Ships the v1 MVP for the Federation tab as placement control, not
placement automation:
- Cordon a node: marks the node unschedulable so the BlueprintReconciler
skips it for new placements only. Existing deployments continue to
drift-check and redeploy on revision changes; cordon never triggers
withdraw or eviction. Toggle on the NodeCard kebab (Admiral, admin
role); Cordoned pill renders for all tiers.
- Pin a blueprint to a node: stores blueprints.pinned_node_id, replacing
the desired set with the pinned node regardless of selector. Pin
overrides cordon by design. Action lives only in the Federation tab;
BlueprintDetail and the deployment table show read-only Pinned
indicators.
Backend: idempotent migrations add nodes.cordoned/cordoned_at/cordoned_reason
and blueprints.pinned_node_id. New routes POST /api/nodes/:id/cordon,
POST /api/nodes/:id/uncordon, PUT /api/blueprints/:id/pin, all gated by
requireAdmiral plus requireAdmin. Audit summaries added so the existing
auditLog middleware records every operator action. deleteNode clears
dangling pins.
Reconciler: pin override evaluated before selector match; cordon filter
applied only to the new-placement branch (deploy/stateReview without an
existing deployment). 11 new Vitest cases cover cordon filter, pin
override, pin-overrides-cordon, missing pin target, pin shrinks
desired set (stateless withdraw + stateful evict_blocked), and pin
clearing on node delete.
Frontend: new FederationTab.tsx with cordoned-nodes summary and
pin-policy table. Federation moved out of the experimental flag into
{isAdmiral && (...)} + AdmiralGate, mirroring the Routing tab pattern.
Secrets stays under experimental.
Tests pass: backend tsc, full Vitest suite (1704 passed), frontend
tsc -b, ESLint (0 errors). Manual verification via the local dev
instance confirmed the tab is hidden at Community, the kebab and pill
render at Admiral, and cordon and pin endpoints round-trip end to end.

Sencho
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.
See the full documentation for configuration details, multi-node setup, and more.
Documentation
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 1852.
