Note that this may not work for all commit SHAs as this repository evolves with Sentry and its satellite projects. It is highly recommended to check out a version of this repository that is close to the timestamp of the Sentry commit you are installing.

### Using Linux

If you are using Linux and you need to use `sudo` when running `./install.sh`, modifying the version of Sentry is slightly different. First, run the following:
```shell
sudo visudo
```
Then add the following line:
```shell
Defaults env_keep += "SENTRY_IMAGE"
```
Save the file then in your terminal run the following

```shell
export SENTRY_IMAGE=us.gcr.io/sentryio/sentry:83b1380
sudo ./install.sh
```
Where you replace `83b1380` with the sha you want to use.

## Event Retention

Sentry comes with a cleanup cron job that prunes events older than `90 days` by default. If you want to change that, you can change the `SENTRY_EVENT_RETENTION_DAYS` environment variable in `.env` or simply override it in your environment. If you do not want the cleanup cron, you can remove the `sentry-cleanup` service from the `docker-compose.yml`file.
