Operator-flagged 2026-05-27: subscribestar source check aborted with `AbortExtraction: HTTP redirect to .../age_confirmation_warning`. The captured `_personalization_id` cookie in the browser-stored file had expired (annual rotation), and the user could not realistically refresh it: SubscribeStar's frontend JS uses localStorage to suppress the age-confirmation popup once dismissed, so a logged-in revisit doesn't re-show the popup and the server-side cookie is never re-issued. gallery-dl's own login flow (which FC doesn't exercise — cookies come from the extension instead) sidesteps this by manually setting `18_plus_agreement_generic=true` on `.subscribestar.adult`. The server accepts that as the age-confirmation marker. `credential_service._augment_cookies(platform, netscape)` mirrors that behavior: when the materialized cookies file is for subscribestar and the age cookie isn't already present, append a synthetic line for `.subscribestar.adult` with name=`18_plus_agreement_generic` value=`true` and a far-future expiry. No-op for other platforms; no-op if the cookie is already present (idempotent for manual pastes / extension captures that happen to include it). Three new tests pin: (a) injection fires for subscribestar, preserves existing cookies; (b) idempotent when already present (no double injection); (c) does NOT fire for non-subscribestar platforms (Patreon etc. don't get a foreign-domain cookie). Not a curator handling bug per se — the extension faithfully captured what the browser had. This is mirroring a documented gallery-dl workaround so the cookies-via-extension auth path doesn't degrade as the server-side cookie expires.
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
