Test suite (the manual audit harness, now a real test):
- backend/apps/core/tests/test_security.py: 20 transactional tests across
guest visibility, object ownership, staged-upload/similarity privacy,
staff role boundaries, deletion rules, encrypted credentials, throttling
and the download allowlist. Uses temp media folders and clears cache.
Needs a one-time GRANT on test_j621 (documented in the module + README).
Images (deploy/J621-Frontend, deploy/J621-Backend, repo root as context):
- Frontend: node build -> static nginx with SPA fallback, asset caching and
an internal health endpoint.
- Backend: gunicorn + whitenoise (admin static collected at build), ffmpeg
for video thumbnails, migrations applied on start, GIT_HASH build arg so
the shell's version pill shows the commit.
Composes (distinct project names so they coexist with the dev stack):
- compose.yml (both), compose.frontend.yml, compose.backend.yml.
- A shared nginx proxy service is the only entry point (no host nginx, no
published host ports): /api,/admin,/static,/health -> backend, everything
else -> SPA; both upstreams resolve at request time so one config serves
all variants.
- A Tailscale sidecar per compose shares the nginx network namespace;
serve.default/frontend/backend.json use funnel ports 443 and 8443 only
(10000 is the remaining allowance) with ${TS_CERT_DOMAIN} substitution.
Registry: push_frontend.sh / push_backend.sh / push_all.sh build multi-arch
images and push :latest + :<sha> to the Gitea registry, following the
existing Packs-site pattern.
Docs: deploy/README.md + .env.example, ROADMAP section 6 updated,
AGENTS.md deployment and test notes.
Verified: all three composes validate, both nginx configs pass nginx -t,
both images build, the combined stack boots against real MariaDB/Redis
(migrations applied, /health ok, whitenoise serving admin static, env=prod,
git hash baked in), the proxy serves the SPA and routes /api, and
manage.py test apps.core.tests passes 20/20.

J621 Roadmap / To-Dos
Working list of what's still missing, roughly in priority order. Check items off as they land.
1. Library management
-
Duplicates engine
- Exact MD5 duplicate detection with grouped results
- Perceptual similarity (aHash, dHash, pHash, wHash) with threshold slider
and algorithm toggles (
imagehashserver-side) - Visual similarity groups: pagination, selection, delete and dismiss
-
Delete & storage page
- Storage overview (watched folder, media folder, temp)
- Delete by J-ID with preview grid and bulk selection (plus per-copy deletion of duplicate locations)
- Temp folder cleanup
-
Library search upgrades
- Search by tags (custom + e621 tags) with a Filename / Tags / Both selector
- Tag cloud in the sidebar (click to search, hidden from guests for blacklisted items)
- Status filter (matched / not_found / deleted / custom / unknown)
-
Ephemeral similarity check (
/similar)- Drop a file: exact MD5 match, perceptual matches against the library, and e621 IQDB candidates (auto-run for images)
- Nothing enters the library: temp files are wiped on startup, after
SIMILARITY_TTL_MINUTES(default 30), on demand and bymanage.py cleanup_similarity
2. e621 integration
- Download progress bar on the detail view
- Backend download task (status, progress %, downloaded/total bytes, speed)
- Progress endpoint the SPA polls; cancel support
- Frontend progress bar with speed and cancel on
/detail/<post> - The status footer's "Active Workers" now counts running download tasks
- Download to client — streams the e621 original straight to the browser (works for guests; host-restricted proxy, no library write)
- Match local files to e621
- Match by MD5 from the library detail, plus manual post ID linking (with an MD5-mismatch warning) and unlink
- Batch cache status for the whole library (
matched/not_found/deleted) via background scan tasks (/api/matches/) andmanage.py match_e621 - Show match status + e621 metadata in the library: status badge and
match card on the detail, and
not_found/deletedstatus filters
- IQDB reverse search
- Search from a local file (
POST /iqdb_queries.jsonfrom the library detail, using the signed raw file) - Show candidate posts to link (thumbnail, rating, score, favs, tags; select then confirm — same flow as uploads, exact MD5 marked)
- Search from a local file (
- Follows
- Follow tags from the
+on tag chips (online + library detail) and pools from the Follow button on a pool page (validated against e621, first feed fetched immediately) - Followed screens: cover cards (latest image), unseen badges and Mark seen per follow
- Merged newest-first feed with per-follow filter and unseen-only toggle
- Blacklisted-tag cloud built in a daemon thread, then polled (10 min TTL; the user's e621 blacklist, guest default as fallback)
- "Followed" nav entry
- Periodic sync commands:
sync_followed_tagsandsync_followed_pools(one e621 search per unique tag/pool)
- Follow tags from the
- Pools browser (
/pools+/pools/<id>)- Index search by name; category, active/deleted and sort filters; pagination according to the e621 OpenAPI spec
- Cover thumbnails from each pool's first post (one batched post call, blacklist-aware) and deleted-pool markers
- Pool detail: DText description, posts kept in pool order with chunked loading and in-library badges, blacklist reveal toggle, Follow button
Fshortcut to favorite a post (online detail), tag finder in the Ctrl+K palette (e621 tag suggestions with follow toggles, recent searches, and "search e621 for …")
3. Uploads & ingestion pipeline
Files now stage first and are resolved before entering the library.
- Backend staging storage
TempUploadmodel: user, md5, filename, temp path, status (pending/visual_match/completed/error), resolution- Files land in a temp folder first; only completed uploads move into the watched library folder
- Pending/upload list endpoint, file serving, discard endpoint
cleanup_temp_uploadscommand for old staged files
- Auto-upload / auto-match
- MD5 computed on staging; exact duplicates resolve immediately
- MD5 batch-checked against e621; matches auto-complete with post metadata stored and rating seeded
- IQDB similarity on upload (SPA-driven)
- Automatic + manual IQDB checks with candidate posts
- "Visual Similarity Detected" state with candidate picker
- Perceptual-hash comparison against the library (staged uploads are flagged with their library matches as soon as they land)
- Upload UI
- Three-column board: Pending & Unmatched / Visual Similarity Detected / Auto-uploaded & Indexed
- Metadata modal (link to e621 post, IQDB candidates, custom metadata)
- Per-file progress plus batch processing indicator
4. Staff tools
- Optimization modal (client-side, no server processing)
- Browser pipeline in a Web Worker: Mediabunny/WebCodecs for video (hardware-accelerated where available), jSquash (MozJPEG/OxiPNG/libwebp) for images, gifenc/gifuct-js + UPNG for GIF/APNG
- Options per file type: image quality/resolution; animation scale/fps/palette; video quality/resolution/codec/container/hardware preference (codec support detected per browser)
- Original vs processed previews with sizes and savings, progress bar with ETA and a "Processing the file…" state
- Apply overwrites the same J-ID:
POST /api/files/J-x/optimize/replaces the file(s) and recomputes MD5/size/perceptual hashes (409 when the result matches another item, 400 when it is identical) - Animated formats are detected by header (APNG
acTLchunk, WebPVP8Xflag), so APNGs keep their frames and animated WebP is refused with a notice instead of being flattened (browsers have no animated WebP encoder)
- Stats dashboard (
/stats, staff)- CPU / RAM / GPU / disk usage (
psutil+nvidia-smi; capacity bars follow the design system's 80% / 95% colour thresholds) - Active jobs list (downloads + match scans with progress) plus the recently finished ones
- Live log tail with level highlighting and an auto-scroll toggle
(root logging now also writes a rotating
backend/logs/j621.log)
- CPU / RAM / GPU / disk usage (
5. Shell & polish
- 18+ entry screen: an age check gates the app before anything renders
(remembered per browser in
localStorage) - Toasts for action results (success/error) plus a shared confirm dialog for destructive actions; form-field validation stays inline
- Mobile bottom sheets for metadata panels (<768px): detail asides (Library/Online/Similar) and long pool descriptions
- Profile pictures: staff Users page and a self-service Account picker (searchable library grid, remove supported) set avatars from library J-IDs
- Profile extras: per-user landing page, default rating filter/sort, items per page and thumbnail size (synced to the account, applied on load)
- Backend-less local mode: with no backend connected the SPA runs on the e621-facing pages only (Online, Pools) using credentials stored in the browser, and the shell offers a "Setup Backend" button instead
- Command palette: tag finder, recent searches, navigation commands (Ctrl+K / ⌘K, reachable from anywhere in the shell)
6. Infrastructure
- Guest blacklist refresh on a timer (in-container scheduler)
- Follow sync on a timer (in-container scheduler, e.g. every 30 minutes)
- Similarity temp cleanup on a timer (in-container scheduler; the TTL also cleans lazily when new checks are created)
- Production setup: two Docker images (SPA on static nginx, API on
gunicorn + whitenoise with ffmpeg) and three compose variants (both /
frontend-only / backend-only) behind a shared nginx proxy service, each
with a Tailscale sidecar and a funnel serve config (ports 443 / 8443 /
10000 only). Multi-arch images are pushed to the Gitea registry by
deploy/push_*.sh - Security/permission test suite (
manage.py test apps.core.tests): guest visibility, object ownership, upload/similarity privacy, role boundaries, deletion rules, encrypted credentials, throttling, SSRF allowlist - Broader automated tests (more backend API coverage + frontend components)
- Backfill e621 metadata for items downloaded before metadata was stored —
covered by the match scan (
/api/matches/scopeall, or per-item Recheck) andmanage.py match_e621 --scope all
Dependencies / notes
- Duplicates and upload visual-similarity share the perceptual hashing layer
(
imagehashserver-side; no external hashing service). - Download progress, optimization and the stats "Active Workers" count share the same task style; optimization itself runs in the browser (the home server is too weak for ffmpeg) and only the result is uploaded.
- IQDB and e621 matching depend on e621 credentials being configured; the SPA
talks to e621 directly for browsing, while the backend e621 client
(
apps/library/e621.py) handles metadata matching and batch scans. - Anything touching e621 endpoints follows the OpenAPI spec (https://e621.wiki/openapi.yaml) — see AGENTS.md for how to fetch and which response shapes to watch out for.
- Security review done (Aug 2026): permissions verified per role with a repeatable harness, e621 keys encrypted at rest, rate limits added and the download paths host-allowlisted. See AGENTS.md for the rules to keep.
