostgreSQL version, for example, 11.
In the pg_hba.conf file, add the following line to allow the new user to connect to the database:
local glitchtip <username> md5
Replace <username> with the username you created earlier.
After editing the pg_hba.conf file, restart PostgreSQL by running the following command:
sudo systemctl restart postgresql
Now that you have Docker and PostgreSQL installed and configured, you can proceed with installing GlitchTip. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo docker run --rm -it \
-e GLITCHTIP_DATABASE_URL=postgres://<username>:<password>@localhost/glitchtip \
-p 8000:8000 \
glitchtip/glitchtip
Replace <username> and <password> with the username and password you created earlier.
After running the command, Docker will download the latest version of GlitchTip and start it in a container. You can find the URL to access GlitchTip by looking for the line that starts with Web Interface available at: in the terminal output.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured GlitchTip on Pop!_OS. You can now start tracking and resolving errors in your applications using this powerful open-source error tracking tool.
