Videos deduped on sha256 only (pHash is images-only), so a different encode/remux of the same clip imported as a distinct record — the "same video from multiple sources" clutter surfaced by #859. Tier-1 metadata fingerprint: identity = container duration (±1.0s) + matching aspect ratio, scoped to the same artist; quality axis = pixel dimensions (mirrors image pHash: larger_exists→skip+link, smaller_exists→supersede). Codec/bitrate are deliberately NOT part of identity (the point is matching across re-encodes). Tight tolerances because a wrong video merge is destructive. - image_record.duration_seconds (Float, nullable; migration 0052). NULL for images. - safe_probe.probe_video also reads format=duration (one extra ffprobe field on the call that already runs); ProbeResult.duration. - _find_similar_video(duration,w,h,artist) shared by both import pipelines. - _import_media (filesystem/archive path): captures duration, video near-dup branch, persists duration. - attach_in_place (download path — handles #859's videos, previously didn't probe video at all): best-effort probe for dims+duration (LENIENT — never newly rejects a downloaded video on probe failure), video near-dup branch, persists duration. - _supersede carries duration onto the kept row. Reuses SkipReason.duplicate_phash so the existing download/external dup-cleanup (path-safe unlink, #859) applies unchanged. Tests: skip-smaller, supersede-larger (+ duration adopted), and distinct-durations-not-merged (false-merge guard). Follow-up (Phase 2, #871): a backfill to re-probe NULL-duration existing videos so the current library participates in dedup; retroactive merge of existing dups is a separate destructive maintenance action.

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
