Operator hit this 2026-05-25 after the IR tag_apply landed: ~57k images
all scanned into FC in the same week share image_record.created_at, so
the gallery timeline collapses them into a single month bucket and
scroll orders them all together at the top. Their actual publish dates
(spread over years) were already available in Post.post_date but the
gallery never read it.
Backend wire-up:
- tag_apply phase 4 now sets ImageRecord.primary_post_id when creating
ImageProvenance (only if currently NULL — preserves the canonical
download-time linkage set by the importer for new FC ingests).
- gallery_service.py introduces _effective_date_col() =
COALESCE(post.post_date, image_record.created_at), used in:
* scroll() ORDER BY + cursor WHERE clauses
* timeline() year/month group-by
* jump_cursor() year/month filter
* _neighbors() prev/next ordering
- Each method LEFT OUTER JOIN Post on primary_post_id so the COALESCE
works for images without a post (NULL on the Post side, fall back
to created_at).
- GalleryImage gains posted_at + effective_date fields; API /gallery
/scroll exposes both alongside the existing created_at so the UI
can render 'Posted on X (imported Y)' if desired.
- get_image_with_tags() returns posted_at for the modal.
Cursor format unchanged — the encoded datetime is now the effective_
date (whichever column won the COALESCE) and pagination remains
consistent.
To pick up new behavior for an already-migrated IR set: re-run
/api/migrate/tag_apply on the existing manifest (phase 4 is
idempotent; the new primary_post_id assignment backfills).

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
