Telebugs FAQ
What do I give up compared with Sentry?+
Telebugs focuses on error tracking (exceptions, grouping, backtraces, breadcrumbs, alerts) and does not include performance monitoring, logs, session replay or code coverage.
Does any error data leave my servers?+
Core error tracking runs entirely on your instance; outbound communication occurs only for optional webhooks, email, update checks or MCP clients you configure.
Do I need to be a Docker expert to run Telebugs?+
No. Telebugs provides a CLI that installs Docker if needed and manages the container; you only need basic SSH and DNS knowledge.
Can I switch between Managed and Self-hosted?+
Yes, you can migrate your data either way and are not locked into the initial option.
