Addresses operator reports: Stop never finishes, the agent polls curator constantly, and stale-cached pages get mistaken for a failed deploy. - Stop is prompt: flip _running BEFORE any lock so /status + worker loops see "stopped" immediately, and add a stop/shrink checkpoint in _process (after decode, before the expensive detect+embed) that releases the job and bails — so a Stop doesn't wait out heavy GPU work. - Lazy curator polling: the queue snapshot is fetched only while a browser is actually watching (a /status hit within UI_IDLE_GRACE) and on a 5s cadence, not a constant background loop. The work loop's own lease/submit is curator's only visitor otherwise — nothing polls just to poll. - Build marker: VERSION is embedded in the page and reported on /status; the UI shows a "reload" banner when they differ, so a browser-cached page can't be mistaken for "the new image didn't deploy" (complements the no-store header). CI: the lint lane now also `ruff check`s agent/ and compileall-parses it, so the GPU agent is linted + syntax-checked before its image builds (build.yml only `docker build`s it). Fixed the agent's pre-existing UP037/B905 so it passes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Ttrj5P7upUTueSfoJcxEqa
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
