docker-magento VS self-hosted

Mark Shust's Magento Docker

I am very new to docker as well as WSL2 so it is very possible I am overlooking something rather obvious. I am trying to install Magento on my Windows 10 machine using https://github.com/markshust/docker-magento.

Get a local development environment setup using Mark Shust's Magento Docker project - Mark is super helpful and the README is quite comprehensive

M2 MacBook Pro user here too. I've never used Warden so I'm not going to be too much help there however I can recommend Mark Shust's Docker setup if you're open to using something else. I've used it Ubuntu, MacOS, Apple Silicon, Intel, and AMD platforms without issue.

For more details I compared both setups. For both I use https://github.com/markshust/docker-magento Magento 2 docker stuff. Using Windows was nice as I like having everything there like I already had phpstorm, my clipboard manager, chrome, etc. But Windows just uses up all the ram quickly and becomes laggy. I debated about going the vmware route but just do it, it doesn't take that long to setup. I benchmarked a simple page request after clearing caches in Magento 2 and the performance is actually a little better (8%) in vmware docker than windows wsl2.

You have an install of Magento 2 that you can develop with (if you don't then this repo with docker will work wonders.

This is the point where I will point out that you can self-host Sentry free of charge :) https://develop.sentry.dev/self-hosted/

Sentry can be self hosted: https://develop.sentry.dev/self-hosted/

The people we're concerned about are not the hundreds of thousands of Sentry users, including those that self-host.

We're concerned about people who have taken the software for the purposes of competing directly against us, that hinders our ability to monetize the work. Monetizing the work helps us continue improving the software and distribute it for free use, benefitting those aforementioned real users (e.g. https://github.com/getsentry/self-hosted).

> I mean no slander or disrespect to anyone involved, but there was a DataDog alternative posted sometime in the last few weeks that had a docker-compose with like 15 containers in it.

Reminds me of Sentry: https://develop.sentry.dev/self-hosted/

This is their example docker-compose for self-hosting: https://github.com/getsentry/self-hosted/blob/master/docker-...

It has:

> What should people use?

I recall Apache Skywalking being pretty good, especially for smaller/medium scale projects: https://skywalking.apache.org/

The architecture is simple, the performance is adequate, it doesn't make you spend days configuring it and it even supports various different data stores: https://skywalking.apache.org/docs/main/v9.0.0/en/setup/back...

The problems with it are that it isn't super popular (although has agents for most popular stacks), the docs could be slightly better and I recall them also working on a new UI so there is a little bit of churn: https://skywalking.apache.org/downloads/

Still better versus some of the other options when you need something that just works instead of spending a lot of time configuring something (even when that something might be superior in regards to the features): https://github.com/getsentry/self-hosted/blob/master/docker-...

Sentry is just the first thing that comes to mind (OpenTelemetry also isn't simpler due to how much it tries to do), but compare its complexity to Skywalking: https://github.com/apache/skywalking/blob/master/docker/dock...

I wish there was more self-hosted software like that out there, enough to address certain concerns in a simple way on day 1 and leave branching out to more complex options like OpenTelemetry once you have a separate team for that and the cash is rolling in.

Sounds interesting!

Will you compare with qryn? Self-hosted sentry?

qryn.metrico.in/

https://develop.sentry.dev/self-hosted/

I haven't done it in years, but technically sentry is able to be self hosted https://github.com/getsentry/self-hosted

yes to the second https://github.com/getsentry/self-hosted/blob/23.4.0/docker-... and only after the embargo is over to the first: https://github.com/getsentry/self-hosted/blob/23.4.0/LICENSE...

I also miss the "good old days" when running sentry was like 3 containers, not the 32 of modern Sentry
