Two operator-reported issues with the GPU agent: 1. Worker count flopped almost every cycle, spiking the GPU. The hill-climb probed +1, judged it over a too-short noisy throughput window, saw no clear gain and reverted -1 — every tick. Replace it with a GPU-utilization-band controller: HOLD while smoothed util sits in a healthy band, grow only on clear spare capacity (util below the low mark + VRAM headroom), shrink under saturation or memory pressure. Util is EWMA-smoothed and decisions are spaced (DECIDE_EVERY samples), so a noisy nvidia-smi reading can't move the pool. Load stays consistent instead of probe/reverting. 2. GPU util/VRAM bars only updated on manual refresh. They rode the /status poll, which blocks on the curator queue call (slow when curator is busy), so the meters froze between refreshes. Give them a dedicated /gpu endpoint (local nvidia-smi only, no curator round-trip) polled every 1.5s, and drop the curator queue-status timeout 15s -> 5s so /status itself stays snappy.

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
