Three coupled operator-reported pains from the 2026-05-31 download event audit: 1. `[patreon][warning] Not allowed to view post N` was bubbling up as an error event, bumping consecutive_failures and parking the source in "needs attention." The classifier's tier-gated branch was gated on `return_code in (1, 4)`. Gallery-dl returns a different exit code for mixed-failure runs (e.g. paywall warnings + a missing yt-dlp dep flipping the exit bits), so the branch never fired and the path fell through to UNKNOWN_ERROR. Widen the gate: when no source-level error fired AND tier-gated warnings are present, classify as TIER_LIMITED regardless of return code. 2. Knuxy event #38275 (2026-05-31) ran 30 min and finalized with "stranded by recovery sweep (no terminal status after time_limit)" + empty stdout/stderr. Root cause: subprocess.run timeout (900s) and Celery soft_time_limit (900s) raced; when Celery won, SIGKILL wiped the in-memory captured output and the DownloadEvent ended up empty-logged 18 minutes later when the sweep finalized it. Drop gallery-dl's default subprocess timeout to 870s — a 30s margin shy of Celery's soft limit — so subprocess.TimeoutExpired always wins the race and captures the partial stdout/stderr via the existing handler. 3. `[downloader.ytdl][error] Cannot import yt-dlp or youtube-dl` was firing on every video attachment, causing per-item download failures that masked legitimate tier-gated classification. Add yt-dlp>=2025.1 to requirements.txt. Once it's in the image, video posts download normally and the per-item failure noise disappears. Tests added: - pure tier-gated stderr with exit code 128 → TIER_LIMITED + success - mixed tier-gated + yt-dlp + per-item failures → still TIER_LIMITED
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
