Decreasing your `SENTRY_RETENTION_DAYS` environment variable to lower numbers will save some storage space from being full, at the cost of having shorter data retention period. See [Event Retention](/self-hosted/configuration#event-retention) section. -There are known issues on installing self-hosted Sentry on RHEL-based Linux distros, such as CentOS, Rocky Linux, and Alma Linux. It is also not possible to install on an Alpine Linux distro. Most people succeed with Debian/Ubuntu-based distros. If you successfully install on another distro, please let us know on the [Sentry's Discord](https://discord.gg/sentry)! +Below is a breakdown of self-hosted Sentry installation compatibility with various Linux distributions: +* **Debian/Ubuntu-based** distros are preferred; most users succeed with them, and they're used on Sentry's dogfood instance. +* **RHEL-based Linux** distributions (e.g., CentOS, Rocky Linux, Alma Linux) have known installation issues.

This was achieved with SELinux enabled and by adding their user to the `docker` group. +* **Alpine Linux** is unsupported due to install script compatibility. + +If you successfully install Sentry on a different distribution, please share your experience on the [Sentry's Discord](https://discord.gg/sentry)! ## Getting Started
