The scan tick (scan.py:_tick_due_sources_async) inserts DownloadEvent(status='pending') and fires download_source.delay(). If the task dies before finalizing the event — worker OOM/SIGKILL, lost task, or a gallery-dl that didn't unwind on the 1200s hard time_limit — the event stays in-flight forever. Every later tick then skips the source via the in-flight guard (scan.py:168), so Source.last_checked_at is never written and the operator sees "last check never" in the Subscriptions health column, permanently. cleanup_old_download_events only prunes terminal events (by design); no existing sweep covered the pending/running case. Operator confirmed 2026-05-29 with a diagnostic query: all 43 "never checked" sources were stranded behind stale in-flight events (eligible_stuck_inflight = 43, every other bucket zero). New recover_stalled_download_events task (Beat every 5 min): - Flips DownloadEvent rows pending/running > 30 min (10 min past the download_source 1200s hard kill, so legitimately-running tasks are never touched) to status='error' with a sentinel message. - Bumps each affected Source's consecutive_failures ONCE per source — backoff is 2^N on that counter so per-event bumps would needlessly inflate the next interval — sets last_error, stamps last_checked_at. UPDATE...RETURNING source_id avoids a SELECT-then-UPDATE-WHERE-IN that would hit the psycopg 65535-param ceiling on a large strand pile. Net: the 43 currently-stranded sources unstick on the first sweep after deploy, their health dots flip amber instead of unchecked, and the next scan tick re-queues 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
