Project Description

Provide a web site where folks can see the current/past versions of K3s at a glance in an easy way.

UPDATE: See it live here

Goal for this Hackweek

Currently folks need to go to https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s/releases and browse over the releases. Ideally something like https://versions.openshift.tips/ can be done during the hackweek. The project will leverage github actions to be built hands free every so often.

Resources

The project will leverage https://update.k3s.io/v1-release/channels and https://github.com/openshifttips/openshift-versions Bonus points for a fancy UI!

Project Logbook

2023-11-06

Created a repository https://github.com/e-minguez/k3s-versions to host the code and created a couple of small python scripts (after fighting with my vscode on osx setup)

Currently they get the k3s/rke2 release channel json file and render a html-jinja-powered template to show the latest, stable and testing k3s/rke2 versions.

2023-11-07

Decoupled the json from the frontend.

It creates md files per release with the release notes (via the GitHub API)

Created a GitHub workflow to generate the json and the md and the frontend (in two different steps, with caches and only runs the required steps if something has changed).

2023-11-08

First proper build of the UI \o/

A few fixes here and there and also the generated json is now reverse ordered (v1.28 > v1.27, etc. you get the idea)

2023-11-09

UI has been rebuilt, now it shows the release notes with a nice effect from right to left

2023-11-10

The UI now includes a list of previous k3s versions per minor release and links to the github releases per each of those. It also includes a pre-release badge.

The action has been fixed and now it builds the site depending if the frontend code changed or if the versions changed
