Noisebell

Monitors the door at Noisebridge and tells you whether it's open or closed.

A Raspberry Pi reads a magnetic sensor on the door and pushes state changes to a cache server. The cache keeps the latest state and fans updates out to chat integrations such as Discord and Zulip.

Layout

Directory What it is
pi/ Raspberry Pi OS base with laptop-built Noisebell deploy
remote/ Server-side services (cache, RSS, Discord, Zulip)
secrets/ Shared agenix-encrypted secrets and recipient rules

Each directory has its own README with setup and configuration details.

For hosted deployment, another repo such as ../extremist-software imports noisebell.nixosModules.default. That host repo provides deployment-specific values like domains, ports, and the Pi address, while the Noisebell module itself points agenix at the encrypted files in secrets/ and consumes the decrypted runtime files on the target machine.
