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.

    Improve/rework household chore tracker `chorazon` by gniebler

    Description

    I wrote a household chore tracker named chorazon, which is meant to be deployed as a web application in the household's local network.

    It features the ability to set up different (so far only weekly) schedules per task and per person, where tasks may span several days.

    There are "tokens", which can be collected by users. Tasks can (and usually will) have rewards configured where they yield a certain amount of tokens. The idea is that they can later be redeemed for (surprise) gifts, but this is not implemented yet. (So right now one needs to edit the DB manually to subtract tokens when they're redeemed.)

    Days are not rolled over automatically, to allow for task completion control.

    We used it in my household for several months, with mixed success. There are many limitations in the system that would warrant a revisit.

    It's written using the Pyramid Python framework with URL traversal, ZODB as the data store and Web Components for the frontend.

    Goals

    • Add admin screens for users, tasks and schedules
    • Add models, pages etc. to allow redeeming tokens for gifts/surprises
    • …?

    Improvements to osc (especially with regards to the Git workflow) by mcepl

    Description

    There is plenty of hacking on osc, where we could spent some fun time. I would like to see a solution for https://github.com/openSUSE/osc/issues/2006 (which is sufficiently non-serious, that it could be part of HackWeek project).


    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 Go or Python code (prefer Go, but possibly depends on implementing missing functionality), 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

    Resources

    • https://git.netfilter.org/nftables/tree/py/src/nftables.py
    • https://git.com.de/Georg/nftables-http-api (to be moved to GitHub)
    • https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:crameleon:containers/pytest-nftables-container

    Results

    • Go nftables issue was related to set elements needing to be added with different start and end addresses - coincidentally, this was recently discovered by someone else, who added a useful helper function for this: https://github.com/google/nftables/pull/342.

    Side results

    Upon starting to unify the structure and implementing more functionality, missing JSON output support was noticed for some subcommands in libnftables. I am submitting patches as needed:

    Collection and organisation of information about Bulgarian schools by iivanov

    Description

    To achieve this it will be necessary:

    • Collect/download raw data from various government and non-governmental organizations
    • Clean up raw data and organise it in some kind database.
    • Create tool to make queries easy.
    • Or perhaps dump all data into AI and ask questions in natural language.

    Goals

    By selecting particular school information like this will be provided:

    • School scores on national exams.
    • School scores from the external evaluations exams.
    • School town, municipality and region.
    • Employment rate in a town or municipality.
    • Average health of the population in the region.

    Liz - Prompt autocomplete by ftorchia

    Description

    Liz is the Rancher AI assistant for cluster operations.

    Goals

    We want to help users when sending new messages to Liz, by adding an autocomplete feature to complete their requests based on the context.

    Example:

    • User prompt: "Can you show me the list of p"
    • Autocomplete suggestion: "Can you show me the list of p...od in local cluster?"

    Example:

    • User prompt: "Show me the logs of #rancher-"
    • Chat console: It shows a drop-down widget, next to the # character, with the list of available pod names starting with "rancher-".

    Technical Overview

    1. The AI agent should expose a new ws/autocomplete endpoint to proxy autocomplete messages to the LLM.
    2. The UI extension should be able to display prompt suggestions and allow users to apply the autocomplete to the Prompt via keyboard shortcuts.

    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.
