ClusterOps - Easily install and manage your personal kubernetes cluster by andreabenini

Description

ClusterOps is a Kubernetes installer and operator designed to streamline the initial configuration and ongoing maintenance of kubernetes clusters. The focus of this project is primarily on personal or local installations. However, the goal is to expand its use to encompass all installations of Kubernetes for local development purposes.
It simplifies cluster management by automating tasks and providing just one user-friendly YAML-based configuration config.yml.

Overview

• Simplified Configuration: Define your desired cluster state in a simple YAML file, and ClusterOps will handle the rest.
• Automated Setup: Automates initial cluster configuration, including network settings, storage provisioning, special requirements (for example GPUs) and essential components installation.
• Ongoing Maintenance: Performs routine maintenance tasks such as upgrades, security updates, and resource monitoring.
• Extensibility: Easily extend functionality with custom plugins and configurations.
• Self-Healing: Detects and recovers from common cluster issues, ensuring stability, idempotence and reliability. Same operation can be performed multiple times without changing the result.
• Discreet: It works only on what it knows, if you are manually configuring parts of your kubernetes and this configuration does not interfere with it you can happily continue to work on several parts and use this tool only for what is needed.

Features

• distribution and engine independence. Install your favorite kubernetes engine with your package manager, execute one script and you'll have a complete working environment at your disposal.
  
• Basic config approach. One single config.yml file with configuration requirements (add/remove features): human readable, plain and simple. All fancy configs managed automatically (ingress, balancers, services, proxy, ...).
• Local Builtin ContainerHub. The default installation provides a fully configured ContainerHub available locally along with the kubernetes installation. This configuration allows the user to build, upload and deploy custom container images as they were provided from external sources. Internet public sources are still available but local development can be kept in this localhost server. Builtin ClusterOps operator will be fetched from this ContainerHub registry too.
• Kubernetes official dashboard installed as a plugin, others planned too (k9s for example).
• Kubevirt plugin installed and properly configured. Unleash the power of classic virtualization (KVM+QEMU) on top of Kubernetes and manage your entire system from there, libvirtd and virsh libs are required.
• One operator to rule them all. The installation script configures your machine automatically during installation and adds one kubernetes operator to manage your local cluster. From there the operator takes care of the cluster on your behalf.
• Clean installation and removal. Just test it, when you are done just use the same program to uninstall everything without leaving configs (or pods) behind.

Planned features (Wishlist / TODOs)

• Containerized Data Importer (CDI). Persistent storage management add-on for Kubernetes to provide a declarative way of building and importing Virtual Machine Disks on PVCs for

Mammuthus - The NFS-Ganesha inside Kubernetes controller by vcheng

Description

As the user-space NFS provider, the NFS-Ganesha is wieldy use with serval projects. e.g. Longhorn/Rook. We want to create the Kubernetes Controller to make configuring NFS-Ganesha easy. This controller will let users configure NFS-Ganesha through different backends like VFS/CephFS.

Goals

1. Create NFS-Ganesha Package on OBS: nfs-ganesha5, nfs-ganesha6
2. Create NFS-Ganesha Container Image on OBS: Image
3. Create a Kubernetes controller for NFS-Ganesha and support the VFS configuration on demand. Mammuthus

Harvester Packer Plugin by mrohrich

Description

Hashicorp Packer is an automation tool that allows automatic customized VM image builds - assuming the user has a virtualization tool at their disposal. To make use of Harvester as such a virtualization tool a plugin for Packer needs to be written. With this plugin users could make use of their Harvester cluster to build customized VM images, something they likely want to do if they have a Harvester cluster.

Goals

Write a Packer plugin bridging the gap between Harvester and Packer. Users should be able to create customized VM images using Packer and Harvester with no need to utilize another virtualization platform.

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

A CLI for Harvester by mohamed.belgaied

[comment]: # Harvester does not officially come with a CLI tool, the user is supposed to interact with Harvester mostly through the UI [comment]: # Though it is theoretically possible to use kubectl to interact with Harvester, the manipulation of Kubevirt YAML objects is absolutely not user friendly. [comment]: # Inspired by tools like multipass from Canonical to easily and rapidly create one of multiple VMs, I began the development of Harvester CLI. Currently, it works but Harvester CLI needs some love to be up-to-date with Harvester v1.0.2 and needs some bug fixes and improvements as well.

Project Description

Harvester CLI is a command line interface tool written in Go, designed to simplify interfacing with a Harvester cluster as a user. It is especially useful for testing purposes as you can easily and rapidly create VMs in Harvester by providing a simple command such as: harvester vm create my-vm --count 5 to create 5 VMs named my-vm-01 to my-vm-05.

Harvester CLI is functional but needs a number of improvements: up-to-date functionality with Harvester v1.0.2 (some minor issues right now), modifying the default behaviour to create an opensuse VM instead of an ubuntu VM, solve some bugs, etc.

Github Repo for Harvester CLI: https://github.com/belgaied2/harvester-cli

Done in previous Hackweeks

• Create a Github actions pipeline to automatically integrate Harvester CLI to Homebrew repositories: DONE
• Automatically package Harvester CLI for OpenSUSE / Redhat RPMs or DEBs: DONE

Goal for this Hackweek

The goal for this Hackweek is to bring Harvester CLI up-to-speed with latest Harvester versions (v1.3.X and v1.4.X), and improve the code quality as well as implement some simple features and bug fixes.

Some nice additions might be: * Improve handling of namespaced objects * Add features, such as network management or Load Balancer creation ? * Add more unit tests and, why not, e2e tests * Improve CI * Improve the overall code quality * Test the program and create issues for it

Issue list is here: https://github.com/belgaied2/harvester-cli/issues

Resources

The project is written in Go, and using client-go the Kubernetes Go Client libraries to communicate with the Harvester API (which is Kubernetes in fact). Welcome contributions are:

• Testing it and creating issues
• Documentation
• Go code improvement

What you might learn

Harvester CLI might be interesting to you if you want to learn more about:

• GitHub Actions
• Harvester as a SUSE Product
• Go programming language
• Kubernetes API

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

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

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 )
• Be better in naming things
