Operator-flagged 2026-06-01: downloaded images stayed at thumbnail_path=NULL until a periodic backfill sweep picked them up, surfacing as broken-thumbnail tiles in the gallery for hours after the download landed. Importer.attach_in_place deliberately skips inline thumbnail generation (importer.py:591-592) so the import queue stays moving — the CALLING task is responsible for the enqueue. tasks/import_file.py already did this (line 228-239). tasks/download.py / download_service did not — every gallery-dl-attached image landed un-thumbnailed. Fix in download_service._phase3_persist: after each `attach_in_place` returning status in (imported, superseded), fan out `generate_thumbnail.delay()` + `tag_and_embed.delay()` for each image_id. Lazy import avoids circular-import risk between download_service and the celery task modules that depend on it. Mirrors the existing pattern verbatim — single source of truth for "what fires after a successful attach" remains a comment in two places (filesystem-import task, download orchestrator) rather than a shared helper, because the contexts differ enough (sync session vs async orchestrator) that abstracting would obscure more than it'd share. Test covers the happy-path with two attached files: both get the thumbnail enqueue AND the ML enqueue, with image_ids drawn from ImportResult (so future supersede-on-attach paths stay covered).
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
