Phase 2 of #871: clean up the duplicate videos already in the library (the #859 "same video from multiple sources" clutter). Import-time dedup (Phase 1) only prevents NEW dups; this is the operator-triggered cleanup of existing ones. cleanup_service.dedup_videos(dry_run): - backfill_video_durations: re-probe NULL-duration videos (pre-#871 rows) so the existing library participates; idempotent (only NULL rows), writes a negative sentinel for un-probeable files so they're neither re-probed forever nor matched. - find_video_dup_groups: cluster same-artist videos by duration (±tol) + aspect, anchored per cluster to bound the span (no chain drift); keeper = highest pixel area then bytes. Reuses the importer's _VIDEO_DUP_* tolerances. - apply: re-point each loser's post links to the keeper (so no post loses the video) THEN delete the redundant records + files via delete_images (cascade). dry_run shares the same discovery predicate and returns the projection only (rule 93). Tags on a loser are NOT merged (noted; videos rarely hand-curated). - dedup_videos_task (maintenance queue; summary → task_run.metadata). - POST /maintenance/dedup-videos {dry_run} + GET /maintenance/task-result/<id> so the card shows the dry-run projection before the destructive apply. - VideoDedupCard: Preview → shows groups/redundant/reclaimable, then Apply behind a confirm dialog. Mounted in the Maintenance panel. Tests: dedup collapses + re-links the loser's post to the keeper + removes the file; dry-run deletes nothing; distinct durations aren't grouped; task registered. (Migration 0052 for duration_seconds already shipped with Phase 1.) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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
