Buggregator is a self-contained debugging server for PHP applications, rewritten in Go as a single ~30 MB binary with an embedded web UI, WebSocket server, and SQLite database. It captures exceptions, variable dumps, emails, profiler output, and logs in real time from existing SDKs like Sentry, VarDumper, Ray, Monolog, and SMTP clients, with no cloud account or code changes.
Use cases
- view PHP exceptions and dumps in a local web UI instead of files
- self-hosted Sentry alternative for catching errors during development
- capture outgoing emails locally without a real SMTP server
- inspect XHProf profiling results in a browser
- collect Monolog and VarDumper output over TCP in real time
- debug Laravel or Symfony apps without changing code
- let AI assistants query debugging data via MCP
When to choose
- you develop PHP apps and want a free, local, zero-dependency debugging dashboard
- you need to inspect dumps, exceptions, emails, and profiler data in one place
- you want Sentry/Ray-like tooling without a cloud account or paid plan
- you prefer a single binary or Docker container over installing PHP tooling
When to avoid
- you need production-grade error tracking with alerting, retention, and team workflows
- your stack is not PHP-centric and doesn't speak the supported protocols
- you require a license-audited dependency (the repo has no declared license)
