Grimmory package and service

Development
1

Hey all.

I’ve been using Grimmory (and previously Booklore) for a while. I love it, and it’s worked pretty good as a compose2nix authored Podman service for me. I saw the other day that a project Nix Podman Stacks now supports that out of the box. It seems pretty cool!

But I figured it would be nicer, and maybe interest some people to have it as a package, flake, and module. I’ve developed one here with assistance from an LLM. I understand and have read the code though, and there were a couple choices worth noting:

  1. This requires a password file for the database. I’m used to sops and I see password files for a lot of services so I thought it would be a good idea to require one.
  2. Grimmory looks for a MariaDB instance locally on port 3306 and the nixos module uses lib.mkDefault for setting both the bind-address and the port if you choose the database.createLocally option for the service (this defaults to true)
  3. Out of the box this has no reverse proxy or tls config, I leave it up to the users to deal with that.

Always open to thoughts and critiques.
