Replace the Python seam-carving library with caire (esimov/caire v1.5.0),
a Go-based content-aware resize engine that is faster and supports both
shrinking and enlarging via seam insertion.
- Add Go builder stage in Dockerfile to compile caire from source
- Rewrite seam-carving.ts to call caire via execFile (no Python sidecar)
- Remove content-aware-resize from PYTHON_SIDECAR_TOOLS (60s timeout)
- Add new options: blur radius, edge sensitivity, square mode, face detection
- Move content-aware toggle below standard resize in UI (subtler placement)
- Rename "Don't enlarge" to "Limit to original size" with hover tooltip
- Add smooth progress bar for medium-duration tools
- Delete seam_carve.py and remove seam-carving pip dependency
- Update integration tests and visual regression screenshots
Merge CPU, CUDA, and lite Docker images into a single unified image.
One tag (latest) works on all platforms: amd64 (NVIDIA CUDA) and arm64 (CPU).
GPU auto-detected at runtime. All ML models and packages baked in.
Key changes:
- Platform-conditional Dockerfile (nvidia/cuda on amd64, node on arm64)
- tini as PID 1 for proper signal handling
- Fix FILES_STORAGE_PATH data loss bug
- Fix RealESRGAN upscaler (was broken, always fell back to Lanczos)
- Fix PaddleOCR language codes and stdout corruption
- Simplified CI/CD (single build, single tag)
- Expanded model pre-download with verification
- Shutdown timeout, improved health endpoint
- Remove unused lama-cleaner
Add a :cuda Docker image tag that auto-detects NVIDIA GPU at runtime
and falls back gracefully to CPU. Same pattern as Immich.
- New gpu.py shared utility for cached CUDA detection
- Background removal (rembg): pass CUDAExecutionProvider to ONNX Runtime
- Upscaling (Real-ESRGAN): use CUDA device + FP16 when GPU available
- OCR (PaddleOCR): enable use_gpu when CUDA detected
- Dispatcher reports GPU status at startup via readiness signal
- Admin health endpoint exposes GPU availability
- Dockerfile uses ARG GPU=false with conditional NVIDIA CUDA base image
- docker-compose.gpu.yml override for GPU users
- CI/CD workflows build and publish :cuda tag (amd64 only)
Three tags: :latest (CPU), :lite (no AI), :cuda (GPU with CPU fallback)
