Status: Not started — ready to build

Audiobookshelf already supports podcasts natively. Needs a dedicated library directory and podcast feeds configured.

Setup steps:

1. Create podcast storage: nvmepool/podcasts dataset on Proxmox (or subdirectory of existing audiobookshelf mount)
2. Bind mount into CT100 and add to Audiobookshelf docker-compose
3. Create “Podcasts” library in Audiobookshelf UI
4. Add RSS feeds — auto-download new episodes, configurable retention

Podcast feeds to start with (by interest area):

Beekeeping & Pollinators:

• Beekeeping Today Podcast
• Two Bees in a Podcast (UF/IFAS)
• The Bee Informed Podcast
• Pollinator Partnership

Permaculture & Farming:

• The Permaculture Podcast
• The Small Farms Podcast
• Farmer to Farmer
• No-Till Growers
• Growing Farmers

Self-Hosting & Homelab:

• Self-Hosted (Jupiter Broadcasting)
• Homelab Rat
• The Changelog
• Linux Unplugged

Woodworking:

• The Wood Whisperer
• Shop Talk Live (Fine Woodworking)
• The Woodworking Podcast

Nature & Science:

• Ologies (Alie Ward)
• In Defense of Plants
• The Native Plant Podcast

Infrastructure notes:

• Audiobookshelf mobile app supports offline podcast playback
• Episodes auto-delete after configurable retention period
• Can set per-feed download limits (last N episodes)
• Podcast library is separate from audiobook library in Audiobookshelf

Status: Partial — PostGIS farm DB is live (Farm DB docs); downloading the external GIS sources below into it is the remaining work.

Downloadable geospatial data for the 93-acre Brownsville property (Monroe County, Ohio, Zone 6b). All sources are free. Data should be stored and eventually loaded into PostGIS for spatial queries.

Data sources:

How this fits the architecture:

• Download GIS data → Store on nvmepool
• Load into PostGIS (when farm DB is built)
• Overlay with planting zones, sensor locations
• Query: “what soil type is under Zone 3?”
• Grafana GeoJSON panels for visual maps

Storage plan: Create nvmepool/gis dataset or store under nvmepool/sync/ED/farm/gis/. Estimated total: 5-15 GB depending on resolution choices.

Immediate value even before PostGIS:

• Soil survey tells you pH, drainage, and organic matter by location — critical for planting decisions
• Aerial imagery gives you a basemap for planning bed layouts and infrastructure
• LiDAR reveals drainage patterns and slope — important for erosion control and irrigation

Status: Not started — needs Plex library + sourcing strategy

Plex can serve educational video content in a dedicated library separate from movies/TV.

Setup steps:

1. Create nvmepool/courses dataset on Proxmox
2. Bind mount into CT100 → /mnt/courses
3. Add “Courses” library in Plex (type: Other Videos or Movies)
4. Organize by topic: courses/Woodworking/Course Name/, courses/Permaculture/Course Name/, etc.

Content areas:

Woodworking: Hand tool techniques, joinery, finishing, lathe turning, carving, shop setup and tool maintenance.

Permaculture & Land Management: Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) courses, keyline design, swale construction, food forest establishment, holistic land management.

Beekeeping: Beginning to advanced beekeeping, queen rearing, splits, swarm management, integrated pest management, honey processing and value-added products.

Homesteading / Self-Sufficiency: Fruit tree grafting and pruning, mushroom cultivation, fermentation and food preservation.

Sourcing: Manual acquisition — video courses aren’t handled well by automated tools like the *arr stack. Download, organize into folder structure, drop into the courses library. Plex serves them with metadata, progress tracking, and multi-device playback.

Naming convention:

/mnt/courses/
  Woodworking/
    Hand Tool Essentials/
      01 - Sharpening Fundamentals.mp4
      02 - Basic Joinery.mp4
  Permaculture/
    PDC Course Name/
      01 - Introduction to Permaculture.mp4

Status: Low priority — easy to do anytime

Current Kiwix has only wikipedia_en_simple_all_nopic_2026-02.zim (922 MB). The Biggest/Kiwix mount has plenty of space.

High-value ZIMs to add:

Download from library.kiwix.org. Drop ZIMs into Biggest/Kiwix/, the cron watcher auto-restarts Kiwix to pick them up.
