For redeploying curator while away with nobody to restart the agent: - _process now distinguishes a TRANSPORT error (curator down/redeploying, 5xx, 401/403/408/409/429, or our lease reclaimed mid-flight) from a genuine job fault. On a transport error it hands the job back (best effort) and signals the loop to back off — instead of calling fail(), which would burn the job's server-side attempt budget (MAX_ATTEMPTS=3) and permanently error good jobs across a redeploy. Job-specific 4xx (404 image gone) still fail so they don't re-lease forever. - lease loop retries with capped exponential backoff (poll_idle → 60s) and resets on the first successful lease, so a long outage is gentle and recovery is automatic within ≤60s of curator returning. Sleeps are interruptible so Stop / pool-shrink stays responsive. - AUTO_START env (default on in compose) resumes the worker on container start, so a host reboot / crash-restart (restart: unless-stopped) self-heals with nobody at the desktop. - control UI shows a "waited out" counter + an "curator unreachable, holding work" banner so the recovering state reads as recovery, not failure.

FabledCurator
Self-hosted media curation — gallery, ML tagging, and subscription-driven downloading in one app. Part of the FabledSword family.
Combines what was ImageRepo (gallery, ML, importer) and GallerySubscriber (gallery-dl wrapper, subscriptions, credential capture) into a single product.
Status
Pre-v1. Not yet functional.
Quick start
For local development and testing, just:
docker compose up -d
# UI: http://localhost:8080
That uses sane dev defaults baked into docker-compose.yml and the dev
override (docker-compose.override.yml, auto-merged) — local builds, DEBUG
logging, exposed Postgres + Redis ports on the host. No .env required.
For a production-like deployment, override the dev defaults via shell env
or a .env file (see .env.example for the variable names) and use:
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d
# (skips the override so containers pull registry images)
Deployment posture
FabledCurator is designed to run inside a self-hosted homelab environment over plain HTTP. If you want TLS, terminate it at your reverse proxy. The app does not generate certificates, redirect to HTTPS, or set HSTS.
CI / Forgejo setup
The repo's workflows expect:
-
Runner label
python-ci— a Forgejo runner with Python 3.14, ruff, and Node 22 pre-installed. Bothci.ymlandbuild.ymluse this label. The runner image (runner-base:python-ci) is built fromCI-Runner/CI-python/in the operator's workspace;make pushfrom that directory builds and pushes a new image when toolchain pins change. -
Repo secret
RELEASE_TOKEN— a Forgejo PAT with the following scopes:write:package+read:package— fordocker pushtogit.fabledsword.comwrite:release— for future release-cutting workflowswrite:issue— for future issue-management automation
