* fix(webhooks): harden trigger response surface
Bundles six audit findings on the incoming-webhooks trigger path. All
changes preserve the documented happy path: a CI caller signing the exact
request body with the webhook secret still receives 202 Accepted.
* Uniform 404 on every unauthenticated rejection (missing webhook,
disabled webhook, non-paid tier, missing signature header, missing
raw body, signature mismatch). The four-way response surface previously
let an unauthenticated probe enumerate webhook ids and fingerprint the
instance's licence tier; callers now see one shape for any failed auth.
* Fail closed when express.json()'s verify callback did not capture the
raw request body. Previously the handler fell back to
JSON.stringify(req.body), which compares the HMAC against a
re-serialised payload that is not byte-equal to what the client signed.
* Pass the already-loaded webhook through to WebhookService.execute()
instead of re-fetching by id. Closes the delete-during-execution race
where an admin deletion between the trigger handler's load and the async
dispatch silently dropped the execution row. The webhook_executions
table has ON DELETE CASCADE, so recordExecution now wraps the insert in
try/catch and logs a warning when the FK constraint trips because the
parent webhook was deleted mid-flight.
* Redact bearer tokens, JWTs, URL credentials, and homedir paths from
error strings before persisting to webhook_executions.error. The
execution history is readable by any paid user via GET /webhooks/:id/
history; redactSensitiveText gains three home-directory patterns
(/home/<user>, /Users/<user>, <drive>:\Users\<user>) and now runs on
every error stored from this path.
* Cap webhook name at 100 characters on both POST and PUT, rejecting
non-string and oversized values with 400 before they reach the DB.
* Validate the body's action override against a typed allowlist
(isWebhookAction type guard) on the trigger endpoint, returning 400
before queueing execution. An unknown override no longer reaches
recordExecution as a stored failure row.
Tests updated to pass db.getWebhook(id)! instead of the raw id to the new
execute() signature. Docs at docs/features/webhooks.mdx updated to reflect
the new uniform 404 response, the new 400-on-invalid-action behaviour, and
a rewritten troubleshooting accordion that walks operators through every
cause of the uniform 404.
* test(webhooks): cover trigger handler auth, race, and redaction paths
Adds 21 vitest cases for the public webhook trigger handler and the
WebhookService.execute / recordExecution pipeline, plus 3 cases for the
new homedir patterns in redactSensitiveText.
webhooks-trigger.test.ts covers, per audit finding:
* M1 + H3 uniform 404: id unknown, webhook disabled, non-paid tier,
missing signature header, missing rawBody, sha1= prefix, malformed
hex signature, sig mismatch. Each asserts identical 404 body so a
future regression that re-introduces 401 / 403 / PAID_REQUIRED breaks
one of the 8 tests.
* Happy path: 202 with configured action, valid action override,
unknown action override returns 400 after auth succeeds (L2),
non-string action override returns 400.
* L1 name cap: POST and PUT both reject names over 100 chars and
non-string names; 100-char boundary still accepted; PUT allows
partial updates that omit name.
* M5 race: deleting the parent webhook before recordExecution runs no
longer crashes the async dispatch; the FK cascade is swallowed with
a console.warn, and a happy-path test pins the recordExecution row.
* M6 redaction: stubs ComposeService.runCommand to throw errors
containing a bearer token and a homedir path, then asserts the
persisted webhook_executions.error has both scrubbed.
safe-log.test.ts gains three unit tests pinning the new homedir
patterns in redactSensitiveText (Linux, macOS, Windows). The existing
credentials test is untouched.
Tests use prototype spies on FileSystemService and ComposeService (both
hand out a fresh instance per nodeId), so per-test mocks do not leak.
beforeEach restores all mocks and reapplies the LicenseService 'paid'
spy. Closes audit finding H2 (zero trigger-path test coverage).
* docs(webhooks): sync openapi spec with new trigger response surface
Brings docs/openapi.yaml in line with the behaviour changes from the
trigger hardening commit. Mintlify auto-generates the per-endpoint
reference pages from this spec, so the spec drift would surface as
wrong response codes in the public API reference.
POST /api/webhooks and PUT /api/webhooks/🆔
* name: maxLength 100 (matches MAX_WEBHOOK_NAME_LENGTH on the route).
* action enum: add git-pull (pre-existing omission; the route has
always accepted it).
* node_id: documented as an integer property (pre-existing omission).
POST /api/webhooks/:id/trigger:
* requestBody required: true (body is now mandatory; the H3
fail-closed branch rejects a missing rawBody).
* action override: enum restricted to the allowlist.
* 401 and 403 responses removed.
* 404 response: description rewritten to reflect uniform-404
behaviour; the body is { error: "Webhook not found or signature
invalid" } for every unauthenticated reject.
* 400 response added for an authenticated request whose action
override is not in the allowlist.

What Sencho is
Sencho is for homelab operators, small DevOps teams, and platform engineers who run services on Docker Compose, want a graphical interface without giving up file-on-disk workflows, and need to manage more than one machine without SSH gymnastics or a VPN.
It runs as a single container on your hardware and gives you a UI for the work you currently do over SSH on compose stacks: deploying, editing files, watching logs, restarting containers, browsing volumes, and recovering from failures. Your compose files stay on the host filesystem and remain the source of truth.
A Sencho instance is autonomous. To manage another machine, you install a second Sencho on it and connect them with a long-lived API token; the primary dashboard then acts as a transparent HTTPS proxy across your fleet. There is no SSH and no exposed Docker socket. For nodes behind NAT or strict firewalls, the Pilot Agent establishes a single outbound WebSocket tunnel to the primary, so the remote host opens no inbound port at all.
Most capabilities are free in the Community tier. A few advanced automation and fleet-control features ship in paid tiers; pricing lives at sencho.io/pricing.

Quick start
Sencho runs in a single container.
services:
sencho:
image: saelix/sencho:latest
container_name: sencho
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- "1852:1852"
volumes:
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
- ./data:/app/data
# 1:1 Compose Path Rule: the host path MUST match the container path
- /opt/docker:/opt/docker
environment:
- COMPOSE_DIR=/opt/docker
- DATA_DIR=/app/data
docker compose up -d
Open http://your-server:1852 and create your admin account.
Always front Sencho with a TLS-terminating reverse proxy in production. See the self-hosting guide for hardening, environment variables, and reverse-proxy examples.
Run with docker run instead
docker run -d --name sencho \
-p 1852:1852 \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
-v sencho_data:/app/data \
-e COMPOSE_DIR=/opt/docker \
saelix/sencho:latest
For the full walkthrough, see the quickstart guide.
Adding remote nodes
To manage a second machine, install Sencho on it the same way, then add it from the primary dashboard with its URL and a long-lived API token. The primary proxies authenticated HTTPS and WebSocket requests to the remote instance. No SSH, no exposed Docker socket, no agent process on the remote. Nodes behind NAT or strict firewalls can opt into the Pilot Agent for outbound-only connectivity.
See the multi-node guide for the full token-bearer flow.
