bvandeusen 4aff9c557d chore: docker compose ergonomics — rename dev override, bake dev defaults
- Renamed docker-compose.dev.yml → docker-compose.override.yml so Docker
  Compose auto-merges it. `docker compose up` (no -f) now Just Works for
  local development.

- Removed the `env_file: .env` requirement from every service in the base
  file. Operators no longer need to create a .env to bring the stack up.

- Baked sane dev defaults directly into docker-compose.yml via
  ${VAR:-default} interpolation:
    DB_USER=fabledcurator
    DB_PASSWORD=fabledcurator_dev
    DB_NAME=fabledcurator
    SECRET_KEY=dev_secret_key_not_for_production_change_me
    LOG_LEVEL=INFO (overridden to DEBUG by the dev override)

  Defaults are insecure but explicitly named so. For production, override
  via shell env vars or a .env file at the project root.

- README quick-start simplified to a single `docker compose up -d`.

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. Both ci.yml and build.yml use this label. The runner image (runner-base:python-ci) is built from CI-Runner/CI-python/ in the operator's workspace; make push from 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 — for docker push to git.fabledsword.com
    • write:release — for future release-cutting workflows
    • write:issue — for future issue-management automation

    Generate at https://git.fabledsword.com/user/settings/applications. The injected GITHUB_TOKEN cannot be used because it lacks write:package.
