UBDCC Dashboard

Browser-based live dashboard for the UNICORN Binance DepthCache Cluster (UBDCC) — monitor every depth cache in your cluster at a glance, spot out-of-sync caches instantly, and add or remove caches on the fly.

Part of the UNICORN Binance Suite.

Features

• Compact mini-orderbook tiles per depth cache — top-3 asks/bids with quantity bars and spread in bps.
• Continuous, low-overhead polling: IntersectionObserver + filter gate means only on-screen, matching tiles hit the cluster.
• Status colouring per tile: out-of-sync (error_id #6000) turns red, other errors yellow with a compact error message.
• Cluster Status header button with a live health dot (green / yellow / red) driven by a 30 s /get_cluster_info poll. Click for a full breakdown — pods grouped by role, node topology, per-DepthCache replica donut with distribution state and (when available) sync state, credentials summary.
• Credentials Manager — add / remove / list Binance API key pairs on a running cluster right from the dashboard. api_secret input is masked, stored keys show only a preview, remove requires two-click confirm.
• API Builder — onboarding helper for developers. Pick a task (create DepthCache, get asks/bids, add credentials, ...), fill in the form, copy a ready-to-paste snippet in curl, HTTPie, Python (using the official UBLDC Cluster client), JavaScript, Go, C#, Java, Rust, PHP or C/C++. "Try it" runs GET-safe tasks through the dashboard's CORS proxy and shows the pretty-printed JSON response. Modal footer links to the cluster's OpenAPI reference at /docs and to the dashboard's issue tracker for snippet bug reports.
• Version badge next to the title. On load, the dashboard asks PyPI for the latest release of ubdcc-dashboard. Up to date → badge stays in the accent colour. Outdated → animated rainbow gradient with a pip install -U hint in the hover tooltip. Backed by a local /version endpoint on the launcher HTTP server.
• Add DepthCaches modal with live exchangeInfo symbol lookup for spot, cross / isolated margin, futures, options (incl. testnets). Shows only actively tradable symbols. Free-text fallback for exchanges without a public exchangeInfo.
• Bulk × Remove filtered with two-click confirmation — only active when a filter is set, so you can never accidentally remove every DC.
• Per-tile × remove with two-click confirmation and 3 s auto-disarm.
• Disconnect button to stop polling and cut load on the cluster.
• Refresh-rate throttle from max down to 10 s. Default 2 s is polite to the cluster; crank it up to max for live feel, or drop down to 5 s / 10 s for gentler polling on lightly-used clusters.
• Dark theme, tabular-numeric fonts, no framework, no tracking — a single HTML file served by a minimal stdlib HTTP server.

Installation and Upgrade

pip install -U ubdcc-dashboard

Requires Python 3.9+. No external dependencies — uses only the standard library.

Already running the cluster? pip install ubdcc bundles ubdcc-dashboard automatically — no separate install step needed. Standalone install is still useful when you want the dashboard on a different machine than the cluster, or pinned to a specific version.

Quick Start

ubdcc-dashboard start

The server binds to 127.0.0.1:8080 (localhost only) by default and opens the dashboard in your browser. Enter the URL of your UBDCC MGMT node (typical: http://<cluster-host>:42081) and hit Connect.

CLI options

ubdcc-dashboard start [--host HOST] [--port PORT] [--no-browser]
                      [--proxy-timeout SECONDS] [--batch-workers N]

Flag	Default	Description
--host	127.0.0.1	Interface to bind. Localhost only by default — secure. Use --host 0.0.0.0 to expose the dashboard on your network.
--port	8080	TCP port to listen on.
--no-browser	off	Do not auto-open the browser on start.
--proxy-timeout	10.0	Timeout (seconds) for the CORS proxy's outbound fetches.
--batch-workers	32	Worker threads used for /proxy_batch fan-out.

Exposing on the network

ubdcc-dashboard start --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080

Note: The proxy is unauthenticated. Only expose the dashboard on a trusted network.

How it works

The dashboard is a single index.html (vanilla JS, no framework) served by a small stdlib HTTP server. The server also acts as a tiny CORS proxy so the browser can query a remote UBDCC cluster that does not send Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers.

Under the hood:

• GET /proxy?url=… — passes a single GET through.
• POST /proxy {url, body} — passes a single JSON POST through.
• POST /proxy_batch {base, requests} — fans out a list of GETs over a thread pool (default 32 workers) for snappy orderbook refreshes.
• GET /version — returns {"version": "..."} read from ubdcc_dashboard.__version__. Used by the header version badge and usable as a health-check target.

The unicorn-binance-depth-cache-cluster project is the server side of this story — the dashboard just paints what the cluster already exposes via its REST API.
