Additive and inert. Every build now stamps `fc.revision` as an image label, and a diagnostic step tries to read it back off the channel tag. Nothing downstream reads either yet — the reuse check still keys on the r-<rev> tag. The question step 3 has to answer before committing: can the reuse check be keyed on a LABEL read off the channel tag instead of on a separate tag? If it can, nothing is minted per build, the -main/-dev identity split disappears with CHANNELLED, and #3154's base-refresh clobber stops existing rather than needing a workaround. It also closes a defect found in what already shipped: r-<rev> tags do not match the registry's keep_pattern (#3157), so they are prunable, and a pruned identity tag silently costs a rebuild. A label cannot be pruned — it rides inside a tag that must exist. Three probes rather than one, because `--format` templating over .Image varies by buildx version and one round trip per guess is a poor trade. Two questions, answered at different times, and conflating them would abandon a working design: 1. Do the template mechanics work here? Answered on the first run — if the probes print a labels map, even an empty one, `--format` resolves on this buildx and this registry. That is the real gate. 2. Does a value round-trip? Only once an artifact genuinely rebuilds. This push touches build.yml, which is in no path set, so all three artifacts reuse and stamp nothing. Expect no values this run. That second point is the migration path rather than a defect: under the real mechanism "no label" reads as a MISS, so each artifact rebuilds once and is stamped from then on — one extra build per artifact, ever, in the safe direction. `imagetools create` cannot backfill it, since it copies a manifest and config labels are not manifest annotations.
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
In production. main is continuously deployed — every merge to main builds
and publishes :latest images, so whatever is on main is what is running.
Day-to-day work happens on dev, which publishes :dev images.
What's in here
Five deployable pieces, built by .forgejo/workflows/build.yml:
| Piece | Built from | Image | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Web / workers | Dockerfile |
fabledcurator |
Quart API + the built Vue SPA in one image. entrypoint.sh picks the role: web, worker, scheduler. The maintenance-long service is a second worker pinned to the long-running maintenance queue. |
| ML worker | Dockerfile.ml |
fabledcurator-ml |
Same app, plus requirements-ml.txt — tagging and embedding models that run in-container. |
| GPU agent | agent/Dockerfile |
fabledcurator-agent |
Optional desktop-GPU worker (agent/). Leases jobs over HTTP only — never touches the database or Redis. Run it for a burst, stop it to reclaim the card. See agent/README.md. |
| Firefox extension | extension/ |
signed XPI | MV3 extension: pushes platform session cookies into FC and adds a creator as a Source in one click. AMO-signed on both dev and main (one signature per extension change, shared by the two channels), bundled into that channel's web image and served from Settings → Maintenance. See extension/README.md. |
| Data | — | pgvector/pgvector:pg16, redis:7-alpine |
Postgres with pgvector for embeddings; Redis as the Celery broker. |
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)
The GPU agent is deployed separately, on the machine with the card —
agent/docker-compose.yml, not this stack.
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
Three workflows: ci.yml (lint, extension-version check, backend unit tests,
frontend build, integration), extension.yml (extension lint, vitest, XPI
content verification), and build.yml (sign + publish).
The toolchain each job runs in is its container.image, not its runs-on
label. runs-on: python-ci only schedules the job onto a runner; every job
then names the image it actually wants. ci-requirements.md is the current,
authoritative list of images and per-job installs — read that rather than a
copy here, so the two can't drift.
The repo expects one secret:
-
RELEASE_TOKEN— a Forgejo PAT with:write:package+read:package— fordocker pushtogit.fabledsword.comwrite:release— for theext-<version>releases that cache the signed XPIwrite:issue— for issue-management automation
Generate at https://git.fabledsword.com/user/settings/applications. The injected
GITHUB_TOKENcannot be used because it lackswrite:package.
AMO signing additionally needs MOZILLA_AMO_JWT_KEY / MOZILLA_AMO_JWT_SECRET; it runs on
main only and is cached per version, since AMO rejects a re-signed version.
