## TODO

### 1. Get storage
- [x] Order Hetzner Storage Box BX11 (1TB, €3.80/mo)
- [x] Note the address: `u563838.your-storagebox.de`
- [x] Enable Samba/CIFS + external reachability
- [ ] Create agenix secret with credentials (`username=u563838\npassword=...`)

### 2. Deploy the module
- [ ] Add `noisepics` flake input to `extremist-software/flake.nix`
- [ ] Add `inputs.noisepics.nixosModules.default` to the modules list
- [ ] Create `modules/noisepics.nix` in extremist-software:
  ```nix
  { config, inputs, ... }:
  {
    services.noisepics = {
      enable = true;
      domain = "noisepics.extremist.software";
      storagebox = {
        enable = true;
        address = "u563838.your-storagebox.de";
        credentialsFile = config.age.secrets.noisepics-storagebox.path;
      };
    };

    age.secrets.noisepics-storagebox = {
      file = ../secrets/noisepics-storagebox.age;
      mode = "0400";
    };
  }
  ```
- [ ] Add DNS record: `noisepics.extremist.software` → VPS IP
- [ ] Deploy with `nhs`

### 3. Import existing photos
- [ ] Mount storage box locally via Samba and copy photos in
- [ ] Use Piwigo's admin sync to pick them up
- [ ] Import `photos/metadata.json` tags/descriptions via Piwigo API

### 4. Configure Piwigo
- [ ] Complete web setup wizard (DB: `piwigo` on localhost socket)
- [ ] Enable community uploads (Community plugin)
- [ ] Set up guest browsing (no login to view)
- [ ] Set Creative Commons licensing in gallery config
