Milestone #67 step 2. On the native core ingester the Post becomes the single authoritative record for body/links/metadata, captured once per post by the post-record; the per-media import only links image provenance + localization. Before: every per-media sidecar carried the full post body, so a post with N images wrote the body N+1 times (post-record + N media) — redundant on disk and a divergence risk (#753). gallery-dl is unchanged (its sidecar is still the only body source). - patreon_downloader: the per-media sidecar is now minimal — {category, id, source_url} only, no body. `_write_sidecar_data(minimal=True)` skips the body resolution + detail-fetch (the post-record, written first in the walk, already did it). Body no longer duplicated next to each image. - importer: new per-instance `post_first` flag (Importer is per-task). When set, `_apply_sidecar` still writes source_filehash + provenance + primary_post_id but SKIPS `_apply_post_fields` (the post-record owns body/links/raw_metadata, so applying a body-less sidecar would clobber raw_metadata + re-sync links off empty data). Default False keeps gallery-dl writing post fields. - download_service: `_phase3_persist` sets importer.post_first = uses_native_ingester(platform) — the future-proof seam, so a platform migrating onto the native core flips to post-first automatically (step 3). Media imports before post-records but both unify on external_post_id, so the post ends with its body either way. Tests: per-media sidecar is minimal + never hits the detail fetcher; attach post_first=True links provenance/localization but writes no post body/title; post_first=False (gallery-dl) still applies them.

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
