TODO

1. Get storage

Order Hetzner Storage Box BX11 (1TB, €3.80/mo)
Note the address: u563838.your-storagebox.de
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:

{ 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

Cost

Storage Box BX11: €3.80/mo
