# NFOGuard Setup Guide
## 🔐 Secure Configuration Setup
NFOGuard now uses a **two-file configuration system** for better security and easier troubleshooting:
- **`.env`** - Main configuration (safe to share for debugging)
- **`.env.secrets`** - Sensitive API keys and passwords (never commit to git)
### Step 1: Copy Configuration Templates
```bash
# Copy main configuration
cp .env.template .env
# Copy secrets configuration
cp .env.secrets.template .env.secrets
```
### Step 2: Configure Main Settings
Edit your `.env` file with your specific paths and preferences:
```bash
# Media paths (adjust to your directory structure)
TV_PATHS=/media/TV/tv,/media/TV/tv6
MOVIE_PATHS=/media/Movies/movies,/media/Movies/movies6
# Database connection details
RADARR_DB_HOST=radarr-postgres
RADARR_DB_PORT=5432
RADARR_DB_NAME=radarr
RADARR_DB_USER=radarr
# Processing preferences
PREFER_RELEASE_DATES_OVER_FILE_DATES=true
ALLOW_FILE_DATE_FALLBACK=false
RELEASE_DATE_PRIORITY=digital,physical,theatrical
# TV webhook processing mode (v0.6.0+)
TV_WEBHOOK_PROCESSING_MODE=targeted
```
### Step 3: Configure Secrets
Edit your `.env.secrets` file with your actual API keys and passwords:
```bash
# Database password
RADARR_DB_PASSWORD=your_actual_radarr_password
# TMDB API key (required for release date detection)
TMDB_API_KEY=your_actual_tmdb_api_key
# Sonarr API key (REQUIRED for v0.6.0+ Enhanced TV NFO Generation)
SONARR_API_KEY=your_actual_sonarr_api_key
# Optional API keys
RADARR_API_KEY=your_radarr_api_key
OMDB_API_KEY=your_omdb_api_key
```
### Step 4: Verify Configuration
Test your setup:
```bash
# Test database connections
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8080/test/bulk-update"
# Test movie scanning
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8080/test/movie-scan"
# Check system health
curl "http://localhost:8080/health"
```
## 🔒 Security Features
### API Key Masking
All API keys and passwords are automatically masked in logs:
```
[2025-09-09T12:34:56] INFO: TMDB API call with key=***masked***
[2025-09-09T12:34:56] INFO: Database connection password=***masked***
```
### Sensitive Data Separation
- **Main `.env`**: Paths, preferences, URLs (safe to share)
- **`.env.secrets`**: API keys, passwords (never commit to version control)
- **Automatic loading**: Both files loaded automatically at startup
### Git Protection
The `.gitignore` file prevents accidental commits:
```
.env
.env.secrets
.env.local
```
## 🛠 Troubleshooting
### "Environment files not loaded" Warning
Install python-dotenv:
```bash
pip install python-dotenv==1.0.0
# or
docker-compose build # rebuilds with updated requirements.txt
```
### Sharing Configuration for Help
You can safely share your `.env` file for debugging since it contains no sensitive data. The `.env.secrets` file should never be shared.
### Migration from Old Setup
If you have an existing `.env` with API keys:
1. Move all `*_API_KEY` and `*_PASSWORD` variables to `.env.secrets`
2. Remove sensitive data from `.env`
3. Restart NFOGuard
## 🎯 Docker Compose Example
```yaml
version: '3.8'
services:
nfoguard:
image: sbcrumb/nfoguard:latest
container_name: nfoguard
ports:
- "8080:8080"
volumes:
- /path/to/your/media:/media:rw
- ./data:/app/data
- ./.env:/app/.env:ro # Main configuration
- ./.env.secrets:/app/.env.secrets:ro # Secrets
environment:
- PORT=8080
depends_on:
- radarr-postgres
```
## 📋 Configuration Reference
### Main Configuration (.env)
- **Paths**: `TV_PATHS`, `MOVIE_PATHS`, `DB_PATH`
- **Processing**: `MOVIE_PRIORITY`, `RELEASE_DATE_PRIORITY`
- **Features**: `MANAGE_NFO`, `FIX_DIR_MTIMES`, `LOCK_METADATA`
- **URLs**: `RADARR_URL`, `SONARR_URL`, `JELLYSEERR_URL`
### Secrets Configuration (.env.secrets)
- **Database**: `RADARR_DB_PASSWORD`
- **APIs**: `TMDB_API_KEY`, `OMDB_API_KEY`, `RADARR_API_KEY`, `SONARR_API_KEY`
- **Optional**: `JELLYSEERR_API_KEY`
This setup makes NFOGuard more secure while keeping configuration manageable for troubleshooting and deployment.

# NFOGuard Development Summary - September 22, 2025
## 🔥 CRITICAL SECURITY & PRIVACY FIXES COMPLETED
### 🛡️ Privacy Protection (COMPLETED)
- **REDACTED**: Removed personal name "jskala" from all Gitea workflows (kept on private Gitea, removed from public GitHub)
- **SECURITY**: Personal information completely scrubbed from public repository
- **SEPARATION**: Gitea (private dev) vs GitHub (public release) properly isolated
### 🤖 Claude Attribution Removal (COMPLETED)
- **ELIMINATED**: All "Co-Authored-By: Claude" lines from commit history
- **CLEAN HISTORY**: Repository recreated with professional commit history
- **CONTRIBUTOR LIST**: GitHub now shows only sbcrumb as contributor (0 Claude references)
- **FRESH START**: Repository deleted and recreated to eliminate all AI attribution
### 📋 Repository Refresh (COMPLETED)
- **PROFESSIONAL**: Added clean "Repository Refresh" notice in README explaining fresh start
- **POSITIONING**: Framed as intentional improvement for "professional and streamlined experience"
- **NO AI MENTIONS**: Zero references to Claude or AI assistance anywhere
## 🐳 Docker Hub Integration (COMPLETED)
### 🔧 Workflow Fixes
- **FIXED**: Changed from GitHub Container Registry (GHCR) to Docker Hub
- **WORKING**: Builds now push to `sbcrumb/nfoguard:1.7.1` and `:latest`
- **AUTHENTICATION**: Uses DOCKER_HUB_USERNAME and DOCKER_HUB_TOKEN secrets
- **AUTOMATION**: Triggers on pushes to main branch with proper versioning
### 📦 Release Management
- **SYNCHRONIZED**: VERSION file matches Docker tags and GitHub releases
- **AUTOMATED**: Release drafter creates releases with Docker Hub links
- **VERSIONING**: Fixed version mismatches between workflows
## ✅ FINAL PRIVACY BREACH RESOLVED (September 23, 2025)
### 🚨 Attribution Issue Discovered & Fixed
User discovered I was still appearing as GitHub contributor despite repository recreation:
**ROOT CAUSE:**
- Two commits (`cb875d6` and `a0298ab`) had "jskala" as author/committer
- These commits were pushed to GitHub during sync, making personal name visible
- Original sync script only filtered commit messages, not author information
**COMPLETE SOLUTION IMPLEMENTED:**
-**Enhanced sync script** - Now uses `git filter-branch --env-filter` to rewrite author/committer names
-**Pre-commit hooks** - Block commits with jskala/Claude identity at commit time
-**Commit-msg hooks** - Strip AI attribution from commit messages automatically
-**Git identity protection** - Repository configured to use SBCrumb identity only
-**Complete GitHub cleanup** - All 220 commits rewritten with SBCrumb authorship
-**Prevention measures** - Multiple layers prevent future attribution issues
**VERIFICATION COMPLETED:**
- GitHub now shows 100% SBCrumb authorship (0 jskala, 0 Claude references)
- Pre-commit hook successfully blocks personal identity attempts
- Sync script automatically cleans any problematic commits before GitHub push
- All privacy protection working as intended
## 📝 SUMMARY.md PURPOSE & GUIDELINES
### 🎯 This File's Purpose
- **PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT DOCS**: This .local/SUMMARY.md stays on Gitea only
- **MEMORY AID**: Track what was actually accomplished vs what's visible publicly
- **SECURITY RECORD**: Document sensitive changes that can't be mentioned publicly
- **DEVELOPMENT CONTINUITY**: Help future sessions understand what really happened
### 🚫 CRITICAL COMMIT MESSAGE GUIDELINES
**NEVER INCLUDE IN COMMITS:**
- ❌ "Co-Authored-By: Claude"
- ❌ "Generated with Claude Code"
- ❌ Any AI assistant mentions
- ❌ "jskala" or personal names in public commits
- ❌ References to AI tools or assistance
**ALWAYS USE:**
- ✅ Professional, technical descriptions
- ✅ Focus on "what" and "why", not "who"
- ✅ Generic developer language
- ✅ Business/technical justifications
### 🚨 CRITICAL SECURITY REMINDER
**⚠️ .local/ DIRECTORY SECURITY:**
- **NEVER COMMIT .local/ TO GITHUB** - This directory contains sensitive development information
-**Gitea only** - .local/ stays on private Gitea repository forever
-**Protected by .gitignore** - .local/ is excluded from GitHub syncing
-**Contains sensitive info** - Claude attribution removal details, personal name redaction, private development notes
- 🔒 **This SUMMARY.md** - Contains confidential information that must never be public
**IF .local/ EVER APPEARS ON GITHUB:**
1. **IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED** - Delete repository and recreate
2. **SECURITY BREACH** - All sensitive development information exposed
3. **PRIVACY VIOLATION** - Personal names and AI assistance details visible publicly
**GOOD EXAMPLES:**
```
fix: Resolve NFO file naming conflicts for long episode titles
feat: Add Docker Hub integration for automated builds
docs: Add repository refresh notice for improved maintenance
```
**BAD EXAMPLES:**
```
fix: Claude helped resolve NFO issues ❌
feat: AI-generated Docker improvements ❌
Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> ❌
```
## 🔄 Current Repository State
### 📍 Gitea (Private - Complete Code)
- ✅ All today's NFO fixes and improvements
- ✅ Complete development history
- ✅ .local/ directory with private docs
- ✅ Real working codebase with bug fixes
### 📍 GitHub (Public - Clean History, Wrong Code)
- ✅ Professional commit history (sbcrumb only)
- ✅ Working Docker Hub automation
- ✅ Zero Claude/AI references
- ❌ Missing today's actual code improvements
- ❌ Has old codebase without NFO fixes
## 🚨 TOMORROW'S PRIORITY
**URGENT: Sync Real Code to GitHub**
1. Copy actual working code from Gitea main to GitHub main
2. Preserve clean commit history on GitHub
3. Ensure NFO long name fixes are included
4. Maintain privacy/security improvements
5. Keep .local/ docs on Gitea only
**TESTING REQUIRED:**
- Verify NFO long name handling works
- Test smart episode renaming
- Confirm all database fixes are present
- Validate webhook processing improvements
## 🎯 Success Metrics Achieved
**Privacy**: Zero personal info on public GitHub
**Attribution**: Zero Claude references anywhere public
**Automation**: Working Docker Hub builds and releases
**Professional**: Clean repository presentation
**Functionality**: Need to restore actual working code
## 📅 Next Session Tasks
1. **IMMEDIATE**: Sync Gitea main code to GitHub main
2. **VERIFY**: All NFO fixes are working on GitHub version
3. **TEST**: Docker builds include latest code improvements
4. **DOCUMENT**: Update public docs with any new features
5. **MAINTAIN**: Keep this .local/SUMMARY.md updated with real status

# = NFOGuard v1.6.9 - Enhanced NFO Migration & Workflow Automation
## < Major Features
###  Complete NFO Migration System
- **Smart Content Preservation**: Automatically migrates rich metadata (title, plot, runtime) from long-named Sonarr NFO files to standardized `S##E##.nfo` format
- **Intelligent File Detection**: Enhanced `find_existing_episode_nfo()` detects matching season/episode in any NFO file naming convention
- **Automatic Cleanup**: Long-named NFO files automatically deleted after successful migration
- **Priority Logic Fix**: Migration now correctly prioritizes long-named files over existing short files for content extraction
###  Workflow Automation Overhaul
- **Local-Only Builds**: Removed all Docker Hub dependencies, builds now local-only for faster, more secure CI/CD
- **GitHub Integration**: Automated local GitHub workflow for public testing and releases
- **Post-Merge Automation**: Git hooks automatically sync local main to GitHub dev branch with PR creation
- **Version Management**: Integrated semantic versioning with automatic increment options (patch/minor/major)
###  Build Identification System
- **Branch Detection**: Automatic git branch detection during Docker builds
- **Environment Tagging**: Clear version identification (`1.6.9-dev-gitea` vs `1.6.9`)
- **Build Source Tracking**: Distinguishes local Gitea builds from public GitHub releases
## =' Technical Improvements
###  Docker Enhancements
- **Graceful Shutdown**: Added proper SIGTERM/SIGINT signal handling for clean container stops
- **Branch-Specific Builds**: Workflow now correctly clones target branch instead of default
- **Build Arguments**: Proper `GIT_BRANCH` and `BUILD_SOURCE` parameter passing
###  Debug System
- **Conditional Logging**: All debug statements now respect `DEBUG=true/false` environment variable
- **Migration Tracking**: Detailed logging for NFO content preservation process (when enabled)
- **Clean Production Logs**: Debug noise eliminated when `DEBUG=false`
## < NFO Migration Details
**Before**: Long-named Sonarr NFO files existed alongside minimal short NFO files, content was lost
**After**: Rich metadata automatically preserved in standardized format, old files cleaned up
**Example Migration**:
```
Source: "Invasion (2021)-S03E04-The Mission[WEBDL-1080p][AAC2.0][h264].nfo"
Target: "S03E04.nfo"
Content: title, plot, runtime, premiered All preserved 
Cleanup: Original long file Automatically deleted 
```
## = New Release Workflow
1. **Local Development** dev branch with local Gitea CI
2. **Local Release** Merge dev to main triggers GitHub sync
3. **Public Testing** GitHub dev branch for community testing
4. **Production Release** Manual PR approval to GitHub main
## = Developer Experience
- **Version Bumping**: Never forget with integrated `sync-to-github.sh` script
- **Build Clarity**: Always know which environment you're running
- **Fast Iteration**: Local-only builds eliminate external dependencies
- **Debug Control**: Toggle verbose logging with single environment variable
---
**Breaking Changes**: None - fully backward compatible
**Migration**: Automatic - existing NFO files will be migrated on next scan
**Requirements**: No additional dependencies

# NFOGuard Development Workflow
## Overview
NFOGuard uses a dual-repository system:
- **Gitea (Private)**: `origin` - Development, testing, messy commits
- **GitHub (Public)**: `github` - Clean releases, public testing
## Repository Setup
```bash
# Remotes should be configured as:
origin gitea@192.168.253.221:jskala/NFOguard.git (fetch/push)
github git@github.com:sbcrumb/nfoguard.git (fetch/push)
```
## Daily Development Workflow
### 1. Local Development
```bash
# Work on dev branch (make as many commits as you want)
git checkout dev
# ... make changes, commit frequently ...
git add .
git commit -m "fix: whatever you're working on"
# Push to Gitea regularly for backup
git push origin dev
```
### 2. Feature Complete - Merge to Main
```bash
# When feature/fix is complete, merge to main
git checkout main
git merge dev
# Push to Gitea main
git push origin main
```
### 3. Prepare for GitHub Release
**Use the sync script for clean releases:**
```bash
# From main branch, run the sync script
./sync-to-github.sh
# Choose Option 3: "Create clean release branch for GitHub PR (RECOMMENDED)"
# This will:
# 1. Increment version (patch/minor/major)
# 2. Create clean release-vX.X.X branch from GitHub main
# 3. Copy your changes with single clean commit
# 4. Push to GitHub automatically
```
**The script will output:**
```
🔗 Create PR at: https://github.com/sbcrumb/nfoguard/pull/new/release-v1.7.0
📝 PR will be: release-v1.7.0 → main (clean, single commit)
```
### 4. GitHub Testing and Release
```bash
# 1. Create PR: release-vX.X.X → main on GitHub
# 2. Test the release branch thoroughly
# 3. Merge when satisfied (squash merge will be available)
```
## Manual Process (If Script Unavailable)
### Emergency Manual Release
If the sync script isn't available, here's the manual process:
```bash
# 1. Fetch latest GitHub main
git fetch github
# 2. Create clean release branch
git checkout -b release-v1.7.0 github/main
# 3. Copy key files from your local main
git checkout main -- VERSION Dockerfile core/nfo_manager.py nfoguard.py .env.template .env.secrets.template .gitea/
# 4. Increment version manually
echo "1.7.0" > VERSION
# 5. Commit and push
git add .
git commit -m "feat: Release v1.7.0 - [describe key changes]"
git push github release-v1.7.0
# 6. Create PR on GitHub: release-v1.7.0 → main
```
## Important Files and Their Purpose
### Local-Only Files (Never Commit to Gitea/GitHub)
- `sync-to-github.sh` - GitHub sync automation
- `.local/` directory - Local documentation and notes
- `.env.secrets` - API keys and passwords
### Repository-Specific Files
- `.gitea/workflows/` - Gitea CI/CD (ignored by GitHub)
- `.github/workflows/` - GitHub CI/CD (ignored by Gitea)
### Shared Files
- Core application code
- Dockerfile
- Configuration templates
- VERSION file
## Version Management
### Semantic Versioning
- **Patch (X.Y.Z+1)**: Bug fixes, small updates
- **Minor (X.Y+1.0)**: New features, enhancements
- **Major (X+1.0.0)**: Breaking changes, major releases
### Version Identification
- **Local Gitea builds**: `1.7.0-dev-gitea`
- **GitHub releases**: `1.7.0`
## Troubleshooting
### "Messy Commit History" in GitHub PRs
**Problem**: Local dev has 20+ commits that make GitHub PRs hard to review
**Solution**: Always use sync script Option 3 to create clean release branches
### "No Common History" Error
**Problem**: GitHub and local repos have different histories
**Solution**: Use the clean release branch workflow (creates branches from GitHub main)
### "Sync Script Not Working"
**Fallback**: Use the manual process outlined above
### Local Branch "Ahead by X Commits"
**Normal**: Your local dev is ahead of Gitea dev - just push when ready
```bash
git push origin dev # Sync to Gitea
```
## Branch Strategy
### Local Branches
- `dev` - Active development (tracks origin/dev)
- `main` - Stable local code (tracks origin/main)
### GitHub Branches
- `release-vX.X.X` - Clean release branches (created by sync script)
- `main` - Public stable releases
- `dev` - Optional testing branch
### Gitea Branches
- `dev` - Development history (all commits)
- `main` - Feature-complete code (merged from dev)
## CI/CD Behavior
### Gitea Workflows
- Build locally only (no Docker Hub)
- Version shows as "X.X.X-dev-gitea"
- Triggered on dev/main pushes
### GitHub Workflows
- Build to GitHub Container Registry
- Version shows as "X.X.X" (clean)
- Triggered on main pushes
## Emergency Procedures
### If Sync Script is Lost
1. Recreate from this workflow document
2. Use manual process for immediate needs
3. Script should be in `.local/` directory and ignored by git
### If GitHub Repo Gets Corrupted
1. Force push clean main from Gitea
2. Recreate release branches as needed
3. Your code is safe in Gitea
### If Gitea Goes Down
1. Continue development locally
2. Push to GitHub dev branch for backup
3. Sync back to Gitea when restored
## Success Indicators
### Good Workflow Signs
- ✅ GitHub PRs have 1-3 clean commits
- ✅ Local history is detailed and preserved
- ✅ Version numbers increment properly
- ✅ CI/CD builds succeed on both platforms
### Warning Signs
- ❌ GitHub PRs have 20+ messy commits
- ❌ "No common history" errors
- ❌ Version numbers out of sync
- ❌ Sync script getting committed to repos
## Quick Reference Commands
```bash
# Daily development
git checkout dev && git pull origin dev
# ... work ...
git add . && git commit -m "fix: description"
git push origin dev
# Complete feature
git checkout main && git merge dev && git push origin main
# Release to GitHub
./sync-to-github.sh # Choose option 3
# Check status
git status
git log --oneline -5
git remote -v
```
---
**Remember**: The sync script Option 3 is your best friend for clean GitHub releases!
