fix: display new password after admin password reset

- show-admin-credentials.js --reset now displays the generated password
  instead of just saying "[NEWLY RESET - stored in database]"
- Also sets must_change_password flag to force password change on login
- Updated DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md and SIMPLE_SETUP.md to clarify that the
  new password is displayed in console output after reset

The production compose file uses:
- **Backend**: `ghcr.io/the-luap/picpeak/backend:latest`
- **Frontend**: `ghcr.io/the-luap/picpeak/frontend:latest`
Available image tags: `latest` (stable), `main`, `develop`, `v1.0.0` (version tags)
Available tags:
- `latest` - Latest stable release
- `main` - Latest main branch build
- `develop` - Development branch (may be unstable)
- `v1.0.0` - Specific version tags

## 🚀 Quick Start
### Method 1: Using Pre-built Images (Fastest)
1. **Clone the repository for configs**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/the-luap/picpeak.git
cd picpeak
```
2. **Set up environment**
```bash
cp .env.example .env
nano .env # Edit with your values
```
3. **Create required directories**
```bash
mkdir -p events/active events/archived data logs backup storage
chmod -R 755 events data logs backup storage
```
4. **Deploy using pre-built images**
```bash
docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml up -d
```
5. **Check logs**
```bash
docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml logs -f
```
## External Media Library
PicPeak can reference an existing, readonly media library mounted into the backend container. This avoids copying originals into PicPeak storage.
- Map your host library path to the container as readonly in `docker-compose.production.yml`:
- Add volume under `backend`: `- ${EXTERNAL_MEDIA}:/external-media:ro`
- Add backend env: `EXTERNAL_MEDIA_ROOT=/external-media`
- In `.env`, set:
- `EXTERNAL_MEDIA=/mnt/photos` (example host path)
- `EXTERNAL_MEDIA_ROOT=/external-media`
Usage:
- In Admin → Events, set “Source Mode” to “Reference (external folder)”, select a folder under `/external-media`, then import to index and generate thumbnails. Originals stay in your library.
Backups and Archives:
- Backups only include data under `STORAGE_PATH` and exclude external originals. The backup manifest includes `metadata.external_references = { excluded: true, events: N, photos: M }` and the Admin UI surfaces a warning.
- Archiving reference events creates a manifestonly ZIP and deletes thumbnails for that event. External originals are never moved or deleted.
Local (npm) setup (no Docker):
1. Create or choose a folder that contains your external originals, e.g. `/Users/you/Pictures/picpeak-external` (macOS/Linux) or `C:\\Pictures\\picpeak-external` (Windows).
2. In `backend/.env` (or your shell), set:
- `EXTERNAL_MEDIA_ROOT=/absolute/path/to/picpeak-external`
- Ensure `STORAGE_PATH` points to your PicPeak storage (defaults to `./storage`).
3. Start services from source:
- Backend: `cd backend && npm install && npm run migrate && JWT_SECRET=... npm start`
- Frontend: `cd frontend && npm install && npm run dev` (or build + serve)
4. In Admin → Events:
- Create an event, set “Source Mode” to “Reference (external folder)”.
- Use the folder picker to browse under your `EXTERNAL_MEDIA_ROOT` and select the subfolder to reference.
- Click “Import from selected folder” to index files and generate thumbnails on demand.
Notes:
- PicPeak only reads from `EXTERNAL_MEDIA_ROOT`; it never modifies or deletes your originals there.
- Thumbnails are generated under `STORAGE_PATH/thumbnails` and are included in backups; originals in `EXTERNAL_MEDIA_ROOT` are excluded.
- On Windows, use absolute paths (e.g., `C:\\Photos\\Library`) for `EXTERNAL_MEDIA_ROOT`.
### Method 2: Building from Source
1. **Clone the repository**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/the-luap/picpeak.git
cd picpeak
```
2. **Set up environment**
```bash
cp .env.example .env
nano .env # Edit with your values
```
3. **Create required directories**
```bash
mkdir -p events/active events/archived data logs backup storage
chmod -R 755 events data logs backup storage
```
4. **Build and deploy**
```bash
docker compose build
docker compose up -d
```
5. **Check logs**
```bash
docker compose logs -f
```

> **Note:** When using `--reset`, the new password will be displayed in the console output. Save it immediately - it will not be shown again!
#### Important Security Notes
- **Login requires the email address**, not username
- The admin password is only displayed once during initial setup
- When resetting password, the new password is displayed once in the console - save it immediately
- **Password change is MANDATORY** on first login - the system will force you to change it
- If you lose the password before first login, use the `--reset` option to generate a new one
- New password requirements: minimum 12 characters, mixed case, numbers, and special characters
