Description

TUIs (Textual User Interface) are a big classic of our daily workflow. Many linux users 'live' in the terminal and modern implementations have a lot to offer : unicode fonts, 24 bit colors etc.

Goals

  • Explore the current available solution on modern languages and implement a PoC , for example a small maze generator, porting of a classic game or just display the HackWeek cute logo.
  • Practice some Go / Rust coding and programming patterns
  • Fiddle around, hack, learn, have fun
  • keep a development diary, practice on project documentation

      A small retrospective: this year I had quite a fun time, which was the main purpose of the project; I refreshed some Go programming and maze generation - solving algorithms ; learned about the ELM Architecture as well. Documented day by day and published video/screens of the work, also keeping a simple development diary. I consider the project finished, even it's still missing to explore the Rust options so any contribution is welcome add-emoji

    terraform-provider-feilong by e_bischoff

    Project Description

    People need to test operating systems and applications on s390 platform.

    Installation from scratch solutions include:

    • just deploy and provision manually add-emoji (with the help of ftpboot script, if you are at SUSE)
    • use s3270 terminal emulation (used by openQA people?)
    • use LXC from IBM to start CP commands and analyze the results
    • use zPXE to do some PXE-alike booting (used by the orthos team?)
    • use tessia to install from scratch using autoyast
    • use libvirt for s390 to do some nested virtualization on some already deployed z/VM system
    • directly install a Linux kernel on a LPAR and use kvm + libvirt from there

    Deployment from image solutions include:

    • use ICIC web interface (openstack in disguise, contributed by IBM)
    • use ICIC from the openstack terraform provider (used by Rancher QA)
    • use zvm_ansible to control SMAPI
    • connect directly to SMAPI low-level socket interface

    IBM Cloud Infrastructure Center (ICIC) harnesses the Feilong API, but you can use Feilong without installing ICIC, provided you set up a "z/VM cloud connector" into one of your VMs following this schema.

    What about writing a terraform Feilong provider, just like we have the terraform libvirt provider? That would allow to transparently call Feilong from your main.tf files to deploy and destroy resources on your system/z.

    Other Feilong-based solutions include:

    • make libvirt Feilong-aware
    • simply call Feilong from shell scripts with curl
    • use zvmconnector client python library from Feilong
    • use zthin part of Feilong to directly command SMAPI.

    Goal for Hackweek 23

    My final goal is to be able to easily deploy and provision VMs automatically on a z/VM system, in a way that people might enjoy even outside of SUSE.

    My technical preference is to write a terraform provider plugin, as it is the approach that involves the least software components for our deployments, while remaining clean, and compatible with our existing development infrastructure.

    Goals for Hackweek 24

    Feilong provider works and is used internally by SUSE Manager team. Let's push it forward!

    Let's add support for fiberchannel disks and multipath.

    Goals for Hackweek 25

    • Finish support for fiberchannel disks and multipath
    • Fix problems with registration on hashicorp providers registry

    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

    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


    WebUI for your data by avicenzi

    A single place to view every bit of data you have.

    Problem

    You have too much data and you are a data hoarder.

    • Family photos and videos.
    • Lots of eBooks, TV Shows, Movies, and else.
    • Boxes full of papers (taxes, invoices, IDs, certificates, exams, and else).
    • Bank account statements (multiple currencies, countries, and people).

    Maybe you have some data on S3, some on your NAS, and some on your local PC.

    • How do you get it all together?
    • How do you link a bank transaction to a product invoice?
    • How to tag any object type and create a collection out of it (mix videos, photos, PDFs, transactions)?
    • How to store this? file/folder structure does not work, everything is linked together

    Project Description

    The idea is a place where you can throw all your data, photos, videos, documents, binaries, and else.

    Create photo albums, document collections, add tags across multiple file-formats, link content, and else.

    The UI should be easy to use, where the data is not important for now (could be all S3 or local drive).

    Similar proposals

    The closest I found so far is https://perkeep.org/, but this is not what I'm looking for.

    Goal for this Hackweek

    Create a web UI, in Svelte ideally, perhaps React.

    It should be able to show photos and videos at least.

    None so far, this is just an idea.


    Contribute to terraform-provider-libvirt by pinvernizzi

    Description

    The SUSE Manager (SUMA) teams' main tool for infrastructure automation, Sumaform, largely relies on terraform-provider-libvirt. That provider is also widely used by other teams, both inside and outside SUSE.

    It would be good to help the maintainers of this project and give back to the community around it, after all the amazing work that has been already done.

    If you're interested in any of infrastructure automation, Terraform, virtualization, tooling development, Go (...) it is also a good chance to learn a bit about them all by putting your hands on an interesting, real-use-case and complex project.

    Goals

    • Get more familiar with Terraform provider development and libvirt bindings in Go
    • Solve some issues and/or implement some features
    • Get in touch with the community around the project
