Large Patreon creators (Anduo: weekly 50-120-image Reports back months = thousands of files) couldn't backfill: each run re-walked newest→oldest from the top, and gallery-dl's polite ~0.75s/request HEAD walk alone exceeded the 1170s subprocess budget, so the run died during enumeration with 0 files written and NO forward progress — re-stranding every time (event #40411). Checkpoint gallery-dl's pagination cursor so each backfill window advances the frontier: - gallery_dl.py: SourceConfig.resume_cursor; _build_config_for_source sets extractor.patreon.cursor=<resume> (PLATFORM_DEFAULTS leave log-only True for a fresh run); parse_last_cursor() pulls the last emitted 'Cursor: <token>' from stdout+stderr — survives a timed-out run since the TimeoutExpired path returns partial output. - download_service.py: phase2 stays in BACKFILL mode while a cursor is pending (even after the run budget drains) and threads resume_cursor; _apply_backfill_lifecycle() checkpoints the advancing cursor each non-completing run, completes on a clean rc=0 finish (walk reached bottom), and a stuck-guard clears the cursor after 2 non-advancing runs so a wedged walk can't re-strand forever. patreon-only (sole platform with a resumable cursor); other platforms keep the simple counter semantics. Cursor state lives in config_overrides JSON (patreon_campaign_id precedent) — no migration. Time-budget ladder (1170/1350/1500) unchanged. Plan #689.

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
