Build my stackFrequently asked questions
Do I need Docker to self-host a LogRocket alternative?
Yes, for all 2: each one has a ready-to-copy docker-compose.yml. You just need Docker installed on your server.
How much RAM do I need at minimum?
The lightest option on this list is OpenReplay, which runs on as little as 2GB of RAM — enough for a cheap VPS.
Are they all 100% free, or are there paid features like on LogRocket?
0 out of 2 are 100% FOSS. The rest are Open-Core: the core is free and self-hostable, but some advanced feature may stay paid — we call it out on each tool's page.
