A backfill chunk's time-box (BACKFILL_CHUNK_SECONDS=600) was only checked between POSTS, but download_post downloads ALL of one post's media synchronously — so a single media-heavy post could run the chunk far past 600s, all the way to the Celery soft time limit (1350s), where it was killed and finalized as error (Pocketacer, event #41330: ran the full 22.5 min). download_post now polls a should_stop() deadline BEFORE each media item and the engine passes `now - start >= time_budget_seconds`, so a heavy post stops at the budget and the remaining media (never marked seen) re-fetch next chunk. Bounds chunk overrun to one media download instead of one whole post. Also genericized the soft-limit salvage message — it claimed the "gallery-dl subprocess" failed, which is wrong for a native Patreon walk; it now describes the time-budget overrun + per-page checkpoint resume in platform-neutral terms.

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
