Create language model based on Uyuni documentation
an idea by nadvornik
Updated about 2 years ago. No love. 1 follower. Has no hacker: grab it!

Project Description

The goal is to have a language model, that is able to answer technical questions on Uyuni. Uyuni documentation is too large for in-context processing, so finetuning is the way to go.

Goal for this Hackweek

Finetune a model based on llama-2-7b.

    Local AI assistant with optional integrations and mobile companion by livdywan

    Description

    Setup a local AI assistant for research, brainstorming and proof reading. Look into SurfSense, Open WebUI and possibly alternatives. Explore integration with services like openQA. There should be no cloud dependencies. Mobile phone support or an additional companion app would be a bonus. The goal is not to develop everything from scratch.

    User Story

    • Allison Average wants a one-click local AI assistent on their openSUSE laptop.
    • Ash Awesome wants AI on their phone without an expensive subscription.

    Goals

    • Evaluate a local SurfSense setup for day to day productivity
    • Test opencode for vibe coding and tool calling

    Timeline

    Day 1

    • Took a look at SurfSense and started setting up a local instance.
    • Unfortunately the container setup did not work well. Tho this was a great opportunity to learn some new podman commands and refresh my memory on how to recover a corrupted btrfs filesystem.

    Day 2

    • Due to its sheer size and complexity SurfSense seems to have triggered btrfs fragmentation. Naturally this was not visible in any podman-related errors or in the journal. So this took up much of my second day.

    Day 3

    Day 4

    • Context size is a thing, and models are not equally usable for vibe coding.
    • Through arduous browsing for ollama models I did find some like myaniu/qwen2.5-1m:7b with 1m but even then it is not obvious if they are meant for tool calls.

    Day 5

    • Whilst trying to make opencode usable I discovered ramalama which worked instantly and very well.

    Outcomes

    surfsense

    I could not easily set this up completely. Maybe in part due to my filesystem issues. Was expecting this to be less of an effort.

    opencode

    Installing opencode and ollama in my distrobox container along with the following configs worked for me.

    When preparing a new project from scratch it is a good idea to start out with a template.

    opencode.json

    Try AI training with ROCm and LoRA by bmwiedemann

    Description

    I want to setup a Radeon RX 9600 XT 16 GB at home with ROCm on Slowroll.

    Goals

    I want to test how fast AI inference can get with the GPU and if I can use LoRA to re-train an existing free model for some task.

    • https://www.suse.com/c/lora-fine-tuning-llms-for-text-classification/

    Results

    got inference working with llama.cpp:

    export LLAMACPP_ROCM_ARCH=gfx1200
HIPCXX="$(hipconfig -l)/clang" HIP_PATH="$(hipconfig -R)" \
cmake -S . -B build -DGGML_HIP=ON -DAMDGPU_TARGETS=$LLAMACPP_ROCM_ARCH \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DLLAMA_CURL=ON \
-Dhipblas_DIR=/usr/lib64/cmake/hipblaslt/ \
&& cmake --build build --config Release -j8
m=models/gpt-oss-20b-mxfp4.gguf
cd $P/llama.cpp && build/bin/llama-server --model $m --threads 8 --port 8005 --host 0.0.0.0 --device ROCm0 --n-gpu-layers 999

    Without the --device option it faulted. Maybe because my APU also appears there?

    I updated/fixed various related packages: https://src.opensuse.org/ROCm/rocm-examples/pulls/1 https://src.opensuse.org/ROCm/hipblaslt/pulls/1 SR 1320959

    benchmark

    I benchmarked inference with llama.cpp + gpt-oss-20b-mxfp4.gguf and ROCm offloading to a Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB. I varied the number of layers that went to the GPU:

    • 0 layers 14.49 tokens/s (8 CPU cores)
    • 9 layers 17.79 tokens/s 34% VRAM
    • 15 layers 22.39 tokens/s 51% VRAM
    • 20 layers 27.49 tokens/s 64% VRAM
    • 24 layers 41.18 tokens/s 74% VRAM
    • 25+ layers 86.63 tokens/s 75% VRAM (only 200% CPU load)

    So there is a significant performance-boost if the whole model fits into the GPU's VRAM.

    Uyuni Health-check Grafana AI Troubleshooter by ygutierrez

    Description

    This project explores the feasibility of using the open-source Grafana LLM plugin to enhance the Uyuni Health-check tool with LLM capabilities. The idea is to integrate a chat-based "AI Troubleshooter" directly into existing dashboards, allowing users to ask natural-language questions about errors, anomalies, or performance issues.

    Goals

    • Investigate if and how the grafana-llm-app plug-in can be used within the Uyuni Health-check tool.
    • Investigate if this plug-in can be used to query LLMs for troubleshooting scenarios.
    • Evaluate support for local LLMs and external APIs through the plugin.
    • Evaluate if and how the Uyuni MCP server could be integrated as another source of information.

    Uyuni Saltboot rework by oholecek

    Description

    When Uyuni switched over to the containerized proxies we had to abandon salt based saltboot infrastructure we had before. Uyuni already had integration with a Cobbler provisioning server and saltboot infra was re-implemented on top of this Cobbler integration.

    What was not obvious from the start was that Cobbler, having all it's features, woefully slow when dealing with saltboot size environments. We did some improvements in performance, introduced transactions, and generally tried to make this setup usable. However the underlying slowness remained.

    Goals

    This project is not something trying to invent new things, it is just finally implementing saltboot infrastructure directly with the Uyuni server core.

    Instead of generating grub and pxelinux configurations by Cobbler for all thousands of systems and branches, we will provide a GET access point to retrieve grub or pxelinux file during the boot:

    /saltboot/group/grub/$fqdn and similar for systems /saltboot/system/grub/$mac

    Next we adapt our tftpd translator to query these points when asked for default or mac based config.

    Lastly similar thing needs to be done on our apache server when HTTP UEFI boot is used.

    Move Uyuni Test Framework from Selenium to Playwright + AI by oscar-barrios

    Description

    This project aims to migrate the existing Uyuni Test Framework from Selenium to Playwright. The move will improve the stability, speed, and maintainability of our end-to-end tests by leveraging Playwright's modern features. We'll be rewriting the current Selenium code in Ruby to Playwright code in TypeScript, which includes updating the test framework runner, step definitions, and configurations. This is also necessary because we're moving from Cucumber Ruby to CucumberJS.

    If you're still curious about the AI in the title, it was just a way to grab your attention. Thanks for your understanding.

    Nah, let's be honest add-emoji AI helped a lot to vibe code a good part of the Ruby methods of the Test framework, moving them to Typescript, along with the migration from Capybara to Playwright. I've been using "Cline" as plugin for WebStorm IDE, using Gemini API behind it.

    Goals

    • Migrate Core tests including Onboarding of clients
    • Improve test reliabillity: Measure and confirm a significant reduction of flakiness.
    • Implement a robust framework: Establish a well-structured and reusable Playwright test framework using the CucumberJS

    Set Uyuni to manage edge clusters at scale by RDiasMateus

    Description

    Prepare a Poc on how to use MLM to manage edge clusters. Those cluster are normally equal across each location, and we have a large number of them.

    The goal is to produce a set of sets/best practices/scripts to help users manage this kind of setup.

    Goals

    step 1: Manual set-up

    Goal: Have a running application in k3s and be able to update it using System Update Controler (SUC)

    • Deploy Micro 6.2 machine

    • Deploy k3s - single node

      • https://docs.k3s.io/quick-start

    • Build/find a simple web application (static page)

      • Build/find a helmchart to deploy the application

    • Deploy the application on the k3s cluster

    • Install App updates through helm update

    • Install OS updates using MLM

    step 2: Automate day 1

    Goal: Trigger the application deployment and update from MLM

    • Salt states For application (with static data)
      • Deploy the application helmchart, if not present
      • install app updates through helmchart parameters
    • Link it to GIT
      • Define how to link the state to the machines (based in some pillar data? Using configuration channels by importing the state? Naming convention?)
      • Use git update to trigger helmchart app update
    • Recurrent state applying configuration channel?

    step 3: Multi-node cluster

    Goal: Use SUC to update a multi-node cluster.

    • Create a multi-node cluster
    • Deploy application
      • call the helm update/install only on control plane?
    • Install App updates through helm update
    • Prepare a SUC for OS update (k3s also? How?)
      • https://github.com/rancher/system-upgrade-controller
      • https://documentation.suse.com/cloudnative/k3s/latest/en/upgrades/automated.html
      • Update/deploy the SUC?
      • Update/deploy the SUC CRD with the update procedure

    Flaky Tests AI Finder for Uyuni and MLM Test Suites by oscar-barrios

    Description

    Our current Grafana dashboards provide a great overview of test suite health, including a panel for "Top failed tests." However, identifying which of these failures are due to legitimate bugs versus intermittent "flaky tests" is a manual, time-consuming process. These flaky tests erode trust in our test suites and slow down development.

    This project aims to build a simple but powerful Python script that automates flaky test detection. The script will directly query our Prometheus instance for the historical data of each failed test, using the jenkins_build_test_case_failure_age metric. It will then format this data and send it to the Gemini API with a carefully crafted prompt, asking it to identify which tests show a flaky pattern.

    The final output will be a clean JSON list of the most probable flaky tests, which can then be used to populate a new "Top Flaky Tests" panel in our existing Grafana test suite dashboard.

    Goals

    By the end of Hack Week, we aim to have a single, working Python script that:

    1. Connects to Prometheus and executes a query to fetch detailed test failure history.
    2. Processes the raw data into a format suitable for the Gemini API.
    3. Successfully calls the Gemini API with the data and a clear prompt.
    4. Parses the AI's response to extract a simple list of flaky tests.
    5. Saves the list to a JSON file that can be displayed in Grafana.
    6. New panel in our Dashboard listing the Flaky tests
