Near-static videos are the dominant GPU load: sampled into up to 64 frames, each re-runs the whole detect→CCIP→SigLIP chain on ~identical content. Add a CPU perceptual-hash frame dedup upstream of the GPU so the redundant frames are never processed at all (not just their embeds). - media.dedupe_frames() + _dhash(): 8×8 difference-hash (64-bit) per frame; greedy keep — a frame survives only if its hash differs from every kept frame by >= min_distance bits (Hamming). A static run collapses to one frame; genuinely distinct scenes all survive. Order + frame_time preserved. - Called in worker._download_decode right after sample_frames, so it runs in the decode stage on the downloader thread (CPU) — the GPU consumers only ever see deduped frames, and buffered video items shrink (less RAM too). - Env-tunable FRAME_DEDUPE_DISTANCE (default 8; higher keeps more frames for brief localized changes an 8×8 hash can miss; 0 disables). Logs `video frames N→M` when it drops any, so video load reduction is visible. Complements the spatial per-frame crop dedup (2026-07-01.2); this is the temporal axis. Build marker 2026-07-01.3.

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
