The native Patreon backfill flooded the feed with bare 'Post <id>' shells (1589 for Anduo). Root cause: PostAttachment.sha256 was GLOBALLY unique, so a non-art file reused across posts only ever linked to the first one, and _capture_attachment created the Post before that dedup check — leaving later posts with no image and no attachment. Duplicate IMAGES had the mirror gap: attach_in_place returned duplicate_hash/duplicate_phash before _apply_sidecar, so the second post got no provenance row, and the feed only rendered via primary_post_id (one post per image). Operator requirement: a duplicate item must show on EVERY post it appears in. Unify the fix as link-not-suppress: - importer: on duplicate_hash / duplicate_phash(larger_exists), append an image_provenance row for the new post (keep primary on the first). Both the download path (attach_in_place) and the filesystem path (_import_media). - post_feed_service: render thumbnails by image_provenance UNION primary_post_id, so a cross-posted image shows on every post (and legacy primary-only images still show). - PostAttachment: per-post uniqueness — drop UNIQUE(sha256), add partial UNIQUE(post_id, sha256) + partial UNIQUE(sha256) WHERE post_id IS NULL (migration 0043); _capture_attachment dedups per-(post,sha) over the shared sha-addressed blob, so no post is left bare. - cleanup: new prune-bare-posts maintenance action (cleanup_service _bare_post_conditions shared by preview/count/delete per preview/apply parity; admin endpoint; PostMaintenanceCard). Deletes posts with zero image links (primary or provenance) AND zero attachments. Run after the feed fix so a hidden provenance link spares the post instead of deleting it. Tests: dup image shows on both posts; dup attachment shows on both posts; feed renders provenance-linked duplicates; prune-bare delete-path == preview. Operator redeploys (migration 0043) then runs the prune to clear the shells. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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
