jmcvetta.sentry

This is an Ansible role for deploying Sentry.

Requirements

You need to have Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

You also need Redis and PostgreSQL set up, but this role does not install them. For Redis, you can use jpnewman.redis. For PostgreSQL, you can install it using APT on your local machine, or if you are using AWS, consider using RDS.

Role Variables

Cryptographic Keys

You must set several cryptographic key variables with long, unique strings. Do not use the same keys again, as this is a security risk.

# Generate your own keys!
sentry_secret_key: ahrujiepheeTh6aex1jiyaejuxageyei
sentry_client_public_key: VaiQueughaisha5phael1eet
sentry_client_secret_key: faiphedev4ievei9haiMie5oW8eek6az

You can use the pwgen tool to create strong random strings:

# Install pwgen
sudo apt-get install pwgen

# Generate one random string of 32 characters
pwgen -1 32

# Sentry will run as this user
