Every web replica runs 'alembic upgrade head' in its entrypoint, so under docker stack deploy two replicas can boot at once and race the same DDL — 0040 raced in prod (operator-flagged 2026-06-07): one backend wedged on the series_page lock while a second tried to re-CREATE series_chapter, and the loser died with AdminShutdown, crash-looping the web service. Wrap run_migrations() in a transaction-scoped pg_advisory_xact_lock acquired BEFORE the version table is read. The first replica to reach it migrates and holds the lock for the whole upgrade; siblings block, then find the version already at head and apply nothing. Works regardless of replica count and needs no Swarm depends_on ordering (which stack deploy ignores anyway). 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
