Two operator-flagged UX gaps from 2026-06-01: 1. **Esc trapped inside the tag-entry field** The autofocused TagAutocomplete input made Esc-to-close unreachable because ImageViewer's keydown handler bailed early on `isTextEntry(ev.target)` for every key including Escape. Now Escape closes the modal from text inputs too — except when a Vuetify overlay is open (FandomPicker, autocomplete dropdown, suggestion 3-dot menu), in which case that overlay's own Esc-handling fires instead of closing the whole modal mid-interaction. Detected via `.v-overlay--active`. Arrow keys still gate on isTextEntry so the tag input handles typing without navigating images. 2. **Provenance cards expanded the side panel unbounded** When an image had many ImageProvenance entries the cards stack pushed the Tags section below the fold. Wrapped the cards in a `.fc-prov__cards` container with max-height 270px (≈2.5 cards) and thin overflow scrollbar. Title stays anchored at top; Tags panel sits at a consistent position below regardless of provenance count.
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
