Erich Blume a45a78b478 Convert wiki-links to title-based format (#89) 
## Summary
- Add `doc-card-titles` mise task to enumerate all doc cards by title/id and detect duplicates
- Remove redundant aliases from zk cards where alias matched the id
- Rename `reference/storage/postgresql.md` title to "PostgreSQL Storage" to avoid duplicate with `reference/services/postgresql.md`
- Convert all 175 path-based wiki-links `[[reference/path|Title]]` to title-based `[[Title]]` format
- Add pre-commit hook to check for duplicate card titles on doc changes

## Deployment and Testing
- [x] Pre-commit hooks pass
- [x] `mise run doc-card-titles` shows no duplicates
- [ ] Verify wiki-links work correctly in Quartz build

Jellyfin Management Log

Jellyfin is a free, open-source media server running natively on indri for full VideoToolbox hardware transcoding support.

Service Details

  • URL: https://jellyfin.ops.eblu.me
  • Port: 8096 (localhost only, proxied via Caddy)
  • Data directory: ~/Library/Application Support/jellyfin
  • Media path: /Volumes/allisonflix (NFS from sifaka)
  • LaunchAgent: mcquack.jellyfin

Useful Commands

# Check LaunchAgent status
ssh indri 'launchctl list | grep jellyfin'

# View logs
ssh indri 'tail -f ~/Library/Logs/mcquack.jellyfin.err.log'

# Check port is listening
ssh indri 'lsof -nP -iTCP:8096 -sTCP:LISTEN'

# Restart Jellyfin
ssh indri 'launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/mcquack.jellyfin.plist && launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/mcquack.jellyfin.plist'

# Check metrics
ssh indri 'cat /opt/homebrew/var/node_exporter/textfile/jellyfin.prom'

Hardware Transcoding

Jellyfin uses Apple VideoToolbox for hardware-accelerated transcoding on the M1 Mac Mini.

Capabilities:

  • H.264 encode/decode: Hardware
  • HEVC (H.265) encode/decode: Hardware
  • AV1 decode: Software only (requires M3+)
  • HDR to SDR tone mapping: VPP (hardware)
  • Concurrent 4K streams: ~3 with HDR tonemapping

Configuration (Dashboard > Playback):

  1. Hardware Acceleration: Apple VideoToolbox
  2. Allow hardware encoding: Enabled
  3. VPP Tone mapping: Enabled (for HDR to SDR)

Observability

  • Metrics: Collected via jellyfin_metrics ansible role to Prometheus textfile
  • Logs: Forwarded to Loki via Alloy (service="jellyfin")
  • Dashboard: "Jellyfin Media Server" in Grafana

Metrics collected:

  • jellyfin_up - Server availability
  • jellyfin_version_info - Server version
  • jellyfin_library_items{library,type} - Library counts
  • jellyfin_sessions_total - Active sessions
  • jellyfin_sessions_playing - Playing sessions
  • jellyfin_transcode_sessions_total - Transcoding sessions

API Key Setup

Metrics collection requires an API key:

  1. Open https://jellyfin.ops.eblu.me
  2. Go to Dashboard > API Keys > Add
  3. Create key with description "metrics"
  4. Save to indri:
ssh indri 'echo "YOUR_API_KEY" > ~/.jellyfin-api-key && chmod 600 ~/.jellyfin-api-key'
