A freshly created subscription has no gallery-dl archive yet, so the first poll in tick mode would walk forever — exit:20 doesn't trip until 20 contiguous archive-hits, and there are none. The wall-clock cap kicks in mid-walk, and the partial-success classifier (plan #544) gracefully labels it status=ok, but the operator still wonders why their new subscription isn't grabbing the back-catalog. Pre-arm `backfill_runs_remaining = 3` on create() when `enabled=True`. Same default as the manual "Deep scan" button, same auto-decrement and auto-reset rules — once the queue drains (clean exit + zero new files) or the budget runs out, tick mode resumes naturally. Disabled sources (sidecar synthetics with `url='sidecar:<platform>:<slug>'` that arrive disabled = False, or operator-added sources that start disabled deliberately) skip the pre-arm — they're never polled, no budget to waste.
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
Generate at https://git.fabledsword.com/user/settings/applications. The injected
