An artist first downloaded by gallery-dl gets Post rows keyed by the per-
attachment id; a later native walk keys the SAME real post by the post id. They
never dedup (uq_post_source_external_id is on external_post_id) → duplicate post
rows (cheunart: 943→1109). The real post id is recoverable in-DB from
raw_metadata['post_id'] (both eras store the sidecar there).
reconcile_duplicate_posts (cleanup_service): group posts by (source_id, canonical
post_id = raw_metadata.post_id else external_post_id); for each group >1, keep the
row already keyed by the post id (the format the CURRENT native downloader
produces, so future walks dedup and this can't recur), re-point
ImageRecord.primary_post_id / ImageProvenance / PostAttachment / ExternalLink onto
it conflict-safe (drop the loser's row where the keeper already has the equivalent,
per each table's uniqueness), backfill the keeper's empty date/title/body/raw_meta
from a loser, set external_post_id=post_id + derive post_url, delete losers.
IMAGES ARE NOT TOUCHED (content-addressed/deduped already; operator-confirmed).
Preview/apply share find_duplicate_post_groups (rule 93). API
/api/admin/posts/reconcile-duplicates (dry_run→{groups,posts_to_merge,sample};
apply→{groups,merged,sample}; optional source_id). UI: a second section on
PostMaintenanceCard (preview groups+sample → confirm merge). Tests: merge +
metadata backfill + image move, no-op when unique, provenance-collision dedup.
Design: milestone #73. Forensics: note #917. Out of scope (flagged): cheunart vs
Cheunart case-variant artist dirs/rows.

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
