VictoriaTraces on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Azure
Observability
a distributed tracing database that stores OpenTelemetry spans and queries them back through Jaeger compatible APIs and a built in web UI.
Overview
VictoriaTraces is a tracing database from the VictoriaMetrics project. It receives OpenTelemetry spans over OTLP, stores them compactly on disk with no external database or object store behind it, and serves them back through Jaeger compatible query APIs and a built in web UI for exploring spans by service, operation, duration and attributes. It gives a self hosted team span storage and search in one lightweight service, a practical alternative to running a full tracing stack. Note that VictoriaTraces is a young component: upstream has not yet declared a generally available release, so the on disk format is not under a backward compatibility commitment.
Why the cloudimg image
cloudimg binds VictoriaTraces to loopback behind an nginx HTTP Basic Auth gate that covers both the span ingest endpoint and the query APIs, so neither can be written to nor read without credentials. A unique password is generated on first boot and no default login ships. Stored spans live on a dedicated data volume with retention and a disk usage cap already configured, the base OS is fully patched at build time, and every image is paired with a step by step deploy guide and 24/7 support.
Common uses
- Self hosted distributed tracing backend
- OpenTelemetry span storage and retention
- Debugging latency across services
