If Patreon renames/restructures the post body field again (as content → content_json_string already did), every body silently comes back empty and we'd archive empty posts without noticing. Surface that as a loud failure. Research-grounded design (Patreon `content` is officially null|string, body has no post_type gate, gallery-dl independently added the same content_json_string fallback): empty bodies are LEGITIMATE for gallery/art posts, so a fraction threshold would false-positive constantly. The robust, creator-independent break signature is "a meaningful sample of posts, a body extracted from NONE of them." - ingest_core counts posts_recorded / posts_with_body on the native post-record path (gallery-dl never enters it, so the canary is native-only by construction). - When posts_recorded >= _CANARY_MIN_SAMPLE (30) and posts_with_body == 0, return ErrorType.API_DRIFT (maps to task_run status "error" — red; its semantics are literally "fix the field-set/parser, not creds"). Placed after the timeout/stop returns so it never masks a more specific failure. - Run summary always appends "bodies X/Y" for sub-threshold observability (a partial regression that still extracts some bodies shows in the Raw stdout). Tests: zero bodies over the sample -> API_DRIFT; bodies present -> success; below the sample floor -> success (tick safety). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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
