    OpenQA Golang api client by hilchev

    Description

    I would like to make a simple cli tool to communicate with the OpenQA API

    Goals

    • OpenQA has a ton of information that is hard to get via the UI. A tool like this would make my life easier :)
    • Would potentially make it easier in the future to make UI changes without Perl.
    • Improve my Golang skills

    Contribute to terraform-provider-libvirt by pinvernizzi

    Description

    The SUSE Manager (SUMA) teams' main tool for infrastructure automation, Sumaform, largely relies on terraform-provider-libvirt. That provider is also widely used by other teams, both inside and outside SUSE.

    It would be good to help the maintainers of this project and give back to the community around it, after all the amazing work that has been already done.

    If you're interested in any of infrastructure automation, Terraform, virtualization, tooling development, Go (...) it is also a good chance to learn a bit about them all by putting your hands on an interesting, real-use-case and complex project.

    Goals

    • Get more familiar with Terraform provider development and libvirt bindings in Go
    • Solve some issues and/or implement some features
    • Get in touch with the community around the project

    iSCSI integration in Warewulf by ncuralli

    Description

    This Hackweek project aims to enhance Warewulf’s capabilities by adding iSCSI support, enabling both remote boot and flexible mounting of iSCSI devices within the filesystem. The project, which already handles NFS, DHCP, and iPXE, will be extended to offer iSCSI services as well, centralizing all necessary services for provisioning and booting cluster nodes.

    Goals

    • iSCSI Boot Option: Enable nodes to boot directly from iSCSI volumes
    • Mounting iSCSI Volumes within the Filesystem: Implement support for mounting iSCSI devices at various points within the filesystem

    Resources

    https://warewulf.org/

    Steps

    • add generic framework to handle remote ressource/filesystems to wwctl [ ]
    • add iSCSI handling to wwctl configure [ ]
    • add iSCSI to dracut files [ ]
    • test it [ ]

    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

    Metrics Server viewer for Kubernetes by bkampen

    This project is finished please visit the github repo below for the tool.

    Description

    Build a CLI tools which can visualize Kubernetes metrics from the metrics-server, so you're able to watch these without installing Prometheus and Grafana on a cluster.

    Goals

    • Learn more about metrics-server
    • Learn more about the inner workings of Kubernetes.
    • Learn more about Go

    Jenny Static Site Generator by adam.pickering

    Description

    For my personal site I have been using hugo. It works, but I am not satisfied: every time I want to make a change (which is infrequently) I have to read through the documentation again to understand how hugo works. I don't find the documentation easy to use, and the structure of the repository that hugo requires is unintuitive/more complex than what I need. So, I have decided to write my own simple static site generator in Go. It is named Jenny, after my wife.

    Goals

    • Pages can be written in markdown (which is automatically converted to HTML), but other file types are also allowed
    • Easy to understand and use
      • Intuitive, simple design
      • Clear documentation
      • Hot reloading
      • Binaries provided for download
    • Future maintenance is easy
      • Automated releases

    Hack on rich terminal user interfaces by amanzini

    Description

    TUIs (Textual User Interface) are a big classic of our daily workflow. Many linux users 'live' in the terminal and modern implementations have a lot to offer : unicode fonts, 24 bit colors etc.

    Goals

    • Explore the current available solution on modern languages and implement a PoC , for example a small maze generator, porting of a classic game or just display the HackWeek cute logo.
    • Practice some Go / Rust coding and programming patterns
    • Fiddle around, hack, learn, have fun
    • keep a development diary, practice on project documentation

    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.
