* fix(resources): subtract shared layers when accounting managed prune bytes Both `pruneManagedOnly` and `estimateManagedReclaim` walked the Sencho-managed prunable image set and summed `img.Size` per image. That counts shared base layers once per image, so a 1 GB base layer shared across N managed images was reported as N GB freed — the same shape of inflation we just fixed for the system-scope banner. Introduce `getImageSharedSizeMap()` which reads `df.Images[].SharedSize` once and lets both code paths subtract `SharedSize` per image when totalling: `+= max(0, Size - shared)`. If `df` fails, the helper returns an empty map and the accounting degrades to the prior sum-of-Size behavior rather than failing the prune. Verified against a live daemon: `/api/system/prune/estimate` with `scope: managed, target: images` now returns the layer-aware number; the older per-image-Size sum was roughly 1.8× larger on the same set. * fix(resources): use df-delta for destructive managed prune; label estimate as lower bound The first attempt at this PR subtracted SharedSize per prunable image on both paths. That formula undercounts when prunable images share a layer exclusively with each other: Docker frees the layer once, but the per-image subtraction removes it from every referrer. The reported total is then strictly less than the truth. Split the two paths: - pruneManagedOnly (destructive) now snapshots `docker df` before and after the parallel removes and reports `max(0, before.LayersSize - after.LayersSize)`. That is the honest measurement of bytes freed. Concurrent pulls during the prune can grow the after value; the clamp treats that as 0 reclaimed for the affected delta rather than attributing the new bytes to us. - estimateManagedReclaim keeps the per-image Σ(Size - SharedSize) formula but the JSDoc now calls it a "conservative lower bound" and documents the under-report mechanism. There is no cheap way to exactly price an arbitrary prune subset without per-layer enumeration. Fallback chain when df fails on the destructive path: - before-snapshot succeeded, after failed → per-image lower bound from before-snapshot (safe; SharedSize was known at start). - before-snapshot failed → report 0 with a warn log (after-only would build a SharedSize map missing the just-pruned images, which would over-report by treating them as having no sharing). Replaces the prior `getImageSharedSizeMap()` helper with two pieces: `safeDfSnapshot()` (I/O) and a private static `mapSharedSizesFromDf()` (pure parse), reused by both code paths. New invariant test asserts `prune.reclaimedBytes >= estimate.reclaimableBytes` on the same inputs so future changes to either formula cannot flip the direction. Addresses Codex audit blocker on PR #1155.

What Sencho is
Sencho is for homelab operators, small DevOps teams, and platform engineers who run services on Docker Compose, want a graphical interface without giving up file-on-disk workflows, and need to manage more than one machine without SSH gymnastics or a VPN.
It runs as a single container on your hardware and gives you a UI for the work you currently do over SSH on compose stacks: deploying, editing files, watching logs, restarting containers, browsing volumes, and recovering from failures. Your compose files stay on the host filesystem and remain the source of truth.
A Sencho instance is autonomous. To manage another machine, you install a second Sencho on it and connect them with a long-lived API token; the primary dashboard then acts as a transparent HTTPS proxy across your fleet. There is no SSH and no exposed Docker socket. For nodes behind NAT or strict firewalls, the Pilot Agent establishes a single outbound WebSocket tunnel to the primary, so the remote host opens no inbound port at all.
Most capabilities are free in the Community tier. A few advanced automation and fleet-control features ship in paid tiers; pricing lives at sencho.io/pricing.

Quick start
Sencho runs in a single container.
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
Open http://your-server:1852 and create your admin account.
Always front Sencho with a TLS-terminating reverse proxy in production. See the self-hosting guide for hardening, environment variables, and reverse-proxy examples.
Run with docker run instead
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
For the full walkthrough, see the quickstart guide.
Adding remote nodes
To manage a second machine, install Sencho on it the same way, then add it from the primary dashboard with its URL and a long-lived API token. The primary proxies authenticated HTTPS and WebSocket requests to the remote instance. No SSH, no exposed Docker socket, no agent process on the remote. Nodes behind NAT or strict firewalls can opt into the Pilot Agent for outbound-only connectivity.
See the multi-node guide for the full token-bearer flow.
