The Status pill hung on "stopping" forever (operator-flagged 2026-07-01). Root cause: the backend had no lifecycle state — status() only returned running/stopped — so the UI FABRICATED "stopping" in JS as `!running && active>0`. That pill only cleared when the backend's `active` counter hit 0, but stop() (a) blocked the HTTP handler on lease-release calls to curator and (b) left `active>0` whenever a consumer wedged mid-submit/release to an overloaded curator → "stopping" that never resolved. Give the backend a real, truthful state it drives itself: stopped → starting → running → stopping → stopped - start(): → starting; a downloader flips it to running on its FIRST successful lease (so "running" means curator is actually answering, not just "Start was clicked"). If curator's down it honestly stays "starting". - stop(): → stopping; returns immediately (no handler block). A background monitor waits for the worker threads to actually exit, releases leases, then → stopped — bounded by STOPPING_TIMEOUT (20s) so a wedged submit can NEVER hold the UI in "stopping" again. In-flight work is handed back safely. - Buttons follow the real state (Start only from stopped; both disabled through the transition), so you can't fight a transition. - Log every Start/Stop button press (routes) and every transition (worker), so the Logs panel shows exactly what each button did. Frontend now trusts s.state (drops the active>0 hack); VERSION → .8. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <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
