Operator: the buttons fire but the status view doesn't reflect the change. Cause: act() ignored the POST's own status response and waited on the separate /status poll (which lags behind the curator queue call). Now: - act() applies the POST's returned status immediately for instant feedback, and shows an optimistic "starting"/"stopping" state (pulsing, buttons disabled) the moment it's clicked. - A stop that still has in-flight jobs draining shows "stopping" until active hits 0, then resolves to "stopped" on its own. - applyStatus() guards the /status-only fields (connection pill + queue) so the lean action response can't blank them — the Start/Stop path deliberately skips the slow curator call to stay snappy. Also de-duplicate GPU reads: read_gpu() now caches (1s TTL) with one probe at a time, and /status no longer spawns its own nvidia-smi — so the fast /gpu poll + autoscaler + /status share a single subprocess instead of piling up in the server thread pool (which was what made clicks feel dead under load).

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
