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.

    Self-Scaling LLM Infrastructure Powered by Rancher by ademicev0

    Self-Scaling LLM Infrastructure Powered by Rancher

    logo


    Description

    The Problem

    Running LLMs can get expensive and complex pretty quickly.

    Today there are typically two choices:

    1. Use cloud APIs like OpenAI or Anthropic. Easy to start with, but costs add up at scale.
    2. Self-host everything - set up Kubernetes, figure out GPU scheduling, handle scaling, manage model serving... it's a lot of work.

    What if there was a middle ground?

    What if infrastructure scaled itself instead of making you scale it?

    Can we use existing Rancher capabilities like CAPI, autoscaling, and GitOps to make this simpler instead of building everything from scratch?

    Project Repository: github.com/alexander-demicev/llmserverless


    What This Project Does

    A key feature is hybrid deployment: requests can be routed based on complexity or privacy needs. Simple or low-sensitivity queries can use public APIs (like OpenAI), while complex or private requests are handled in-house on local infrastructure. This flexibility allows balancing cost, privacy, and performance - using cloud for routine tasks and on-premises resources for sensitive or demanding workloads.

    A complete, self-scaling LLM infrastructure that:

    • Scales to zero when idle (no idle costs)
    • Scales up automatically when requests come in
    • Adds more nodes when needed, removes them when demand drops
    • Runs on any infrastructure - laptop, bare metal, or cloud

    Think of it as "serverless for LLMs" - focus on building, the infrastructure handles itself.

    How It Works

    A combination of open source tools working together:

    Flow:

    • Users interact with OpenWebUI (chat interface)
    • Requests go to LiteLLM Gateway
    • LiteLLM routes requests to:
      • Ollama (Knative) for local model inference (auto-scales pods)
      • Or cloud APIs for fallback


    Multi-agent AI assistant for Linux troubleshooting by doreilly

    Description

    Explore multi-agent architecture as a way to avoid MCP context rot.

    Having one agent with many tools bloats the context with low-level details about tool descriptions, parameter schemas etc which hurts LLM performance. Instead have many specialised agents, each with just the tools it needs for its role. A top level supervisor agent takes the user prompt and delegates to appropriate sub-agents.

    Goals

    Create an AI assistant with some sub-agents that are specialists at troubleshooting Linux subsystems, e.g. systemd, selinux, firewalld etc. The agents can get information from the system by implementing their own tools with simple function calls, or use tools from MCP servers, e.g. a systemd-agent can use tools from systemd-mcp.

    Example prompts/responses:

    user$ the system seems slow
    assistant$ process foo with pid 12345 is using 1000% cpu ...
    
    user$ I can't connect to the apache webserver
    assistant$ the firewall is blocking http ... you can open the port with firewall-cmd --add-port ...

    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

    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.

    mgr-ansible-ssh - Intelligent, Lightweight CLI for Distributed Remote Execution by deve5h

    Description

    By the end of Hack Week, the target will be to deliver a minimal functional version 1 (MVP) of a custom command-line tool named mgr-ansible-ssh (a unified wrapper for BOTH ad-hoc shell & playbooks) that allows operators to:

    1. Execute arbitrary shell commands on thousand of remote machines simultaneously using Ansible Runner with artifacts saved locally.
    2. Pass runtime options such as inventory file, remote command string/ playbook execution, parallel forks, limits, dry-run mode, or no-std-ansible-output.
    3. Leverage existing SSH trust relationships without additional setup.
    4. Provide a clean, intuitive CLI interface with --help for ease of use. It should provide consistent UX & CI-friendly interface.
    5. Establish a foundation that can later be extended with advanced features such as logging, grouping, interactive shell mode, safe-command checks, and parallel execution tuning.

    The MVP should enable day-to-day operations to efficiently target thousands of machines with a single, consistent interface.

    Goals

    Primary Goals (MVP):

    Build a functional CLI tool (mgr-ansible-ssh) capable of executing shell commands on multiple remote hosts using Ansible Runner. Test the tool across a large distributed environment (1000+ machines) to validate its performance and reliability.

    Looking forward to significantly reducing the zypper deployment time across all 351 RMT VM servers in our MLM cluster by eliminating the dependency on the taskomatic service, bringing execution down to a fraction of the current duration. The tool should also support multiple runtime flags, such as:

    mgr-ansible-ssh: Remote command execution wrapper using Ansible Runner
    
    Usage: mgr-ansible-ssh [--help] [--version] [--inventory INVENTORY]
                       [--run RUN] [--playbook PLAYBOOK] [--limit LIMIT]
                       [--forks FORKS] [--dry-run] [--no-ansible-output]
    
    Required Arguments
    --inventory, -i      Path to Ansible inventory file to use
    
    Any One of the Arguments Is Required
    --run, -r            Execute the specified shell command on target hosts
    --playbook, -p       Execute the specified Ansible playbook on target hosts
    
    Optional Arguments
    --help, -h           Show the help message and exit
    --version, -v        Show the version and exit
    --limit, -l          Limit execution to specific hosts or groups
    --forks, -f          Number of parallel Ansible forks
    --dry-run            Run in Ansible check mode (requires -p or --playbook)
    --no-ansible-output  Suppress Ansible stdout output
    

    Secondary/Stretched Goals (if time permits):

    1. Add pretty output formatting (success/failure summary per host).
    2. Implement basic logging of executed commands and results.
    3. Introduce safety checks for risky commands (shutdown, rm -rf, etc.).
    4. Package the tool so it can be installed with pip or stored internally.

    Resources

    Collaboration is welcome from anyone interested in CLI tooling, automation, or distributed systems. Skills that would be particularly valuable include:

    1. Python especially around CLI dev (argparse, click, rich)

    Ansible to Salt integration by vizhestkov

    Description

    We already have initial integration of Ansible in Salt with the possibility to run playbooks from the salt-master on the salt-minion used as an Ansible Control node.

    In this project I want to check if it possible to make Ansible working on the transport of Salt. Basically run playbooks with Ansible through existing established Salt (ZeroMQ) transport and not using ssh at all.

    It could be a good solution for the end users to reuse Ansible playbooks or run Ansible modules they got used to with no effort of complex configuration with existing Salt (or Uyuni/SUSE Multi Linux Manager) infrastructure.

    Goals

    • [v] Prepare the testing environment with Salt and Ansible installed
    • [v] Discover Ansible codebase to figure out possible ways of integration
    • [v] Create Salt/Uyuni inventory module
    • [v] Make basic modules to work with no using separate ssh connection, but reusing existing Salt connection
    • [v] Test some most basic playbooks

    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
