# Pi
Rust service and NixOS config for the Raspberry Pi at Noisebridge. Reads a magnetic door sensor via GPIO, serves the current state over HTTP, and pushes changes to the cache service.
Runs NixOS with Tailscale for remote access and agenix for secrets.
## How it works
The service watches a GPIO pin for rising/falling edges with a configurable debounce. When the door state changes, it:
1. Updates in-memory state (atomics)
2. POSTs `{"status": "open", "timestamp": ...}` to the cache service with a Bearer token
3. Retries with exponential backoff on failure
On startup it also syncs the initial state.
## Setup
### Prerequisites
If you're building on an x86_64 machine, you need binfmt emulation for aarch64. On NixOS, add this to your system config and rebuild:
```nix
boot.binfmt.emulatedSystems = [ "aarch64-linux" ];
```
### 1. Flash the SD card
```sh
nix build .#nixosConfigurations.bootstrap.config.system.build.sdImage
dd if=result/sd-image/*.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress
```
Boot the Pi. It connects to the Noisebridge WiFi automatically and is discoverable via mDNS as `noisebridge-pi.local`.
### 2. Find the Pi
```sh
ping noisebridge-pi.local
```
### 3. SSH host key
Grab the key and add it to `secrets/secrets.nix`:
```sh
ssh-keyscan noisebridge-pi.local 2>/dev/null | grep ed25519
```
```nix
# secrets/secrets.nix
let
pi = "ssh-ed25519 AAAA...";
in
{
"api-key.age".publicKeys = [ pi ];
"inbound-api-key.age".publicKeys = [ pi ];
"tailscale-auth-key.age".publicKeys = [ pi ];
}
```
### 4. Create secrets
```sh
cd secrets
agenix -e api-key.age # key for POSTing to the cache
agenix -e inbound-api-key.age # key the cache uses to poll us
agenix -e tailscale-auth-key.age # tailscale auth key
```
### 5. SSH access
Add your public key to `configuration.nix`:
```nix
users.users.root.openssh.authorizedKeys.keys = [
"ssh-ed25519 AAAA..."
];
```
### 6. Deploy
```sh
nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#pi --target-host root@noisebell
```
## Configuration
Options under `services.noisebell` in `flake.nix`:
| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `endpointUrl` | required | Webhook URL to POST state changes to |
| `apiKeyFile` | required | Outbound API key file (agenix secret) |
| `inboundApiKeyFile` | required | Inbound API key file for GET auth |
| `gpioPin` | `17` | GPIO pin number |
| `debounceSecs` | `5` | Debounce delay in seconds |
| `port` | `8080` | HTTP server port |
| `retryAttempts` | `3` | Webhook retry count |
| `retryBaseDelaySecs` | `1` | Exponential backoff base delay |
| `httpTimeoutSecs` | `10` | Outbound request timeout |
| `bindAddress` | `0.0.0.0` | HTTP bind address |
| `activeLow` | `true` | Low GPIO = door open (depends on wiring) |
| `restartDelaySecs` | `5` | systemd restart delay on failure |
| `watchdogSecs` | `30` | systemd watchdog timeout |
## API
All endpoints require `Authorization: Bearer <token>`.
**`GET /`** — door state
```json
{"status": "open", "timestamp": 1710000000}
```
