Anso c0c321227b perf: unify caching behind a single CacheService and enable HTTP compression (#468)
Replaces five ad-hoc in-process caches (project name map, templates, latest
version, fleet update status, remote node meta) with a single internal
CacheService that provides TTL, inflight-promise deduplication to protect
against thundering herd, stale-on-error fallback, and per-namespace
hit/miss/stale/size counters for observability.

Wraps the hot-path dashboard endpoints in the cache with write-path
invalidation: /api/stats (2s), /api/system/stats (3s), and
/api/stacks/statuses (3s). Keys are namespaced by nodeId so switching nodes
never serves another node's data. Every route that mutates container or
stack state calls invalidateNodeCaches(nodeId), which also drops the global
project-name-map, so user actions stay instantly reflected in the UI.

For /api/system/stats the cheap per-request network rx/tx block is kept
outside the cache so live-updating charts stay smooth while the expensive
systeminformation.currentLoad() CPU sample (~200ms) is reused across the
TTL.

Adds admin-only GET /api/system/cache-stats returning per-namespace
counters for operators who want to observe cache effectiveness.

Enables the compression middleware site-wide for JSON responses. Large
payloads like /api/templates shrink roughly 5x on the wire. SSE endpoints
are explicitly excluded via a Content-Type filter so live log tails and
metric streams are not buffered.

Bumps vitest hookTimeout to match testTimeout (15s) so parallel fork
workers do not hit the default 10s hook limit under CPU contention.

Adds 35 new tests (26 unit for CacheService, 9 integration for cached
endpoints) covering TTL expiry, inflight dedup, stale-on-error,
namespace invalidation, entry-cap safety guard, and write-path
invalidation end-to-end through Express routes.

Sencho

CI Docker License

A self-hosted Docker Compose management dashboard. Manage your stacks, containers, images, volumes, and networks through a modern web UI.

Sencho Dashboard

Features

  • Stack Management - Create, edit, start, stop, and remove Docker Compose stacks with a built-in Monaco code editor
  • Multi-Node Support - Manage remote Sencho instances through a transparent HTTP/WebSocket proxy (Distributed API model)
  • 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.
