tasks/external.py drives the external_link ledger: - fetch_external_link(link_id): atomic claim (pending/failed→downloading, so a duplicate enqueue no-ops), per-host Redis serialize lock (#720 pattern; requeue-with-countdown if busy), fetch via external_fetch into the artist library tree, then route each file through importer.attach_in_place via a synthesized sidecar so it links to the SAME post (archive→ImageRecords, else→PostAttachment; on-disk original removed for captured files, art stays); thumbnail+ML enqueue for new images; status downloaded | failed | dead with attempts/last_error/completed_at/duration. - sweep_external_links(): enqueue a bounded batch of actionable links. - recover_external_links() + prune_external_links(): recovery + retention (#89). - per-host enable read via getattr (forward-compatible; Settings UI adds the columns in 4d — defaults on, rule #26). Wiring: celery include + route (download lane) + beat (sweep 10m, recover + prune daily); download_service phase 3 enqueues a sweep after recording links. Integration tests: download+attach, failure, dead-letter, non-claimable, sweep. mega still needs the MEGAcmd binary in the runtime image (Phase 4c). Refs #830.

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
