A 200-file bulk move is one long server-side copy+index chain per file, so the old single request sat on a spinner the whole time (and got uncomfortably close to the 120s proxy timeout). The modal now resolves the selection in chunks of 8: - footer switches to a progress bar with 'n moved / done / total / percent' while running, and the header explains that files are being indexed; - the rating pills, selection actions, grid and close button are locked while it runs so progress can't be lost by accident; - failures are collected with their filenames, the modal stays open for a summary, and 'Retry failed' re-selects only the files that are still pending; a clean run still auto-closes with a toast.
J621
Self-hosted media library and e621 archive manager, rebuilt as a React SPA + Django REST API.
Structure
backend/ Django 6 + DRF API (MariaDB + Redis via docker compose)
frontend/ Vite + React + TypeScript SPA
deploy/ Docker images, compose variants and Tailscale serve configs
extras/ shell integrations (fish_greeting with fastfetch)
Development
Backend
cd backend
source venv/bin/activate
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py scan_files # index the watched folder
python manage.py runserver
Copy .env.example to .env and set WATCHED_FOLDER before scanning.
Frontend
cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev # http://localhost:5173, proxies /api to :8000
Production
Docker: see deploy/ for the two images (SPA on static
nginx, API on gunicorn), the three compose variants (both / frontend-only /
backend-only) behind a shared nginx service and a Tailscale sidecar, and the
public-funnel or tailnet-only serve configs. deploy/push_*.sh builds and
pushes the multi-arch images to the Gitea registry.
Random image endpoint
Used by the SPA's Random page and by shell greetings (fish_greeting + fastfetch):
curl -H "Authorization: Token <token>" \
"https://j621.example.ts.net/api/random/?rating=s,q&fastfetch=1"
{
"j_id": "J-59",
"filename": "J-59.jpg",
"extension": "jpg",
"rating": "e",
"url": "https://j621.example.ts.net/api/files/J-59/raw/?sig=…",
"download_url": "https://j621.example.ts.net/api/files/J-59/raw/?sig=…&download=1",
"thumbnail_url": "https://j621.example.ts.net/api/files/J-59/thumbnail/?sig=…",
"fastfetch": true
}

Images are the only candidates in both modes.urlis absolute, and signed for authenticated callers, so fastfetch can load it without headers.

Behind the bundled nginx those aliases negotiate onAccept: browsers get the SPA page, requesters like curl/wget/fastfetch get the JSON./api/random/is the unambiguous path for scripts; 404 when nothing matches the filters.- A ready-made shell greeting that uses this endpoint lives in
extras/fish_greeting/. - Scoped tokens for scripts: the Account page's Shell tokens section
