Erich Blume 278f231563 Switch to title-based wiki-links (Quartz resolves via frontmatter title and aliases)
- Remove aliases from all zk cards to prevent them from capturing wiki-links
- Convert all wiki-links from [[filename|Title]] to [[Title]] format
- Replace doc-filenames task with doc-titles for duplicate detection
- Update pre-commit hook to use doc-titles

Wiki-links now resolve to reference docs by their frontmatter title,
which is more readable and maintainable than filename-based links.

Transmission

BitTorrent daemon, primarily for downloading ZIM archives for Kiwix.

Property Value
URL https://torrent.ops.eblu.me

Namespace torrent
Image lscr.io/linuxserver/transmission:latest
Storage NFS PVC from [[Sifaka NAS

Storage Layout

NFS share on sifaka (/volume1/torrents):

Path Purpose
/downloads/ Active downloads and metadata
/downloads/complete/ Completed downloads
/config/ Transmission configuration
/watch/ Watch directory for .torrent files

Kiwix reads from /downloads/complete/ to serve ZIM archives.

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

Basic uptime via blackbox probe in Grafana Alloy k8s (Services Health dashboard).

Web UI shows: active/seeding/paused counts, speeds, disk usage.
