Telebugs is a self-hosted error tracking system designed to simplify bug detection and resolution while prioritizing data ownership and cost-effectiveness. Fully compatible with Sentry SDKs, Telebugs captures, groups, and notifies users about application errors and exceptions, enabling faster debugging without the recurring costs associated with subscription-based tools like Sentry. Users pay a one-time fee of $299 to own and deploy the software, ensuring full control over their data and compliance with regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, and PECR.
Unlike Sentry's complex self-hosting setup, Telebugs is lightweight, easy to install, and requires minimal technical expertise. Delivered as a Docker container image, it can run on local hardware, cloud services, or VPS platforms, with hardware requirements starting at just 1GB of RAM and 1 CPU core. Installation involves running a single command to configure the system, including an SSL certificate setup, making it accessible to developers from day one. Telebugs supports multiple projects and platforms, allowing teams to monitor their entire stack while receiving error notifications via email or PWA push notifications.
Focused solely on error tracking, Telebugs eliminates unnecessary features and bloat, offering a streamlined solution for primary error tracking or as a backup to tools like Sentry. It is particularly suitable for bootstrapped companies, regulated industries, agencies, and consultancies, as well as staging environments. Users can modify the Rails-based code to fit their specific needs, although custom changes may not be supported by future updates. Telebugs licenses are tied to a single domain, ensuring flexibility for businesses with multiple applications.
By choosing Telebugs, users gain a straightforward, cost-effective error tracking solution that prioritizes simplicity, efficiency, and data security without the complexities of subscription-based alternatives.
