Project Description

Before the openSUSE 2022, we built a prototype of a command line interface for D-Installer just for demonstration purposes. It implements a limited set of functions and, apart from packaging changes, it has not received any relevant update for months.

Recently, we have redefined how the CLI should look. We want to rebuild the CLI from scratch with the new design in mind. However, it sounds boring for a Hack Week project so, why not try something different?

The idea of this project is to rebuild the D-Installer's CLI using Rust. We want to explore how hard it could be compared to Ruby, the main language for D-Installer and YaST. So, if you are interested in learning Rust (and the internals of D-Installer), feel free to join the project.

Goal for this Hackweek

  • Support for config set and config show.
  • Start the installation and track the progress.
  • (optional) Operate through an SSH connection

    SMB3 Server written entirely in Rust by dmulder

    Description

    Given the number of bugs frequently discovered in the Samba code caused by memory issues, it makes sense to re-write the smbd service purely in Rust code. Meanwhile, it would be wise to abandon backwards compatibility here with insecure protocol versions, and simply implement the SMB3 spec.

    Goals

    Get a simple server up and running and get it merged into upstream Samba (which now has Rust build support).

    Better diff'ing experience by MSirringhaus

    Description

    For diff-ing directories, I usually like to use meld, but it struggles a lot with large trees. Experiment with writing a TUI meld-clone for diffing directories and files

    Goals

    Get first prototype going of a TUI that can show

    • diffs of text-files
    • diffs of directories.

    Stretch goals

    • Themes
    • Filters (no whitespace, etc.)
    • Live config changes (Show/hide line numbers, etc.)

    suse-rancher-supportconfig by eminguez

    Description

    Update: Live at https://github.com/e-minguez/suse-rancher-supportconfig I finally didn't used golang but used gum instead add-emoji

    SUSE's supportconfig support tool collects data from the SUSE Operating system. Rancher's rancher2_logs_collector.sh support tool does the same for RKE2/K3s.

    Wouldn't be nice to have a way to run both and collect all data for SUSE based RKE2/K3s clusters? Wouldn't be even better with a fancy TUI tool like bubbletea?

    Ideally the output should be an html page where you can see the logs/data directly from the browser.

    Goals

    • Familiarize myself with both supportconfig and rancher2_logs_collector.sh tools
    • Refresh my golang knowledge
    • Have something that works at the end of the hackweek ("works" may vary add-emoji )
    • Be better in naming things

    file-organizer: A CLI Tool for Efficient File Management by okhatavkar

    Description

    Create a Go-based CLI tool that helps organize files in a specified folder by sorting them into subdirectories based on defined criteria, such as file type or creation date. Users will pass a folder path as an argument, and the tool will process and organize the files within it.

    Goals

    • Develop Go skills by building a practical command-line application.
    • Learn to manage and manipulate files and directories in Go using standard libraries.
    • Create a tool that simplifies file management, making it easier to organize and maintain directories.

    Resources

    • Go Standard Libraries: Utilize os, filepath, and time for file operations.
    • CLI Development: Use flag for basic argument parsing or consider cobra for enhanced functionality.
    • Go Learning Material: Go by Example and The Go Programming Language Documentation.

    Features

    • File Type Sorting: Automatically move files into subdirectories based on their extensions (e.g., documents, images, videos).
    • Date-Based Organization: Add an option to organize files by creation date into year/month folders.
    • User-Friendly CLI: Build intuitive commands and clear outputs for ease of use. This version maintains the core idea of organizing files efficiently while focusing on Go development and practical file management.


    Dartboard TUI by IValentin

    Description

    Our scalability and performance testing swiss-army knife tool Dartboard is a major WIP so why not add more scope creep? Dartboard is a cli tool which enables users to:

    • Define a "Dart" config file as YAML which defines the various components to be created/setup when Dartboard runs its commands
    • Spin up infrastructure utilizing opentofu/terraform providers
    • Setup K3s or RKE2 clusters on the newly created infrastructure
    • Deploy Rancher (with or without downstream cluster), rancher-monitoring (Grafana + Prometheus)
    • Create resources in-bulk within the newly created Rancher cluster (ConfigMaps, Secrets, Users, Roles, etc.)
    • Run various performance and scalability tests via k6
    • Export/Import various tracked metrics (WIP)

    Given all these features (and the features to come), it can be difficult to onboard and transfer knowledge of the tool. With a TUI, Dartboard's usage complexity can be greatly reduced!

    Goals

    • Create a TUI for Dartboard's "subcommands"
    • Gain more familiarity with Dartboard and create a more user-friendly interface to enable others to use it
    • Stretch Create a TUI workflow for generating a Dart file

    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
