External file-host fetches run to a 60-min hard limit (time_limit=3600, per-fetch _FETCH_TIMEOUT=3000s), far longer than the recovery sweep's 5-min default. recover_stalled_task_runs was phantom-flagging healthy in-flight fetches as "RecoverySweep: no completion signal received within 5 min" before the task's own timeout/error handling could surface the real error (operator-flagged: target 414 swept at 6.6min). The sweep already has per-queue/per-task overrides for long tasks, but fetch_external_link was never added and its TaskRun records queue='default' (no queue override) despite external.* routing to download. Add a task-name override of 65 min (time_limit 60 + 5 buffer); task-name precedence makes it robust regardless of the recorded queue. No new internal timeout needed — the existing _FETCH_TIMEOUT + soft_time_limit + except-block log.exception already capture the real failure once the sweep stops preempting. Pinned tests: external-fetch override survives a 10-min row / flags a 70-min row on queue='default'; invariant guard asserts override >= hard time_limit.

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
