Inbox batch — Frigate, SOPS, Prometheus, TN811, NRCS/UT (2026-04-18)

Evidence summary

Field Content
Abstract Single batch grounding edge observability/secrets (Frigate, Flux+SOPS, SOPS readme, Alertmanager) with Tennessee 811 locate process captures and NRCS/UT agriculture PDFs (fence, watering, irrigation guide).
Authority mix Vendor primary docs (captured) + state agency (811) + federal NRCS + UT Extension PDFs.
Decision relevance Homelab: Frigate/Alertmanager/SOPS patterns for platform and secrets standards. Field: 811 safe-digging / ticket timing; NRCS/UT references for fence and watering planning—not substitute for current standard drawings or site engineering.
Canonical wiki links Platform doctrine package — homelab / farm edge · Secrets and certificates — edge cluster standard · Monitoring and logging expectations — edge cluster standard · Authoritative execution evidence cluster — East Tennessee

Key claims (public-safe):

  • TN811 captures describe one-call process and three working days notice framing at ingest time—verify current TCA and operator rules before digs.
  • UT Extension PB1541/PB1641 PDFs are planning references for fences and alternative watering; NRCS NEH 652 is a 1997 irrigation guide PDF—use as historical reference unless superseded by current NRCS guidance.
  • Frigate / Alertmanager / SOPS captures are vendor documentation snapshots for operator alignment—not a security audit of your cluster.

Open questions / follow-ups

  • Re-validate Flux+SOPS flow against your GitOps toolchain and key management.

Purpose: Grounding note for material moved from raw/inbox/ into raw/processed/2026/ on 2026-04-18: homelab / edge operator captures (Frigate NVR, Flux+SOPS secrets guide, upstream SOPS readme, Prometheus Alertmanager docs) plus field-operations references (Tennessee 811 locate process, NRCS CPS 614 hub page, NRCS NEH Part 652 Irrigation Guide PDF, UT Extension fence and livestock watering PDFs).

Synthesis hooks

Provenance: Web captures mirror third-party sites at ingest time; PDFs are local copies with machine *-extracted.md beside each. Do not treat captures as substitutes for current law, standards, or professional engineering.
