The gallery's newest/oldest sort keys off image_record.effective_date = COALESCE(primary post's post_date, created_at). The primary post is often the repost/download the file came from, so the grid led with download dates rather than when content was first posted (operator-flagged). Add a second materialized sort key, earliest_post_date = MIN(post_date) across ALL of an image's provenance posts (every post it appears in), else created_at — the original publish date. Mirrors the effective_date pattern so the sort stays a forward index scan. - alembic 0071: add earliest_post_date + index (DESC, id DESC); backfill created_at baseline then MIN over image_provenance ⋈ post. - importer: recompute earliest_post_date whenever a dated post is linked (MIN over the image's provenance, which now includes the just-added row). - gallery_service: new sorts posted_new / posted_old key off earliest_post_date; cursor + year/month grouping follow the active column transparently. - api: accept posted_new|posted_old; DEFAULT is now posted_new so the grid leads with original publish date. newest/oldest (effective_date) still available. - frontend: sort dropdown gains "Newest/Oldest post date" (default Newest post date); existing effective-date sorts relabelled "Newest/Oldest added". - tests: service test asserts posted_new/posted_old key off earliest_post_date; frontend default-sort omission test updated.

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
