supportconfig database
an invention by leonardocf
Updated almost 6 years ago. 2 hacker ♥️.

The supportconfig utility is used by support teams to collect all information needed to troubleshoot a system in one shot.

The objective of this project is to create a central repository of supportconfig tarballs. To do so, we're going to develop a set of tools to automatically fetch tarballs from known sources, parse the information, import the useful parts into an SQL database and expose it in a Web front-end where users can run some simple queries.

The following components will be developed:

  • Collector: Retrieves supportconfigs from the usual sources (Bugzilla, ftp.novell.com).
  • Parser: Parses the data from a supportconfig tarball and imports it into a database.
  • Front-end: Displays the collected data in useful formats, generate statistics and allow simple queries.

Looking for hackers with the skills:

      The "Collector" and "Parser" components were developed during Hack Week 9.

      A working prototype of the front-end (using python-django) was developed during Hack Week 10.

    Enhance git-sha-verify: A tool to checkout validated git hashes by gpathak

    Description

    git-sha-verify is a simple shell utility to verify and checkout trusted git commits signed using GPG key. This tool helps ensure that only authorized or validated commit hashes are checked out from a git repository, supporting better code integrity and security within the workflow.

    Supports:

    • Verifying commit authenticity signed using gpg key
    • Checking out trusted commits

    Ideal for teams and projects where the integrity of git history is crucial.

    Goals

    A minimal python code of the shell script exists as a pull request.

    The goal of this hackweek is to:

    • Add more unit tests
    • Make the python code modular
    • Add code coverage if possible

    HTTP API for nftables by crameleon

    Background

    The idea originated in https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/164060 and is about building RESTful API which translates authorized HTTP requests to operations in nftables, possibly utilizing libnftables-json(5).

    Originally, I started developing such an interface in Go, utilizing https://github.com/google/nftables. The conversion of string networks to nftables set elements was problematic (unfortunately no record of details), and I started a second attempt in Python, which made interaction much simpler thanks to native nftables Python bindings.

    Goals

    1. Find and track the issue with google/nftables
    2. Revisit and polish the Python code, primarily the server component
    3. Finish functionality to interact with nftables sets (retrieving and updating elements), which are of interest for the originating issue
    4. Align test suite
    5. Packaging

    Testing and adding GNU/Linux distributions on Uyuni by juliogonzalezgil

    Join the Gitter channel! https://gitter.im/uyuni-project/hackweek

    Uyuni is a configuration and infrastructure management tool that saves you time and headaches when you have to manage and update tens, hundreds or even thousands of machines. It also manages configuration, can run audits, build image containers, monitor and much more!

    Currently there are a few distributions that are completely untested on Uyuni or SUSE Manager (AFAIK) or just not tested since a long time, and could be interesting knowing how hard would be working with them and, if possible, fix whatever is broken.

    For newcomers, the easiest distributions are those based on DEB or RPM packages. Distributions with other package formats are doable, but will require adapting the Python and Java code to be able to sync and analyze such packages (and if salt does not support those packages, it will need changes as well). So if you want a distribution with other packages, make sure you are comfortable handling such changes.

    No developer experience? No worries! We had non-developers contributors in the past, and we are ready to help as long as you are willing to learn. If you don't want to code at all, you can also help us preparing the documentation after someone else has the initial code ready, or you could also help with testing :-)

    The idea is testing Salt and Salt-ssh clients, but NOT traditional clients, which are deprecated.

    To consider that a distribution has basic support, we should cover at least (points 3-6 are to be tested for both salt minions and salt ssh minions):

    1. Reposync (this will require using spacewalk-common-channels and adding channels to the .ini file)
    2. Onboarding (salt minion from UI, salt minion from bootstrap scritp, and salt-ssh minion) (this will probably require adding OS to the bootstrap repository creator)
    3. Package management (install, remove, update...)
    4. Patching
    5. Applying any basic salt state (including a formula)
    6. Salt remote commands
    7. Bonus point: Java part for product identification, and monitoring enablement
    8. Bonus point: sumaform enablement (https://github.com/uyuni-project/sumaform)
    9. Bonus point: Documentation (https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni-docs)
    10. Bonus point: testsuite enablement (https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/tree/master/testsuite)

    If something is breaking: we can try to fix it, but the main idea is research how supported it is right now. Beyond that it's up to each project member how much to hack :-)

    • If you don't have knowledge about some of the steps: ask the team
    • If you still don't know what to do: switch to another distribution and keep testing.

    This card is for EVERYONE, not just developers. Seriously! We had people from other teams helping that were not developers, and added support for Debian and new SUSE Linux Enterprise and openSUSE Leap versions :-)

    Debian 13

    The new version of the beloved Debian GNU/Linux OS

    Seems to be a Debian 12 derivative, so adding it could be quite easy.

    Bring to Cockpit + System Roles capabilities from YAST by miguelpc

    Bring to Cockpit + System Roles features from YAST

    Cockpit and System Roles have been added to SLES 16 There are several capabilities in YAST that are not yet present in Cockpit and System Roles We will follow the principle of "automate first, UI later" being System Roles the automation component and Cockpit the UI one.

    Goals

    The idea is to implement service configuration in System Roles and then add an UI to manage these in Cockpit. For some capabilities it will be required to have an specific Cockpit Module as they will interact with a reasource already configured.

    Resources

    A plan on capabilities missing and suggested implementation is available here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZhX-Ip9MKJNeKSYV3bSZG4Qc5giuY7XSV0U61Ecu9lo/edit

    Goal for this Hackweek

    • Put M2Crypto into better shape (most issues closed, all pull requests processed)
    • More fun to learn jujutsu
    • Play more with Gemini, how much it help (or not).
    • Perhaps, also (just slightly related), help to fix vis to work with LuaJIT, particularly to make vis-lspc working.

    OS self documentation, health check and troubleshooting by roseswe

    Project Description

    The aim of this hackweek project is to improve the utility "cfg2html" so that it is even more usable under SLES and perhaps also under Rancher.

    cfg2html (see also https://github.com/cfg2html/cfg2html) itself is a very mature utility for collecting and documenting information of an operating system like Linux, AIX, HP-UX and others.

    Goal for this Hackweek

    The aim is to extend cfg2html

    • for SLES and SLES-for-SAP apps, high availability
    • Improve code for MicroOS 5.x, SUMA, Edge and k8s environments
    • fix shellbeauity warnings
    • possibly add more plugins
    • SUMA/Salt integration to collect.

    Resources

    Required skills: Bash, shell script and the SUSE products mentioned.
