Pure nearest-cosine piled near-identical images into the neighbour grid — a reposted banner filled all 24 slots, and once you wandered into a B&W / comic-panel cluster every neighbour was more of the same with no way back to colour without the Random button (operator-reported, with screenshot). similar() now over-fetches a wide candidate pool (5x the requested limit, cap 200), then diversifies down to `limit`: - pHash near-duplicate collapse: drop candidates within 6 Hamming bits of the anchor or an already-kept candidate, so a repost (and the anchor's own clones) appears at most once. - MMR re-rank: greedily pick for closeness-to-anchor minus similarity-to-already -picked (lambda 0.55), so the result SPANS clusters instead of returning 40 variations of one image. Falls back to nearest-order on any failure / small pool, so existing nearest-first behaviour is unchanged when there's nothing to diversify. Frontend forwardTarget drops the now-redundant skip-nearest-third hack (the list is already diversified server-side) — plain random-over-unvisited gives the variance now.

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
