The step the milestone exists for. sign-extension ungates from main-only to main-or-dev, and build-web downloads the XPI on dev as well, so a dev push produces an image carrying the extension that is being developed rather than requiring a merge to try one. Not two signatures. The version is the commit TIME of the newest packaged extension change, so dev and main derive the SAME number for the same source. A dev push that changes the extension signs it; the merge to main finds the ext-<version> release already there, hits the cache, and bundles the byte-identical XPI into :latest with no second AMO call. One signature per extension CHANGE, shared by both channels. That property is what makes two channels affordable at all, and it is why step 4 had to land first: ungating this while the version was still the hand-set 1.0.11 would have found the existing ext-1.0.11 release, skipped AMO, and bundled main's stale XPI into :dev — a dev channel confidently serving old code. Tags stay excluded. The tag path deliberately skips signing and polls for the release instead (the 2026-05-27 race). The ext-<version> release's target_commitish moves from the literal "main" to $GITHUB_SHA. Either branch can create that release now, and tagging a dev-signed XPI against a main commit that need not even contain the source it was built from is a lie that costs nothing to avoid. Known, not addressed here: two concurrent builds that both derive the same unsigned version will both call AMO and the loser gets a 409. The window already existed between main and tag pushes; dev signing widens it. It fails loudly rather than shipping anything wrong, and the rollback trap cleans up the empty release. Filed separately. Also unchanged here: ci.yml's manual-bump guard is still in place and still false. It does not fire on this commit — nothing packaged changed — but it will fail the lane on the next extension change, demanding a bump that no longer decides anything. Step 5 next.
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 main only, then bundled into the 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 guard, 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.
