Can I self host the server?
Yes! Don't Panic can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud using Docker. Run this command to start a local instance with SQLite and default admin user:
docker run -e DATABASE_URL="sqlite://dontpanic-local.sqlite?mode=rwc" \
-e DEFAULT_USER_EMAIL=admin@example.com \
-e DEFAULT_USER_PASSWORD=admin123 \
-p 8080:8080 ptodorov/dontpanic-server
Then open http://localhost:8080 in your browser and login with email: admin@example.com and password: admin123

Why we built it?
Nothing hurts more than checking your app’s reviews and seeing users report bugs you didn’t even know existed.
Even worse? Finding those reports buried in forums or Discord threads—posted by users who never reached out, never filed an issue, and maybe just walked away.
And those are just the ones we know about. How many more just gave up in silence?
We build, we test, we log everything we can—but some crashes still slip through. And when they do, we need to know right now, with real context—not just a cryptic stack trace.
That’s why we built Don‘t Panic. It catches panics, tracks errors, and tells us exactly what went wrong, when it happens, and why—so we can fix it fast, before more users run into the same problem. Whether it’s a backend service, a game, or anything in between, we use it every day.
Now, you can too. 🚀
