Run Sidecar with Docker

Docker

We provide a Docker container which runs the Sidecar (including the overlay).

Terminal window
docker run --rm \
    --pull always \
    --name spotlight \
    --detach \
    -p 8969:8969/tcp \
    ghcr.io/getsentry/spotlight:latest

Docker Compose

If you’re already using Docker Compose, we recommend adding Spotlight to your docker-compose.yml file:

services:
  # ...
  spotlight:
    image: ghcr.io/getsentry/spotlight:latest
    restart: on-failure
    pull_policy: always
    ports:
      - "8969:8969"

Once you add Spotlight to your docker-compose.yml, don’t forget to set the spotlight URL in the SDKs to http://spotlight:8969/stream. You can do this by either setting the spotlight config setting to this value or by setting SENTRY_SPOTLIGHT env variable to http://spotlight:8969/stream for your application1.
