Feature request: documentation for running this with a Python web app. It looks to me like it should work - the Python Sentry library can presumably publish to the local Spotlight forwarder.

I don't have a npm/npx/etc build mechanism setup, so I'd appreciate instructions for running a separate web server to serve the UI, rather than running the UI integrated directly into my existing Python web application.




Would a bundled JS asset work for the UI? Eg something from a CDN?

Feel free to add a GitHub issue with more details if that’s easier!


Yeah, a CDN link would be fine - anything that means I don't have to figure out how to run "npm install" for a project which isn't using that yet.

Or even something like "npx sentry-spotlight-http-server" which starts a server running containing the UI.


Maybe the docs are not good enough for that, but you can just run

    npx @spotlightjs/spotlight


That’ll get you the sidecar but not the UI widget. I think we could:

1- serve the widget from the sidecar 2- add the CDN distro


Serving the widget from the sidecar would work great for me, then I only have to run one thing.
