A media that fails every walk (404'd CDN, deleted post, geo-blocked Mux, persistently-corrupt bytes) used to re-error forever and re-burn chunks. New `patreon_failed_media` table (alembic 0038, chains 0037) records per-media attempts; once attempts reach DEAD_LETTER_THRESHOLD (3) the ingester skips it on routine tick/backfill walks (tier-1.5, folded into the seen/skip predicate). Recovery BYPASSES it (the operator's "try everything again" re-attempts dead media). A clean download clears the row (recovered); errors/quarantines upsert-increment it. Surfaced as run_stats.dead_lettered_count. - New PatreonFailedMedia model + migration; ingester _dead_keys / _record_failures (on_conflict increment) / _clear_failures. - skip = seen | dead (empty in recovery); failures recorded post-fetch on short sessions (same pattern as the seen-ledger). Tests: a media erroring 3× is dead-lettered + skipped (no download attempt); recovery re-attempts a dead media and clears it on success; a clean download clears a sub-threshold failure.

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
