Audit 2026-06-02: `_load_or_create_key` silently minted a new Fernet key whenever the key file was missing — no log, no warning. The failure mode the audit flagged: a partial disaster restore where the DB was restored but `/images/secrets/` was lost would produce a working-looking system in which every authenticated download fails AUTH_ERROR until the operator re-uploads every credential by hand. Two opt-ins now needed for auto-creation: 1. Explicit `bootstrap_ok=True` kwarg (tests, scripts), OR 2. `CURATOR_BOOTSTRAP_NEW_KEY=1` env var (operator first-time setup) Otherwise the constructor raises `MissingCredentialKey` so the app fails fast at startup and the operator can restore the key file from backup before encrypted_blob rows go undecryptable. Also: docstring path was wrong (said "images/data root" but actual location is `/images/secrets/credential_key.b64`) — corrected. Tests updated to pass `bootstrap_ok=True` explicitly, and two new tests cover the safety behavior (missing-key-raises, env-var-bootstraps).
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
