* perf(security): bucket CVE suppressions by id at read time
applySuppressions now builds a Map<cve_id, suppression[]> once before the
per-finding loop, dropping per-finding work to O(matching-cve-suppressions)
rather than O(all-suppressions). At a fleet-wide cap of 10000 rows against
a multi-thousand-finding scan, the prior linear-per-finding shape drifted
into tens of millions of comparisons per render.
Public API of findSuppression and applySuppressions is unchanged.
Specificity scoring, expiry handling, and image-glob matching are
preserved bit-for-bit. Adds a regression guard that pins a 10000x2000
workload under 1.5s and asserts at least one match was actually returned.
* feat(security): record audit-log entries on control-side CVE suppression CRUD
The replica receive path already wrote an audit-log entry on apply; the
control-side POST/PUT/DELETE handlers did not. Operators reading the
audit panel saw mirrored security-rule changes from the replica view but
could not see who originated them on the control. Symmetric logging
closes that gap.
The summary records the CVE id and pinned scope (pkg, image) but never
the suppression's reason text. Reasons are free-form admin input that
replicate fleet-wide and may carry incident-tracker IDs or vendor
context the operator did not intend to broadcast.
The summary is also sanitised before emission so an operator-supplied
package name or image pattern carrying a smuggled newline plus a forged
"cve_suppression.delete:" prefix cannot inject a fake row into the audit
panel. Control characters become "?" and the field is capped to its
validator length.
Adds a Control-side audit log block to suppression-routes.test.ts that
asserts the privacy contract on each verb (scope present, reason absent),
plus a log-injection guard test, plus a regression that GET still works
when the local instance is a replica.
* test(security): cover cve_suppressions fleet-sync receive path
The existing fleet-sync route tests covered the protocol mechanics
(auth, anchor, stale push, reanchor, demote) for cve_suppressions only
with empty-rows payloads. The suppression-specific concerns were
unverified end-to-end:
- actual rows replace prior replicated rows on a fresh push
- the receive path writes an audit-log entry naming the source
fingerprint and row count
- a malformed suppression row is rejected at the validator before any
DB write
Adds a focused block exercising those three properties against the real
Express app, real SQLite, and the real apply transaction.
* docs(features): refresh CVE suppressions troubleshooting and field guidance
Converts the troubleshooting section to Mintlify Accordion blocks so
each entry is foldable and the page stays scannable. Adds entries for:
- control-identity mismatch on a replica (anchor-aware reanchor flow)
- mirrored rules persisting after a control demote
- the 10000-row truncation cap on a fleet sync push
Adds a privacy note to the Reason field guidance: do not paste
credentials, tokens, or vendor secrets there, since the field replicates
fleet-wide and surfaces on every node's suppressions panel.
Self-hosted Docker Compose management with self-healing infrastructure, atomic deployments, and multi-network fleet control. Built for engineers who want Kubernetes-grade reliability without the complexity.
Why Sencho?
Works across every network
Pilot Agent tunnels through NAT and firewalls so every node in your fleet is reachable from the dashboard, regardless of network topology. No port-forwarding. No VPN. No SSH.
Containers crash. Sencho fixes them.
Auto-heal policies watch your stacks and take action (restart, redeploy, notify) before you even open your laptop. Define the rules once; the recovery runs itself.
Deploy safely without Kubernetes
Atomic deployments mean a failed stack never leaves you in a broken half-up state. Rollback is one click. Deploy enforcement policies block non-compliant images before they ever run.
Define behavior, not procedures
Auto-update policies, scheduled operations, webhooks, and deploy enforcement let you codify how your infrastructure behaves. The UI is for oversight; the engine runs the work.
Features
Stack Management
- Monaco editor with syntax highlighting and multi-file support
- Atomic deployments with live progress tracking and one-click rollback
- Git-sourced stacks: pull and sync from any repository
- Stack file explorer and label management
Monitoring & Observability
- Live log streaming with search and filtering across all containers
- CPU, RAM, and disk threshold alerts with configurable actions
- Container stats, health checks, and image update notifications
- Global observability view across all nodes in your fleet
Fleet Management
- Multi-node via authenticated HTTP/WebSocket proxy (no SSH, no remote socket)
- Fleet view and sync for coordinated updates across nodes
- Pilot Agent for NAT traversal and firewall-crossing connections
- Node compatibility checks before deploying
Automation
- Auto-heal policies: detect and recover from container failures automatically
- Auto-update policies: roll out new image versions on your terms
- Scheduled operations with cron expressions
- Webhooks and deploy enforcement rules
Security
- SSO: custom OIDC (any spec-compliant provider), Google/GitHub/Okta presets, LDAP/Active Directory
- Two-factor authentication and RBAC with deployer, node-admin, and auditor roles
- Audit log, vulnerability scanning with VEX suppression, and private registry support
- Deploy enforcement to block non-compliant images
Operations
- App Store with one-click LinuxServer.io template deployments
- Sencho Cloud Backup for off-site stack archives
- Notification routing to Slack, Discord, email, and webhooks
- Global search across stacks and containers
Architecture
Sencho's architecture combines a Distributed API model with an optional Pilot Agent for complex networks.
- Distributed API: Remote nodes are managed by proxying authenticated HTTP/WebSocket requests to autonomous Sencho instances running on each server. No SSH. No remote Docker socket exposure. No polling agent. Each node speaks the same Sencho API, so the dashboard is just another client.
- Pilot Agent: For nodes behind NAT or strict firewalls, the Pilot Agent establishes secure outbound tunnels to the primary dashboard instance. This guarantees full fleet visibility and management without requiring port-forwarding, VPNs, or inbound network access.
Quick Start
Docker run (quickest):
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
Docker Compose (recommended for production):
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
Then open http://your-server:1852 and create your admin account.
