Operator-flagged 2026-05-28, two asks. **1. Provenance posts ate the panel.** Each post card rendered its full description (180px scroll box) inline, so a few posts pushed everything else off-screen. ProvenancePanel now collapses the description by default behind a per-post "Show description ▾ / Hide ▴" toggle (state keyed by provenance_id, reset when the viewed image changes). Cards stay compact — platform/date/title/meta/actions — and the operator expands only the descriptions they want. **2. Purge tags of retired/system kinds.** The IR migration left `archive`/`post`/`artist`-kind tags (e.g. `BlenderKnight:Hannah_BJ_Loops`) that FC no longer creates — the tag input only makes character/fandom/series/general, and provenance + artists are their own systems now. (meta/rating were already hard-deleted by alembic 0023.) - cleanup_service.purge_tags_by_kind(kinds=PURGEABLE_TAG_KINDS) — counts (dry_run) or deletes tags whose kind ∈ (archive, post, artist). CASCADE clears the image_tag / alias / allowlist / etc. rows. - POST /api/admin/tags/purge-retired-kinds (Tier-A, dry-run preview returns per-kind counts + sample names — the preview IS the verification of exactly what'll be deleted before committing). - Tag Maintenance card gets a second section: "Preview retired-kind tags" → per-kind breakdown + sample → "Delete N retired-kind tag(s)". Tests: dry-run counts by kind (general survives), commit deletes only the retired kinds (general + character survive, retired count → 0). NOTE: a dry-run preview will show exactly which kinds/counts are present. If the operator's noisy tags turn out to be `general` (e.g. an IR `source:patreon` that fell back to general during migration), they won't be caught by the kind purge — the preview makes that visible so we can decide on a name-based pass separately.
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
