The maintenance dropdown in Subscriptions → Downloads was wired to the
filesystem-import pipeline (POST /api/import/retry-failed +
POST /api/import/clear-stuck) — the subtitles even said so ("Re-enqueue
every failed import task"), but it was contextually misplaced. From the
Downloads view "Retry failed" queued nothing the operator could see
because the action operated on import_task rows, not download_event
rows. Import-pipeline maintenance is already reachable from Settings →
Imports (ImportTaskList.vue), so removing the import wiring loses
nothing.
Rewired:
- "Retry failed" → bulk-retries the failing-sources list, same loop as
FailingSourcesCard's RETRY ALL (sourcesStore.checkNow per source).
Subtitle now matches: "Re-queue every currently failing source".
- "Force recovery sweep" → triggers recover_stalled_download_events on
demand via a new POST /api/downloads/recover-stalled endpoint. The
sweep also runs every 5 min on Beat; this is the manual fallback so
the operator doesn't have to wait for the next tick to clear newly
stranded events.
MaintenanceMenu is now stateless — emits retry-failed and recover-
stalled. DownloadsTab owns the handlers (reuses the existing
onRetryAll; new onRecoverStalled with a delayed refresh so swept rows
land in the failing rollup).
Operator-flagged 2026-05-29 — "the retry failed button in the
maintenance dropdown doesn't appear to queue anything but manual
requeues works."

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
