Right now if there is a low level error we show the potentially giant thing with lots of internal details to the user. I think (a) the server paths should probably be hidden and (b) the details shouldn't be shown. The only reason I can think of to show details is to help us debug the error; not useful for the user.

A few ideas to consider:

  • in the legacy tools we used to show a generic "something went wrong" and include a "details" link that would open the small print of the error (up to 1000 chars) like an accordion
  • we could put the details in a JS console error log
  • we could hide the details completely and use the on-server dokku log to see more info

Showing this kind of nonsense to a user sure feels to me like a bug:
