Security: - Enforce RBAC (system:console permission) on WebSocket upgrade - Validate token_version for user sessions on WS connections - Expand env var sanitization to cover additional secret patterns (PRIVATE, AUTH, PASSPHRASE, ENCRYPT, SIGNING) and connection strings (REDIS_URL, MONGO_URI, AMQP_URL, DSN) Reliability: - Add session tracking with max 5 concurrent console sessions - Add WebSocket heartbeat (30s ping, 60s pong timeout) to detect and clean up dead connections and orphaned PTY processes - Differentiate PTY spawn error messages (shell not found, permission denied, generic failure) - Guard against duplicate cleanup when both WS close and PTY exit fire Observability: - Add structured logging with [HostConsole] prefix for session lifecycle (open, close, duration, user, pid) - Add diagnostic logging behind developer_mode for terminal resize events and message parse errors Frontend: - Replace hardcoded hex colors with oklch CSS custom properties (--terminal-bg, --terminal-fg, --terminal-cursor, etc.) - Apply design system material tokens (shadow-card-bevel, recessed well shadow, card border hierarchy, strokeWidth 1.5) Tests: - Add 20 tests covering env sanitization patterns (10 keyword categories + safe vars + case insensitivity), session tracking, and console-token RBAC (admin, viewer, deployer, API tokens) Docs: - Document admin role requirement and session limits - Add troubleshooting section (session limits, shell not found, proxy timeouts, missing console tab) - Update security section with expanded env var coverage
Sencho
A self-hosted Docker Compose management dashboard. Manage your stacks, containers, images, volumes, and networks through a modern web UI.
Features

- App Store - One-click deployment from LinuxServer.io templates with editable ports, volumes, and environment variables
- Resource Hub - Browse and manage images, volumes, and networks with managed/external/unused classification
- Live Logs - Aggregated real-time log streaming across all containers with search and filtering
- Dashboard - Container stats, CPU/RAM metrics, health checks, and image update notifications
- Alerts - Configurable threshold alerts for CPU, RAM, and disk usage
- Terminal - In-browser host console and container exec via WebSocket
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.
