Realign tier guards to the user-stated philosophy: Community covers
deploy/monitor at scale plus security basics, Skipper adds automation
and advanced fleet management, Admiral keeps enterprise control.
Community now includes:
- Trivy install / uninstall / update from the Settings Hub (admin role)
- CVE suppressions CRUD (admin role; replicates fleet-wide)
- Manual image scan with vuln, secret, and misconfig results
- Stack-config scan, scan comparison
- Manual fleet snapshots: create, list, view, restore, delete
- Per-node Sencho self-update (Check Updates + per-node Update)
- Fleet Overview search, sort, filters, node-card expand, auto-refresh
Stays paid:
- Scan policies with block_on_deploy enforcement (Skipper+)
- SBOM (SPDX, CycloneDX), SARIF export (Skipper+)
- Bulk Update All across the fleet (Skipper+)
- Scheduled snapshot create (now Skipper, was Admiral)
- Trivy auto-update toggle, fleet-wide policy push (Admiral)
The Settings -> Security tab is unhidden by setting the registry tier to
null. The SecuritySection no longer early-returns a PaidGate; the policy
list, Add Policy button, and policy dialogs are wrapped in {isPaid && }.
The Fleet view drops isPaid gates on the Snapshots tab, Check Updates
button, per-node update handlers, OverviewToolbar grid controls, the
NodeCard expand affordance, and the auto-refresh notice. The
NodeUpdatesSheet receives a canBulkUpdate prop and gates the Update All
button on it. useFleetUpdateStatus and useFleetPolling drop their isPaid
guards so polling runs for Community; useFleetOverview drops the isPaid
wrap on the filter and sort path.
Backend route guards are flipped per the matrix above. The scheduler
tick and requireScheduledTaskTier add 'snapshot' to the Skipper+ branch.
Backend test assertions are inverted for the now-Community endpoints
and a positive Skipper-snapshot-task test is added.
Documentation across features/, api-reference/, and operations/ is
updated to reflect the new tier mapping.
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.
