code

roadmap:

https://github.com/MalloZup/kubeojo/projects/2

which problems it solve:

Having results normally in jenkins we don't visualize them. The results ( and failed tests) are more volatile and the knowledge of the tests failure is something that rely on some internal knowledge and periods.

For improving our test-suites would be nice to track over like 6 months which tests are most failing, etc.

Real-case:

This can be applied for SUSE-Manager team or all team that support junit in jenkins ( this is for the moment the first format of tests)

More then this i would like to use kubeojo for salt-toaster (https://github.com/openSUSE/salt-toaster)

In cucumber we could track the count of failure of feature (group) and also the steps failed( subgroup).

In this way we can have a nice chart. The same reasoning can be applied also for rspec and other tools that use junit format where tests can be ordered in groups.

We could maybe extend functionality over junit but i think is ok to start with junit

    Multi-pod, autoscalable Elixir application in Kubernetes using K8s resources by socon

    Description

    Elixir / Erlang use their own solutions to create clusters that work together. Kubernetes provide its own orchestration. Due to the nature of the BEAM, it looks a very promising technology for applications that run in Kubernetes and requite to be always on, specifically if they are created as web pages using Phoenix.

    Goals

    • Investigate and provide solutions that work in Phoenix LiveView using Kubernetes resources, so a multi-pod application can be used
    • Provide an end to end example that creates and deploy a container from source code.

    WebUI for your data by avicenzi

    A single place to view every bit of data you have.

    Problem

    You have too much data and you are a data hoarder.

    • Family photos and videos.
    • Lots of eBooks, TV Shows, Movies, and else.
    • Boxes full of papers (taxes, invoices, IDs, certificates, exams, and else).
    • Bank account statements (multiple currencies, countries, and people).

    Maybe you have some data on S3, some on your NAS, and some on your local PC.

    • How do you get it all together?
    • How do you link a bank transaction to a product invoice?
    • How to tag any object type and create a collection out of it (mix videos, photos, PDFs, transactions)?
    • How to store this? file/folder structure does not work, everything is linked together

    Project Description

    The idea is a place where you can throw all your data, photos, videos, documents, binaries, and else.

    Create photo albums, document collections, add tags across multiple file-formats, link content, and else.

    The UI should be easy to use, where the data is not important for now (could be all S3 or local drive).

    Similar proposals

    The closest I found so far is https://perkeep.org/, but this is not what I'm looking for.

    Goal for this Hackweek

    Create a web UI, in Svelte ideally, perhaps React.

    It should be able to show photos and videos at least.

    Resources

    None so far, this is just an idea.


    Make more sense of openQA test results using AI by livdywan

    Description

    AI has the potential to help with something many of us spend a lot of time doing which is making sense of openQA logs when a job fails.

    User Story

    Allison Average has a puzzled look on their face while staring at log files that seem to make little sense. Is this a known issue, something completely new or maybe related to infrastructure changes?

    Goals

    • Leverage a chat interface to help Allison
    • Create a model from scratch based on data from openQA
    • Proof of concept for automated analysis of openQA test results

    Bonus

    • Use AI to suggest solutions to merge conflicts
      • This would need a merge conflict editor that can suggest solving the conflict
    • Use image recognition for needles

    Resources

    Timeline

    Day 1

    • Conversing with open-webui to teach me how to create a model based on openQA test results

    Day 2

    Highlights

    • I briefly tested compared models to see if they would make me more productive. Between llama, gemma and mistral there was no amazing difference in the results for my case.
    • Convincing the chat interface to produce code specific to my use case required very explicit instructions.
    • Asking for advice on how to use open-webui itself better was frustratingly unfruitful both in trivial and more advanced regards.
    • Documentation on source materials used by LLM's and tools for this purpose seems virtually non-existent - specifically if a logo can be generated based on particular licenses

    Outcomes

    • Chat interface-supported development is providing good starting points and open-webui being open source is more flexible than Gemini. Although currently some fancy features such as grounding and generated podcasts are missing.
    • Allison still has to be very experienced with openQA to use a chat interface for test review. Publicly available system prompts would make that easier, though.


    Yearly Quality Engineering Ask me Anything - AMA for not-engineering by szarate

    Goal

    Get a closer look at how developers work on the Engineering team (R & D) of SUSE, and close the collaboration gap between GSI and Engineering

    Why?

    Santiago can go over different development workflows, and can do a deepdive into how Quality Engineering works (think of my QE Team, the advocates for your customers), The idea of this session is to help open the doors to opportunities for collaboration, and broaden our understanding of SUSE as a whole.

    Objectives

    • Give $audience a small window on how to get some questions answered either on the spot or within days of how some things at engineering are done
    • Give Santiago Zarate from Quality Engineering a look into how $audience sees the engineering departments, and find out possibilities of further collaboration

    How?

    By running an "Ask me Anything" session, which is a format of a kind of open Q & A session, where participants ask the host multiple questions.

    How to make it happen?

    I'm happy to help joining a call or we can do it async (online/in person is more fun). Ping me over email-slack and lets make the magic happen!. Doesn't need to be during hackweek, but we gotta kickstart the idea during hackweek ;)

    Rules

    The rules are simple, the more questions the more fun it will be; while this will be only a window into engineering, it can also be the place to help all of us get to a similar level of understanding of the processes that are behind our respective areas of the organization.

    Dynamics

    The host will be monitoring the questions on some pre-agreed page, and try to answer to the best of their knowledge, if a question is too difficult or the host doesn't have the answer, he will do his best to provide an answer at a later date.

    Atendees are encouraged to add questions beforehand; in the case there aren't any, we would be looking at how Quality Engineering tests new products or performs regression tests

    Agenda

    • Introduction of Santiago Zarate, Product Owner of Quality Engineering Core team
    • Introduction of the Group/Team/Persons interested
    • Ice breaker
    • AMA time! Add your questions $PAGE
    • Looking at QE Workflows: How is
      • A maintenance update being tested before being released to our customers
      • Products in development are tested before making it generally available
    • Engineering Opportunity Board


    Automated Test Report reviewer by oscar-barrios

    Description

    In SUMA/Uyuni team we spend a lot of time reviewing test reports, analyzing each of the test cases failing, checking if the test is a flaky test, checking logs, etc.

    Goals

    Speed up the review by automating some parts through AI, in a way that we can consume some summary of that report that could be meaningful for the reviewer.

    Resources

    No idea about the resources yet, but we will make use of:

    • HTML/JSON Report (text + screenshots)
    • The Test Suite Status GithHub board (via API)
    • The environment tested (via SSH)
    • The test framework code (via files)


    Hack on isotest-ng - a rust port of isotovideo (os-autoinst aka testrunner of openQA) by szarate

    Description

    Some time ago, I managed to convince ByteOtter to hack something that resembles isotovideo but in Rust, not because I believe that Perl is dead, but more because there are certain limitations in the perl code (how it was written), and its always hard to add new functionalities when they are about implementing a new backend, or fixing bugs (Along with people complaining that Perl is dead, and that they don't like it)

    In reality, I wanted to see if this could be done, and ByteOtter proved that it could be, while doing an amazing job at hacking a vnc console, and helping me understand better what RuPerl needs to work.

    I plan to keep working on this for the next few years, and while I don't aim for feature completion or replacing isotovideo tih isotest-ng (name in progress), I do plan to be able to use it on a daily basis, using specialized tooling with interfaces, instead of reimplementing everything in the backend

    Todo

    • Add make targets for testability, e.g "spawn qemu and type"
    • Add image search matching algorithm
    • Add a Null test distribution provider
    • Add a Perl Test Distribution Provider
    • Fix unittests https://github.com/os-autoinst/isotest-ng/issues/5
    • Research OpenTofu how to add new hypervisors/baremetal to OpenTofu
    • Add an interface to openQA cli

    Goals

    • Implement at least one of the above, prepare proposals for GSoC
    • Boot a system via it's BMC

    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 :-)

    Drag Race - comparative performance testing for pull requests by balanza

    Description

    «Sophia, a backend developer, submitted a pull request with optimizations for a critical database query. Once she pushed her code, an automated load test ran, comparing her query against the main branch. Moments later, she saw a new comment automatically added to her PR: the comparison results showed reduced execution time and improved efficiency. Smiling, Sophia messaged her team, “Performance gains confirmed!”»

    Goals

    • To have a convenient and ergonomic framework to describe test scenarios, including environment and seed;
    • to compare results from different tests
    • to have a GitHub action that executes such tests on a CI environment

    Improve Development Environment on Uyuni by mbussolotto

    Description

    Currently create a dev environment on Uyuni might be complicated. The steps are:

    • add the correct repo
    • download packages
    • configure your IDE (checkstyle, format rules, sonarlint....)
    • setup debug environment
    • ...

    The current doc can be improved: some information are hard to be find out, some others are completely missing.

    Dev Container might solve this situation.

    Goals

    Uyuni development in no time:

    • using VSCode:
      • setting.json should contains all settings (for all languages in Uyuni, with all checkstyle rules etc...)
      • dev container should contains all dependencies
      • setup debug environment
    • implement a GitHub Workspace solution
    • re-write documentation

    Lots of pieces are already implemented: we need to connect them in a consistent solution.

    Enable the containerized Uyuni server to run on different host OS by j_renner

    Description

    The Uyuni server is provided as a container, but we still require it to run on Leap Micro? This is not how people expect to use containerized applications, so it would be great if we tested other host OSs and enabled them by providing builds of necessary tools for (e.g. mgradm). Interesting candidates should be:

    • openSUSE Leap
    • Cent OS 7
    • Ubuntu
    • ???

    Goals

    Make it really easy for anyone to run the Uyuni containerized server on whatever OS they want (with support for containers of course).


    ClusterOps - Easily install and manage your personal kubernetes cluster by andreabenini

    Description

    ClusterOps is a Kubernetes installer and operator designed to streamline the initial configuration and ongoing maintenance of kubernetes clusters. The focus of this project is primarily on personal or local installations. However, the goal is to expand its use to encompass all installations of Kubernetes for local development purposes.
    It simplifies cluster management by automating tasks and providing just one user-friendly YAML-based configuration config.yml.

    Overview

    • Simplified Configuration: Define your desired cluster state in a simple YAML file, and ClusterOps will handle the rest.
    • Automated Setup: Automates initial cluster configuration, including network settings, storage provisioning, special requirements (for example GPUs) and essential components installation.
    • Ongoing Maintenance: Performs routine maintenance tasks such as upgrades, security updates, and resource monitoring.
    • Extensibility: Easily extend functionality with custom plugins and configurations.
    • Self-Healing: Detects and recovers from common cluster issues, ensuring stability, idempotence and reliability. Same operation can be performed multiple times without changing the result.
    • Discreet: It works only on what it knows, if you are manually configuring parts of your kubernetes and this configuration does not interfere with it you can happily continue to work on several parts and use this tool only for what is needed.

    Features

    • distribution and engine independence. Install your favorite kubernetes engine with your package manager, execute one script and you'll have a complete working environment at your disposal.
    • Basic config approach. One single config.yml file with configuration requirements (add/remove features): human readable, plain and simple. All fancy configs managed automatically (ingress, balancers, services, proxy, ...).
    • Local Builtin ContainerHub. The default installation provides a fully configured ContainerHub available locally along with the kubernetes installation. This configuration allows the user to build, upload and deploy custom container images as they were provided from external sources. Internet public sources are still available but local development can be kept in this localhost server. Builtin ClusterOps operator will be fetched from this ContainerHub registry too.
    • Kubernetes official dashboard installed as a plugin, others planned too (k9s for example).
    • Kubevirt plugin installed and properly configured. Unleash the power of classic virtualization (KVM+QEMU) on top of Kubernetes and manage your entire system from there, libvirtd and virsh libs are required.
    • One operator to rule them all. The installation script configures your machine automatically during installation and adds one kubernetes operator to manage your local cluster. From there the operator takes care of the cluster on your behalf.
    • Clean installation and removal. Just test it, when you are done just use the same program to uninstall everything without leaving configs (or pods) behind.

    Planned features (Wishlist / TODOs)

    • Containerized Data Importer (CDI). Persistent storage management add-on for Kubernetes to provide a declarative way of building and importing Virtual Machine Disks on PVCs for


    ADS-B receiver with MicroOS by epaolantonio

    I would like to put one of my spare Raspberry Pis to good use, and what better way to see what flies above my head at any time? add-emoji

    There are various ready-to-use distros already set-up to provide feeder data to platforms like Flightradar24, ADS-B Exchange, FlightAware etc... The goal here would be to do it using MicroOS as a base and containerized decoding of ADS-B data (via tools like dump1090) and web frontend (tar1090).

    Goals

    • Create a working receiver using MicroOS as a base, and containers based on Tumbleweed
    • Make it easy to install
    • Optimize for maximum laziness (i.e. it should take care of itself with minimum intervention)

    Resources

    • 1x Small Board Computer capable of running MicroOS
    • 1x RTL2832U DVB-T dongle
    • 1x MicroSD card
    • https://github.com/antirez/dump1090
    • https://github.com/flightaware/dump1090 (dump1090 fork by FlightAware)
    • https://github.com/wiedehopf/tar1090

    Project status (2024-11-22)

    So I'd say that I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out. I've packaged readsb (as a replacement for dump1090), tar1090, tar1090-db and mlat-client (not used yet).

    Current status:

    • Able to set-up a working receiver using combustion+ignition (web app based on Fuel Ignition)
    • Able to feed to various feeds using the Beast protocol (Airplanes.live, ADSB.fi, ADSB.lol, ADSBExchange.com, Flyitalyadsb.com, Planespotters.net)
    • Able to feed to Flightradar24 (initial-setup available but NOT tested! I've only tested using a key I already had)
    • Local web interface (tar1090) to easily visualize the results
    • Cockpit pre-configured to ease maintenance

    What's missing:

    • MLAT (Multilateration) support. I've packaged mlat-client already, but I have to wire it up
    • FlightAware support

    Give it a go at https://g7.github.io/adsbreceiver/ !

    Migrate from Docker to Podman by tjyrinki_suse

    Description

    I'd like to continue my former work on containerization of several domains on a single server by changing from Docker containers to Podman containers. That will need an OS upgrade as well as Podman is not available in that old server version.

    Goals

    • Update OS.
    • Migrate from Docker to Podman.
    • Keep everything functional, including the existing "meanwhile done" additional Docker container that is actually being used already.
    • Keep everything at least as secure as currently. One of the reasons of having the containers is to isolate risks related to services open to public Internet.
    • Try to enable the Podman use in production.
    • At minimum, learn about all of these topics.
    • Optionally, improve Ansible side of things as well...

    kubectl clone: Seamlessly Clone Kubernetes Resources Across Multiple Rancher Clusters and Projects by dpunia

    Description

    kubectl clone is a kubectl plugin that empowers users to clone Kubernetes resources across multiple clusters and projects managed by Rancher. It simplifies the process of duplicating resources from one cluster to another or within different namespaces and projects, with optional on-the-fly modifications. This tool enhances multi-cluster resource management, making it invaluable for environments where Rancher orchestrates numerous Kubernetes clusters.

    Goals

    1. Seamless Multi-Cluster Cloning
      • Clone Kubernetes resources across clusters/projects with one command.
      • Simplifies management, reduces operational effort.

    Resources

    1. Rancher & Kubernetes Docs

      • Rancher API, Cluster Management, Kubernetes client libraries.
    2. Development Tools

      • Kubectl plugin docs, Go programming resources.

    Building and Installing the Plugin

    1. Set Environment Variables: Export the Rancher URL and API token:
    • export RANCHER_URL="https://rancher.example.com"
    • export RANCHER_TOKEN="token-xxxxx:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    1. Build the Plugin: Compile the Go program:
    • go build -o kubectl-clone ./pkg/
    1. Install the Plugin: Move the executable to a directory in your PATH:
    • mv kubectl-clone /usr/local/bin/

    Ensure the file is executable:

    • chmod +x /usr/local/bin/kubectl-clone
    1. Verify the Plugin Installation: Test the plugin by running:
    • kubectl clone --help

    You should see the usage information for the kubectl-clone plugin.

    Usage Examples

    1. Clone a Deployment from One Cluster to Another:
    • kubectl clone --source-cluster c-abc123 --type deployment --name nginx-deployment --target-cluster c-def456 --new-name nginx-deployment-clone
    1. Clone a Service into Another Namespace and Modify Labels:


    ddflare: (Dynamic)DNS management via Cloudflare API in Kubernetes by fgiudici

    Description

    ddflare is a project started a couple of weeks ago to provide DDNS management using v4 Cloudflare APIs: Cloudflare offers management via APIs and access tokens, so it is possible to register a domain and implement a DynDNS client without any other external service but their API.

    Since ddflare allows to set any IP to any domain name, one could manage multiple A and ALIAS domain records. Wouldn't be cool to allow full DNS control from the project and integrate it with your Kubernetes cluster?

    Goals

    Main goals are:

    1. add containerized image for ddflare
    2. extend ddflare to be able to add and remove DNS records (and not just update existing ones)
    3. add documentation, covering also a sample pod deployment for Kubernetes
    4. write a ddflare Kubernetes operator to enable domain management via Kubernetes resources (using kubebuilder)

    Available tasks and improvements tracked on ddflare github.

    Integrate Backstage with Rancher Manager by nwmacd

    Description

    Backstage (backstage.io) is an open-source, CNCF project that allows you to create your own developer portal. There are many plugins for Backstage.

    This could be a great compliment to Rancher Manager.

    Goals

    Learn and experiment with Backstage and look at how this could be integrated with Rancher Manager. Goal is to have some kind of integration completed in this Hack week.

    Progress

    Screen shot of home page at the end of Hackweek:

    Home

    Day One

    • Got Backstage running locally, understanding configuration with HTTPs.
    • Got Backstage embedded in an IFRAME inside of Rancher
    • Added content into the software catalog (see: https://backstage.io/docs/features/techdocs/getting-started/)
    • Understood more about the entity model

    Day Two

    • Connected Backstage to the Rancher local cluster and configured the Kubernetes plugin.
    • Created Rancher theme to make the light theme more consistent with Rancher

    Home

    Days Three and Day Four

    • Created two backend plugins for Backstage:

      1. Catalog Entity Provider - this imports users from Rancher into Backstage
      2. Auth Provider - uses the proxied sign-in pattern to check the Rancher session cookie, to user that to authenticate the user with Rancher and then log them into Backstage by connecting this to the imported User entity from the catalog entity provider plugin.
    • With this in place, you can single-sign-on between Rancher and Backstage when it is deployed within Rancher. Note this is only when running locally for development at present

    Day Five

    • Start to build out a production deployment for all of the above
    • Made some progress, but hit issues with the authentication and proxying when running proxied within Rancher, which needs further investigation


    Introducing "Bottles": A Proof of Concept for Multi-Version CRD Management in Kubernetes by aruiz

    Description

    As we delve deeper into the complexities of managing multiple CRD versions within a single Kubernetes cluster, I want to introduce "Bottles" - a proof of concept that aims to address these challenges.

    Bottles propose a novel approach to isolating and deploying different CRD versions in a self-contained environment. This would allow for greater flexibility and efficiency in managing diverse workloads.

    Goals

    • Evaluate Feasibility: determine if this approach is technically viable, as well as identifying possible obstacles and limitations.
    • Reuse existing technology: leverage existing products whenever possible, e.g. build on top of Kubewarden as admission controller.
    • Focus on Rancher's use case: the ultimate goal is to be able to use this approach to solve Rancher users' needs.

    Resources

    Core concepts:

    • ConfigMaps: Bottles could be defined and configured using ConfigMaps.
    • Admission Controller: An admission controller will detect "bootled" CRDs being installed and replace the resource name used to store them.
    • Aggregated API Server: By analyzing the author of a request, the aggregated API server will determine the correct bottle and route the request accordingly, making it transparent for the user.

    obs-service-vendor_node_modules by cdimonaco

    Description

    When building a javascript package for obs, one option is to use https://github.com/openSUSE/obs-service-node_modules as source service to get the project npm dependencies available for package bulding.

    obs-service-vendornodemodules aims to be a source service that vendors npm dependencies, installing them with npm install (optionally only production ones) and then creating a tar package of the installed dependencies.

    The tar will be used as source in the package building definitions.

    Goals

    • Create an obs service package that vendors the npm dependencies as tar archive.
    • Maybe add some macros to unpack the vendor package in the specfiles

    Design the new UI for storage configuration at Agama by ancorgs

    Description

    We are in the process of re-designing the web user interface to configure storage at Agama. We expected to have a clear idea of what we wanted before starting Hack Week. But the idea is still not that clear. So I will use use my Hack Week time to try several prototypes since I really want this to be done.

    Goals

    Have a prototype using Patternfly components and addressing all the use-cases we want to cover. Easy for the easy cases. Capable for the complex ones.


    Editor mode at Agama web interface by ancorgs

    Description

    Agama is a new Linux installer that will be very likely used for SLES 16.

    It takes a configuration (in JSON format) as input. And offers several interfaces to build that configuration in an easy and interactive way.

    I was considering the possibility to add to the web interface a "text editor" mode similar to the XML editor available at virt-manager. That could be used to see how the changes in the UI translate into changes on the configuration.

    Goals

    • Refresh my knowledge about UI development for Agama, since there was a major overhaul recently (adopting TanStack Query) and I need to learn the new way to do things.
    • Please hackers who always want to know how things work internally. :-)


    Try to render Agama in a TUI browser by ancorgs

    Description

    Agama is a new Linux installer that will be very likely used for SLES 16. It offers a modern and convenient web interface that can be executed both locally and remotely.

    But of course some users will miss the old TUI (ncurses) interface of the YaST installer.

    So I want to experiment whether would it be possible to render a simplified version of the web interface for TUI browsers. That's only doable and maintainable if we keep the current technology stack we use for rendering the full-blown page, simply replacing complicated UI elements with others that are easy to render. That means the browser would need to support Javascript.

    Chawan seems to be almost there regarding support for Javascript, XHR and related technologies. But according to this conversation, the next missing piece would be to support recursive import of module script tags.

    Unfortunately, Chawan is written in Nim and I'm pretty sure a week is not enough time for me to learn Nim, implement the feature at Chawan and then fix whatever is the next obstacle on the Agama side.

    But if someone could take care of the Nim part, I would do the same with the Agama one. So this is basically a call for help to get this project even started.


    Agama installer on-line demo by lslezak

    Description

    The Agama installer provides a quite complex user interface. We have some screenshots on the web page but as it is basically a web application it would be nice to have some on-line demo where users could click and check it live.

    The problem is that the Agama server directly accesses the hardware (storage probing) and loads installation repositories. We cannot easily mock this in the on-line demo so the easiest way is to have just a read-only demo. You could explore the configuration options but you could not change anything, all changes would be ignored.

    The read-only demo would be a bit limited but I still think it would be useful for potential users get the feeling of the new Agama installer and get familiar with it before using in a real installation.

    As a proof of concept I already created this on-line demo.

    The implementation basically builds Agama in two modes - recording mode where it saves all REST API responses and replay mode where it for the REST API requests returns the previously recorded responses. Recording in the browser is inconvenient and error prone, there should be some scripting instead (see below).

    Goals

    • Create an Agama on-line demo which can be easily tested by users
    • The Agama installer is still in alpha phase and in active development, the online demo needs to be easily rebuilt with the latest Agama version
    • Ideally there should be some automation so the demo page is rebuilt automatically without any developer interactions (once a day or week?)

    TODO

    • Use OpenAPI to get all Agama REST API endpoints, write a script which queries all the endpoints automatically and saves the collected data to a file (see this related PR).
    • Write a script for starting an Agama VM (use libvirt/qemu?), the script should ensure we always use the same virtual HW so if we need to dump the latest REST API state we get the same (or very similar data). This should ensure the demo page does not change much regarding the storage proposal etc...
    • Fix changing the product, currently it gets stuck after clicking the "Select" button.
    • Move the mocking data (the recorded REST API responses) outside the Agama sources, it's too big and will be probably often updated. To avoid messing the history keep it in a separate GitHub repository
    • Allow changing the UI language
    • Display some note (watermark) in the page so it is clear it is a read-only demo (probably with some version or build date to know how old it is)
    • Automation for building new demo page from the latest sources. There should be some check which ensures the recorded data still matches the OpenAPI specification.

    Changing the UI language

    This will be quite tricky because selecting the proper translation file is done on the server side. We would probably need to completely re-implement the logic in the browser side and adapt the server for that.

    Also some REST API responses contain translated texts (storage proposal, pattern names in software). We would need to query the respective endpoints in all supported languages and return the correct response in runtime according to the currently selected language.

    Create openSUSE images for Arm/RISC-V boards by avicenzi

    Project Description

    Create openSUSE images (or test generic EFI images) for Arm and/or RISC-V boards that are not yet supported.

    Goal for this Hackweek

    Create bootable images of Tumbleweed for SBCs that currently have no images available or are untested.

    Consider generic EFI images where possible, as some boards can hold a bootloader.

    Document in the openSUSE Wiki how to flash and use the image for a given board.

    Boards that I have around and there are no images:

    • Rock 3B
    • Nano PC T3 Plus
    • Lichee RV D1
    • StartFive VisionFive (has some image needs testing)

    New migration tool for Leap by lkocman

    Update

    I will call a meeting with other interested people at 11:00 CET https://meet.opensuse.org/migrationtool

    Description

    SLES 16 plans to have no yast tool in it. Leap 16 might keep some bits, however, we need a new tool for Leap to SLES migration, as this was previously handled by a yast2-migration-sle

    Goals

    A tool able to migrate Leap 16 to SLES 16, I would like to cover also other scenarios within openSUSE, as in many cases users would have to edit repository files manually.

    • Leap -> Leap n+1 (minor and major version updates)
    • Leap -> SLES docs
    • Leap -> Tumbleweed
    • Leap -> Slowroll
    • Leap Micro -> Leap Micro n+1 (minor and major version updates)
    • Leap Micro -> MicroOS

    Hackweek 24 update

    Marcela and I were working on the project from Brno coworking as well as finalizing pieces after the hackweek. We've tested several migration scenarios and it works. But it needs further polishing and testing.

    Projected was renamed to opensuse-migration-tool and was submitted to devel project https://build.opensuse.org/requests/1227281

    Repository

    https://github.com/openSUSE/opensuse-migration-tool

    Out of scope is any migration to an immutable system. I know Richard already has some tool for that.

    YQPkg - Bringing the Single Package Selection Back to Life by shundhammer

    tl;dr

    Rip out the high-level YQPackageSelector widget from YaST and make it a standalone Qt program without any YaST dependencies.

    See section "Result" at the bottom for the current status after the hack week.

    The Past and the Present

    We used to have and still have a powerful software selection with the YaST sw_single module (and the YaST patterns counterpart): You can select software down to the package level, you can easily select one of many available package versions, you can select entire patterns - or just view them and pick individual packages from patterns.

    You can search packages based on name, description, "requires" or "provides" level, and many more things.

    The Future

    YaST is on its way out, to be replaced by the new Agama installer and Cockpit for system administration. Those tools can do many things, but fine-grained package selection is not among them. And there are also no other Open Source tools available for that purpose that even come close to the YaST package selection.

    Many aspects of YaST have become obsolete over the years; many subsystems now come with a good default configuration, or they can configure themselves automatically. Just think about sound or X11 configuration; when did you last need to touch them?

    For others, the desktops bring their own tools (e.g. printers), or there are FOSS configuration tools (NetworkManager, BlueMan). Most YaST modules are no longer needed, and for many others there is a replacement in tools like Cockpit.

    But no longer having a powerful fine-grained package selection like in YaST sw_single will hurt. Big time. At least until there is an adequate replacement, many users will want to keep it.

    The Idea

    YaST sw_single always revolved around a powerful high-level widget on the abstract UI level. Libyui has low-level widgets like YPushButton, YCheckBox, YInputField, more advanced ones like YTable, YTree; and some few very high-level ones like YPackageSelector and YPatternSelector that do the whole package selection thing alone, working just on the libzypp level and changing the status of packages or patterns there.

    For the YaST Qt UI, the YQPackageSelector / YQPatternSelector widgets work purely on the Qt and libzypp level; no other YaST infrastructure involved, in particular no Ruby (or formerly YCP) interpreter, no libyui-level widgets, no bindings between Qt / C++ and Ruby / YaST-core, nothing. So it's not too hard to rip all that part out of YaST and create a standalone program from it.

    For the NCurses UI, the NCPackageSelector / NCPatternSelector create a lot of libyui widgets (inheriting YWidget / NCWidget) and use a lot of libyui calls to glue them together; and all that of course still needs a lot of YaST / libyui / libyui-ncurses infrastructure. So NCurses is out of scope here.

    Preparatory Work: Initializing the Package Subsystem

    To see if this is feasible at all, the existing UI examples needed some fixing to check what is needed on that level. That was the make-or-break decision: Would it be realistically possible to set the needed environment in libzypp up (without being stranded in the middle of that task alone at the end of the hack week)?

    Yes, it is: That part is already working:

    https://github.com/yast/yast-ycp-ui-bindings/pull/71

    Go there for a screenshot

    That's already halfway there.

    The complete Ruby code of this example is here. The real thing will be pure C++ without any YaST dependencies.
