These are some of the things that are not available on self-hosted (due to previous reasons): + +- Pricing tiers & Billing system. +- [Spike protection](https://docs.sentry.io/pricing/quotas/spike-protection/), as it is tightly coupled with Billing Quotas. +- [Spend Allocation](https://docs.sentry.io/pricing/quotas/spend-allocation/), as it is tightly coupled with Billing Quotas. +- AI & ML features (such as autofix), although the code is open at [getsentry/seer](https://github.com/getsentry/seer). +- [Data Storage Location](https://docs.sentry.io/organization/data-storage-location/), because you own your data. + +To put things simply, consider self-hosted as the Business plan without any software limitations and no paid tier. + ## Getting Started Our recommendation is to download the [latest release of the self-hosted repository](https://github.com/getsentry/self-hosted/releases/latest), and then run `./install.sh` inside this directory. This script will take care of all the things you need to get started, including a base-line configuration, and then will tell you to run `docker compose up -d` to start Sentry. Sentry binds to port `9000` by default. You should be able to reach the login page at [http://127.0.0.1:9000](http://127.0.0.1:9000/).
