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.

    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

    GenAI-Powered Systemic Bug Evaluation and Management Assistant by rtsvetkov

    Motivation

    What is the decision critical question which one can ask on a bug? How this question affects the decision on a bug and why?

    Let's make GenAI look on the bug from the systemic point and evaluate what we don't know. Which piece of information is missing to take a decision?

    Description

    To build a tool that takes a raw bug report (including error messages and context) and uses a large language model (LLM) to generate a series of structured, Socratic-style or Systemic questions designed to guide a the integration and development toward the root cause, rather than just providing a direct, potentially incorrect fix.

    Goals

    Set up a Python environment

    Set the environment and get a Gemini API key. 2. Collect 5-10 realistic bug reports (from open-source projects, personal projects, or public forums like Stack Overflow—include the error message and the initial context).

    Build the Dialogue Loop

    1. Write a basic Python script using the Gemini API.
    2. Implement a simple conversational loop: User Input (Bug) -> AI Output (Question) -> User Input (Answer to AI's question) -> AI Output (Next Question). Code Implementation

    Socratic/Systemic Strategy Implementation

    1. Refine the logic to ensure the questions follow a Socratic and Systemic path (e.g., from symptom-> context -> assumptions -> -> critical parts -> ).
    2. Implement Function Calling (an advanced feature of the Gemini API) to suggest specific actions to the user, like "Run a ping test" or "Check the database logs."
    3. Implement Bugzillla call to collect the
    4. Implement Questioning Framework as LLVM pre-conditioning
    5. Define set of instructions
    6. Assemble the Tool

    What are Systemic Questions?

    Systemic questions explore the relationships, patterns, and interactions within a system rather than focusing on isolated elements.
    In IT, they help uncover hidden dependencies, feedback loops, assumptions, and side-effects during debugging or architecture analysis.

    Update M2Crypto by mcepl

    There are couple of projects I work on, which need my attention and putting them to shape:

    Goal for this Hackweek

    • Put M2Crypto into better shape (most issues closed, all pull requests processed)
    • More fun to learn jujutsu
    • Play more with Gemini, how much it help (or not).
    • Perhaps, also (just slightly related), help to fix vis to work with LuaJIT, particularly to make vis-lspc working.


    Try out Neovim Plugins supporting AI Providers by enavarro_suse

    Description

    Experiment with several Neovim plugins that integrate AI model providers such as Gemini and Ollama.

    Goals

    Evaluate how these plugins enhance the development workflow, how they differ in capabilities, and how smoothly they integrate into Neovim for day-to-day coding tasks.

    Background Coding Agent by mmanno

    Description

    I had only bad experiences with AI one-shots. However, monitoring agent work closely and interfering often did result in productivity gains.

    Now, other companies are using agents in pipelines. That makes sense to me, just like CI, we want to offload work to pipelines: Our engineering teams are consistently slowed down by "toil": low-impact, repetitive maintenance tasks. A simple linter rule change, a dependency bump, rebasing patch-sets on top of newer releases or API deprecation requires dozens of manual PRs, draining time from feature development.

    So far we have been writing deterministic, script-based automation for these tasks. And it turns out to be a common trap. These scripts are brittle, complex, and become a massive maintenance burden themselves.

    Can we make prompts and workflows smart enough to succeed at background coding?

    Goals

    We will build a platform that allows engineers to execute complex code transformations using prompts.

    By automating this toil, we accelerate large-scale migrations and allow teams to focus on high-value work.

    Our platform will consist of three main components:

    • "Change" Definition: Engineers will define a transformation as a simple, declarative manifest:
      • The target repositories.
      • A wrapper to run a "coding agent", e.g., "gemini-cli".
      • The task as a natural language prompt.
    • "Change" Management Service: A central service that orchestrates the jobs. It will receive Change definitions and be responsible for the job lifecycle.
    • Execution Runners: We could use existing sandboxed CI runners (like GitHub/GitLab runners) to execute each job or spawn a container.

    MVP

    • Define the Change manifest format.
    • Build the core Management Service that can accept and queue a Change.
    • Connect management service and runners, dynamically dispatch jobs to runners.
    • Create a basic runner script that can run a hard-coded prompt against a test repo and open a PR.

    Stretch Goals:

    • Multi-layered approach, Workflow Agents trigger Coding Agents:
      1. Workflow Agent: Gather information about the task interactively from the user.
      2. Coding Agent: Once the interactive agent has refined the task into a clear prompt, it hands this prompt off to the "coding agent." This background agent is responsible for executing the task and producing the actual pull request.
    • Use MCP:
      1. Workflow Agent gathers context information from Slack, Github, etc.
      2. Workflow Agent triggers a Coding Agent.
    • Create a "Standard Task" library with reliable prompts.
      1. Rebasing rancher-monitoring to a new version of kube-prom-stack
      2. Update charts to use new images
      3. Apply changes to comply with a new linter
      4. Bump complex Go dependencies, like k8s modules
      5. Backport pull requests to other branches
    • Add “review agents” that review the generated PR.

    Uyuni read-only replica by cbosdonnat

    Description

    For now, there is no possible HA setup for Uyuni. The idea is to explore setting up a read-only shadow instance of an Uyuni and make it as useful as possible.

    Possible things to look at:

    • live sync of the database, probably using the WAL. Some of the tables may have to be skipped or some features disabled on the RO instance (taskomatic, PXT sessions…)
    • Can we use a load balancer that routes read-only queries to either instance and the other to the RW one? For example, packages or PXE data can be served by both, the API GET requests too. The rest would be RW.

    Goals

    • Prepare a document explaining how to do it.
    • PR with the needed code changes to support it


    Enable more features in mcp-server-uyuni by j_renner

    Description

    I would like to contribute to mcp-server-uyuni, the MCP server for Uyuni / Multi-Linux Manager) exposing additional features as tools. There is lots of relevant features to be found throughout the API, for example:

    • System operations and infos
    • System groups
    • Maintenance windows
    • Ansible
    • Reporting
    • ...

    At the end of the week I managed to enable basic system group operations:

    • List all system groups visible to the user
    • Create new system groups
    • List systems assigned to a group
    • Add and remove systems from groups

    Goals

    • Set up test environment locally with the MCP server and client + a recent MLM server [DONE]
    • Identify features and use cases offering a benefit with limited effort required for enablement [DONE]
    • Create a PR to the repo [DONE]

    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

    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
