The single _FETCH_TIMEOUT=3000s meant different things per host: a TOTAL wall-clock for mega (subprocess), but only a per-read socket timeout for HTTP hosts (requests' timeout is the idle gap between bytes, never a total). So a stalled HTTP connection tied up a download-worker slot AND the per-host serialize lock for ~50 min before failing (operator-flagged 2026-06-17). Split into two limits in external_fetch: - read timeout (_READ_TIMEOUT=60s, with _CONNECT_TIMEOUT=30s) → requests gets (connect, read); a stalled socket now fails in ~60s. - total budget (_TOTAL_TIMEOUT=30min) → enforced as a wall-clock deadline across chunks in _stream_to_file (HTTP has no total-download timeout), and passed as the subprocess total for mega. fetch_external() signature: timeout= → read_timeout=/total_timeout=. gdrive (gdown) self-manages; the celery hard limit is the outer backstop. Also lowered the per-host lock TTL 3600→2400 so a worker that dies holding it can't wedge a host's links much past one fetch's budget. Each external link is already one Celery task (sweep enqueues one fetch_external_link.delay per link), so these budgets are per-link. Tests: total-budget-exceeded cleans the .part; HTTP gets (connect, read); mega gets the total. Worker fakes updated to **kwargs. 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
