    GlitchTip - Hardened Self-Hosted Error Tracking and Uptime Monitoring

     Info

    Deployed on AWS
    Free Trial
    This product has charges associated with it for hardening, security configuration, and support. GlitchTip is an open-source error tracking and application monitoring platform - a Django application with a bundled PostgreSQL 18 database and Valkey 9 cache. This Lynxroute build is hardened and ready out of the box: signing key and database password generated at first launch, sign-up closed after the first account is claimed, nginx TLS on 443 with a per-instance certificate, database and cache unreachable from the network, UFW firewall pre-configured, and a CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base. MIT license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.

    Overview

    This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and support.

    WHAT IS GLITCHTIP

    GlitchTip is an open-source error tracking and application monitoring platform, built as a Django application served by the Granian ASGI server. Applications report exceptions to it through the widely used open-source client libraries, so instrumenting one usually means installing a package and setting a single DSN environment variable. Similar events are grouped into issues carrying a stack trace, breadcrumbs, request context and release information, so you see one problem with an occurrence count instead of thousands of duplicate alerts. Alongside errors it ingests structured logs and runs scheduled uptime monitors against your endpoints. Issues can be assigned, commented on and resolved; alerts are delivered by email or webhook. Organizations, projects, issues and events persist in a bundled PostgreSQL 18 database, with a bundled Valkey 9 cache. GlitchTip is an independent project under the MIT license, no vendor lock-in.

    WHAT THIS AMI ADDS

    Security hardening:

    • Signing key and database password generated at first launch into /root/glitchtip-credentials.txt - nothing is baked into the AMI, so no two instances share a secret
    • Sign-up closed by default - the first visitor claims the administrator account, and every later attempt is refused automatically
    • nginx terminates TLS on 443 with a per-instance certificate generated at first launch; Certbot and its nginx plugin are pre-installed for a CA-signed one
    • PostgreSQL 18 and Valkey 9 bound inside the application network only - both are unreachable from outside the instance and publish no host port
    • Per-project ingest keys, and a duplicate event is rejected rather than counted twice
    • Debug mode and the test API disabled - the shipped configuration is the production one
    • Container log rotation capped so a restarting container cannot fill the root volume
    • External purchase and donation prompts removed from the bundled web interface; product documentation links are kept
    • UFW firewall pre-configured - only 22, 80 and 443 open; the application port, database and cache are blocked
    • fail2ban SSH brute-force protection, AppArmor mandatory access control
    • CVE scan - every image is scanned for vulnerabilities before release

    OS hardening (CIS Level 1):

    • CIS Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Level 1 benchmark applied via ansible-lockdown
    • auditd, SSH hardening, Kernel hardening, IMDSv2 enforced

    Compliance artifacts:

    • SBOM - CycloneDX 1.6 at /etc/lynxroute/sbom.json
    • CIS Conformance Report at /etc/lynxroute/cis-report.html
    • CIS Tailored Profile at /usr/share/doc/lynxroute/CIS_TAILORED_PROFILE.md

    Highlights

    • GlitchTip security baked in: signing key and database password generated at first launch, sign-up closed after the first account is claimed, nginx TLS on 443 with a per-instance certificate, PostgreSQL and Valkey unreachable from the network, UFW firewall pre-configured.
    • CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: auditd, fail2ban, AppArmor, SSH key-only, IMDSv2 enforced. CVE-scanned before every release. SBOM (CycloneDX) and CIS Conformance Report included.
    • Self-hosted error tracking with no per-event pricing: exception grouping with stack traces and breadcrumbs, structured log ingest, scheduled uptime monitors, email and webhook alerts, bundled PostgreSQL 18 and Valkey 9. MIT license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.

    Amazon Machine Image (AMI)

    An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

    Additional details

    Usage instructions

    1. Launch instance (t3.large recommended, t3.medium minimum)
    2. Open Security Group - allow TCP 443 from YOUR IP ONLY for now, and TCP 22 from your IP
    3. SSH: ssh -i key.pem ubuntu@<PUBLIC_IP>
    4. Read credentials: sudo cat /root/glitchtip-credentials.txt
    5. Open https://<PUBLIC_IP>/ in your browser - accept the self-signed certificate warning. First launch takes 2-4 minutes and shows a loading page until the instance is ready
    6. Click Register and sign up with your own email address - the first account created becomes the administrator, and sign-up then closes permanently
    7. Create an organization, then a project. The project's DSN is shown under Settings, Client Keys
    8. Set that DSN in your application and trigger one error to confirm the round trip

    Restrict TCP 443 to your own address before you register. The first visitor to reach the instance claims the administrator account. Credentials are saved to /root/glitchtip-credentials.txt at first launch, readable by root only. Email is intentionally unconfigured, so the interface offers copy-link team invitations instead of mailed ones. To enable password-reset and invitation mail, add an EMAIL_URL line to /opt/glitchtip/.env and run: cd /opt/glitchtip && sudo docker compose up -d Uptime monitors and webhook alerts work without any mail configuration. Replace the self-signed TLS certificate with a CA-signed one for production use: sudo certbot --nginx -d yourdomain.com
