Cutting a release fires BOTH the push-to-main workflow AND the push-to-tag workflow in parallel. main-push runs sign-extension (AMO round-trip 1-5min) then publishes the ext-<version> Forgejo release; tag-push skips sign-extension (gated to main) and races straight to build-web's Download XPI step. Tag-push lost every time — got 404 from releases/tags/ext-<version> before main-push had finished signing. v26.05.27.0 hit this: tag-push build-web died on exit 22 because the ext-1.0.4 release wasn't published yet (it arrived ~4min later). Fix: wrap the release lookup in a 20-iteration sleep+retry loop, 30s between attempts (10min total upper bound, generous for AMO). main-push's signing eventually publishes the release; tag-push picks it up on a later poll. No more manual rerun of the failed job after every release cut. Banked the trap as reference_tag_push_main_push_race.md — same shape will recur any time a tag-push workflow consumes a main-push-produced artifact.
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
