## Integration with Kiwix
The Kiwix deployment includes a torrent-sync sidecar that:
1. Reads ZIM torrent list from ConfigMap
2. Adds missing torrents via RPC
3. Runs on startup and every 30 minutes
When downloads complete, the zim-watcher CronJob detects new ZIMs and restarts Kiwix.
## Monitoring
2026-04-29 11:00:01 -07:00
A `transmission-exporter` sidecar (image `registry.ops.eblu.me/blumeops/transmission-exporter` ) scrapes the local RPC and exposes Prometheus metrics on port 19091. Uptime is also covered by a blackbox probe in [[alloy|Alloy]] k8s (Services Health dashboard).
