Adds the github key to FUNDING.yml and links GitHub Sponsors from README and SUPPORT so both channels are visible; the org still needs to complete GitHub's Sponsors onboarding for the button to render.
* feat(pricing): collapse to two tiers (Community + Admiral)
Collapse Sencho's pricing from three tiers (Community / Skipper / Admiral)
to two: a generous free Community tier and a single paid Admiral tier. The
Skipper tier is removed.
Now free in Community: auto-heal, auto-update, scheduled operations,
webhooks, notification routing, Fleet Actions and bulk operations, SSO
preset providers (Google / GitHub / Okta), unlimited users with admin and
viewer roles, and deploy safety (atomic deploys, auto-rollback, and
one-click rollback).
Admiral (paid) is focused on running and governing a fleet: blueprints,
Fleet Secrets, deploy enforcement, vulnerability report export, audit log,
host console, private registries, mesh networking, node cordon, managed
cloud backup, LDAP / Active Directory SSO, and the advanced RBAC roles
(deployer, node-admin, auditor) with per-resource scoped assignments.
Internally the license variant distinction is removed so tier is binary
(community / paid). License validation still verifies the Lemon Squeezy
store and product before granting paid status.
Docs and the contributor guide are updated to the two-tier model.
* docs(pricing): correct licensing page to two-tier pricing and tidy stale tier wording
The licensing docs page kept the old Admiral pricing plus a Founder
Lifetime column and an Enterprise paragraph after the two-tier collapse.
Update it to $12/month or $99/year, drop the lifetime and Enterprise
content, and link to the pricing page for current pricing.
Also fix stale "Skipper" wording in CLA.md, SUPPORT.md, one test title,
and three test comments. Historical CHANGELOG entries and the
retired-Skipper license-guard test are intentionally left as-is.
* docs: align licensing and SSO pages with the two-tier model
Correct the SSO overview so the Google, GitHub, and Okta presets read as
available on every tier, matching the provider table; only LDAP and Active
Directory require Sencho Admiral. Remove the lifetime-plan references from the
licensing, settings, and troubleshooting pages so they reflect subscription-only
Admiral pricing.
* fix(rbac): omit scoped permissions from /me on the Community tier
Scoped role assignments only take effect on the paid tier, but GET /api/permissions/me returned them unconditionally, so a downgraded instance with leftover assignments rendered per-resource affordances the API then rejected with 403. The endpoint now mirrors the permission middleware and includes scoped permissions only on the paid tier. Adds a regression test covering the downgrade case.
* docs: use custom-pricing wording on the contact page
The two-tier model has no Enterprise tier; reword the contact page's enterprise pricing/deals to custom pricing/deals so it does not imply a tier that no longer exists.
Close the trust-blocking items from the pre-v1.0 readiness audit so the
repository is ready for the first public posting. No backend or
frontend code changes; no tier gates move.
README:
- Add a single beta-status GitHub [!NOTE] callout below the dashboard
image. Beta status also appears in selected install-flow docs
(Quickstart, Known Limitations, Security Architecture, Upgrade,
Troubleshooting) so install-flow readers are not surprised.
- Add a "Before you install" subsection that names the docker.sock
privilege model with the Portainer / Dockge / Komodo comparison.
- Fix the docker run example: add the missing /opt/docker:/opt/docker
mount that COMPOSE_DIR=/opt/docker depends on.
- Reword the two "no exposed Docker socket" sentences so the claim is
scoped to remote / cross-node exposure.
- Reword "transparent HTTPS proxy" to "authenticated HTTP and WebSocket
proxy" with a TLS / VPN reminder.
- Fix the RBAC bullet: the role set is admin, viewer, deployer,
node-admin, auditor. There is no "editor" role.
- Add tier markers to the Capabilities list (matrix sentence plus
per-bullet (Skipper) / (Admiral) markers), verified against the
route guards in backend/src/routes/.
- Fix the broken notification-routing link to point at the existing
alerts-notifications#notification-routing anchor.
- Soften the BSL paraphrase to point at LICENSE plus the license FAQ.
- Add a "Telemetry and data handling" section: no telemetry, no
analytics, no crash reports; license validation only when a paid key
is activated.
- Add a "What Sencho is not (yet)" section so the scope boundaries are
visible above Capabilities.
Templates:
- PR template: drop the contradictory CHANGELOG checkbox; release-please
owns CHANGELOG.
- Bug report template: update the stale 0.2.2 version placeholder to
0.86.6 and add fields for compose snippet, container logs, browser
console, and an involved-subsystems checkbox.
Docs:
- docs/operations/trivy-setup.mdx: replace both sencho/sencho:latest
occurrences with the published image saelix/sencho:latest.
- docs/reference/settings.mdx: rewrite the API Tokens Note (no tier
gate in code; admin role only) and the Stack Labels Note (basic
CRUD is free; only bulk actions require Skipper or Admiral).
- Add the shared beta-status Note callout to docs/getting-started/
quickstart.mdx, docs/operations/upgrade.mdx, docs/operations/
troubleshooting.mdx, and docs/reference/security.mdx.
CONTRIBUTING:
- Replace the public link to the in-repo coding-rules file with a
pointer to docs.sencho.io for architecture deep-dives.
- Fix the sample clone URL case (Sencho.git becomes sencho.git).
New files:
- SUPPORT.md: where to ask, response-time expectations, in / out of
scope.
- KNOWN_LIMITATIONS.md: scale, platform, architecture, and feature
limits documented for the beta audience; scale numbers marked "not
benchmarked yet" pending real benchmarking.
