#739 — DB backups hung on NFS in uninterruptible D-state, defeating the 12-min subprocess timeout AND Celery's hard limit, so a stuck pg_dump held the concurrency-1 maintenance_long lane for hours — starving normalize_tags, re-extract, audits, and the new series rescan (which is why #740 "never applied"). Three fixes: - _run_bounded: Popen + bounded post-kill reap; if the child is unkillable (D-state) we stop waiting and re-raise TimeoutExpired, freeing the slot. The orphan is reaped by the OS once its syscall clears. - backup_db dumps to a LOCAL temp file then moves the finished .sql to the (NFS) _backups dir — pg_dump's long phase is now a DB-socket wait + local writes (killable) instead of an NFS write that hangs. backup_images keeps bounded-kill (too big to stage locally). - recover_stalled_backup_runs: split the stall window — db 40 min (was sharing images' 7h), so a hung DB backup is flipped to error promptly. #740 — Standardize tag casing showed "0 groups to change" the instant it was clicked: onNormCommit overwrote the preview with zeros. Keep the real preview visible and disable the button while queued; backend apply was already correct. Tests: fake subprocess.Popen alongside run; bounded-kill fail-fast; local-temp target; per-kind stall sweep. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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
