Operator-asked 2026-06-01 after the Dymkens orphan investigation (Scribe plan #540). The pre-2030 sidecar-synthetic Source pattern (`sidecar:<platform>:<slug>` enabled=false rows) existed solely to satisfy `Post.source_id NOT NULL`, and leaked into the Subscriptions UI as phantom subscriptions. Now the data model says what's true: filesystem-imported content with no live subscription has NULL source_id, full stop. ## Schema (alembic 0030) - `post.artist_id` — NEW NOT NULL FK to artist (CASCADE). Backfilled from source.artist_id in the migration. Indexed for the artist-filter queries. - `post.source_id` — NOT NULL → nullable; FK ondelete CASCADE → SET NULL. Deleting a Source detaches its Posts instead of destroying archived content (subscription ends, archive stays). - `image_provenance.source_id` — same nullable + SET NULL. - Partial unique index `uq_post_artist_external_id_null_source` on (artist_id, external_post_id) WHERE source_id IS NULL — guards filesystem-import dedup since the existing source-bound unique ignores NULLs (Postgres treats NULL != NULL). - Sidecar synthetic Sources deleted: NULL out FKs in post, image_provenance first, then DELETE FROM source WHERE url LIKE 'sidecar:%'. The Dymkens cleanup. ## Model + service changes - `Post.source_id` → `Mapped[int | None]`; new `Post.artist_id` denormalized. - `ImageProvenance.source_id` → `Mapped[int | None]`. - Importer: `_source_for_sidecar` (synthetic-creating) → `_lookup_source_for_sidecar` (returns None when no subscription). `_find_or_create_post` takes required `artist_id`; matches on (source_id, external_post_id) for source-bound posts or (artist_id, external_post_id) for NULL-source posts. - Service queries switched off the Source detour to use Post.artist_id directly: post_feed_service.scroll/around/get_post (LEFT JOIN to Source so NULL-source posts surface); artist_service date_row/ activity/post_count; provenance_service.for_image/for_post (LEFT JOIN); gallery_service._provenance_exists_where_artist via Post.artist_id instead of ImageProvenance.source_id → Source. - `_to_dict` and provenance dict-builders emit `"source": null` for NULL-source rows. ## Frontend - `ProvenancePanel.vue` + `PostCard.vue`: render `e.source?.platform ?? 'filesystem import'` so NULL-source posts get a clear "filesystem import" affordance instead of a NaN crash. ## Tests - `test_importer_upsert_helpers`: removed the four synthetic-anchor tests; added `_find_or_create_post_idempotent_with_null_source` (dedup via the partial unique index) and `_lookup_source_for_sidecar_returns_*` (existing-subscription + none cases). The existing `_find_or_create_post_idempotent` now also passes `artist_id` and asserts it. - 8 other test files updated: every direct `Post(...)` construction gains `artist_id=<artist>.id`. The `_seed_post` helper in `test_post_feed_service` looks up artist_id from the source row so callsites stay one-arg. ## Verification on deploy After alembic 0030 runs: - `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM source WHERE url LIKE 'sidecar:%'` → 0. - `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM post WHERE source_id IS NULL` → count of filesystem-imported posts (Dymkens + any other historical). - Every `post.artist_id` non-null; consistent with source.artist_id for source-bound rows. - Subscriptions tab: no Dymkens phantom row. - Artist detail → Posts/Gallery: Dymkens's content still reachable via Post.artist_id. - Provenance panel renders "filesystem import" chip for NULL-source posts; PostCard same. ## Out of scope - UI to manage/delete orphan NULL-source Posts. Data model is right; UI follows if operator wants it.
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
