Self-Hosted Releases & Upgrading

CalVer: YY.MM.MICRO

Sentry cuts regular releases for self-hosting to keep it as close to sentry.io as possible. We decided to follow a monthly release schedule using the CalVer versioning scheme. A new version is released on the 15th of each month, and follow-up releases are done when necessary in between. You can find the latest release over at the releases section of our self-hosted repository.

Upgrading

We encourage everyone to regularly update their Sentry installations to get the best and the most recent Sentry experience.

To upgrade, all you need to do is download or check out the version of self-hosted repository you want, replace your existing folder's contents with that, and then run ./install.sh.

Before starting the upgrade, we shut down all the services and then run some data migrations, so expect to have some downtime. There is an experimental --minimize-downtime option to reduce the downtime during upgrades. Use this at your own risk and see the pull request it was implemented in for more information.

Hard Stops

We have three hards stops that you need to go through in order to pick up significant database changes:

  1. If you are coming from a version prior to 9.1.2, you first need to upgrade to 9.1.2 and follow the next steps:
    Copied
    <your.sentry.version> -> 9.1.2 -> 21.5.0 -> 21.6.3 -> latest
  2. If you are coming from 9.1.2, you first need to upgrade to 21.5.0 and follow the next steps:
    Copied
    <your.sentry.version> -> 21.5.0 -> 21.6.3 -> latest
  3. If you are coming from a version prior to 21.6.3, you first need to upgrade to 21.6.3:
    Copied
    <your.sentry.version> -> 21.6.3 -> latest

Any other case (21.6.3+), you should be able to upgrade to the latest version directly.

Nightly Builds

We provide nightly builds from the master branch of the self-hosted repository for each new commit for Sentry, and all of the supporting projects:

These builds are usually stable, but you may occasionally hit a broken version as these versions are not guaranteed to be deployed to sentry.io first. There is also no guarantee that you will be able to do a clean upgrade to later versions without losing any data. Use the nightly builds at your own risk.
