The index.ts refactor inverted the proxy mount order. The pre-refactor
monolith mounted `app.use('/api/', remoteNodeProxy)` before any inline
route, so remote-nodeId requests short-circuited into the proxy. After
the refactor the proxy was registered after every per-group router, so
Express matched local routers first and remote-nodeId requests were
silently handled with the control instance's local state (e.g.
GET /api/stacks with x-node-id=<remote> returned local stacks rather
than the remote's).
Fix moves createRemoteProxyMiddleware() between enforceApiTokenScope
and the first per-group router, matching middleware-order.md step 13
and restoring pre-refactor behavior. PROXY_EXEMPT_PREFIXES continues to
cover gateway-level paths (auth, nodes, license, fleet, webhooks, meta)
that must stay local even when x-node-id targets a remote.
Add four regression guards that would have caught this:
- json-parser-bypass.test.ts: asserts conditionalJsonParser leaves the
request stream intact on proxy-eligible paths so http-proxy can pipe
the raw body to the upstream; spins up a local echo server and
verifies the bytes arrive.
- proxy-mount-order.test.ts: asserts a remote-nodeId GET short-circuits
into the proxy (502 from unreachable upstream) instead of matching a
local router (200 from local state).
- upgrade-order.test.ts: pins WebSocket dispatch order by observing
handler-specific side effects for notifications, remote forwarder,
logs, and pilot tunnel.
- remote-console-session.test.ts: asserts the HTTP console-token route
mints a JWT with the same claim shape as the shared mintConsoleSession
helper, so gateway and WS forwarder tokens remain interchangeable.
Full suite: 73 files, 1,358 tests, all passing.

Quick Start
services:
sencho:
image: saelix/sencho:latest
container_name: sencho
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- "3000:3000"
volumes:
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
- ./data:/app/data
# 1:1 Compose Path Rule: host path MUST match container path
- /opt/docker:/opt/docker
environment:
- COMPOSE_DIR=/opt/docker
- DATA_DIR=/app/data
docker compose up -d
Then open http://your-server:3000 and create your admin account.
See the full documentation for configuration details, multi-node setup, and more.
Development
# Backend (Express + TypeScript)
cd backend && npm install && npm run dev
# Frontend (React + Vite)
cd frontend && npm install && npm run dev
The frontend dev server proxies /api requests to the backend on port 3000.
