an invention by amanzini
Updated 5 months ago. 9 hacker ♥️. 1 follower.

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

    Install Uyuni on Kubernetes in cloud-native way by cbosdonnat

    Description

    For now installing Uyuni on Kubernetes requires running mgradm on a cluster node... which is not what users would do in the Kubernetes world. The idea is to implement an installation based only on helm charts and probably an operator.

    Goals

    Install Uyuni from Rancher UI.

    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

    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

    iSCSI integration in Warewulf by ncuralli

    Description

    This Hackweek project aims to enhance Warewulf’s capabilities by adding iSCSI support, enabling both remote boot and flexible mounting of iSCSI devices within the filesystem. The project, which already handles NFS, DHCP, and iPXE, will be extended to offer iSCSI services as well, centralizing all necessary services for provisioning and booting cluster nodes.

    Goals

    • iSCSI Boot Option: Enable nodes to boot directly from iSCSI volumes
    • Mounting iSCSI Volumes within the Filesystem: Implement support for mounting iSCSI devices at various points within the filesystem

    Resources

    https://warewulf.org/

    Steps

    • add generic framework to handle remote ressource/filesystems to wwctl [ ]
    • add iSCSI handling to wwctl configure [ ]
    • add iSCSI to dracut files [ ]
    • test it [ ]

    OpenQA Golang api client by hilchev

    Description

    I would like to make a simple cli tool to communicate with the OpenQA API

    Goals

    • OpenQA has a ton of information that is hard to get via the UI. A tool like this would make my life easier :)
    • Would potentially make it easier in the future to make UI changes without Perl.
    • Improve my Golang skills

    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.

    Resources

    None so far, this is just an idea.

    FamilyTrip Planner: A Personalized Travel Planning Platform for Families by pherranz

    Description

    FamilyTrip Planner is an innovative travel planning application designed to optimize travel experiences for families with children. By integrating APIs for flights, accommodations, and local activities, the app generates complete itineraries tailored to each family’s unique interests and needs. Recommendations are based on customizable parameters such as destination, trip duration, children’s ages, and personal preferences. FamilyTrip Planner not only simplifies the travel planning process but also offers a comprehensive, personalized experience for families.

    Goals

    This project aims to: - Create a user-friendly platform that assists families in planning complete trips, from flight and accommodation options to recommended family-friendly activities. - Provide intelligent, personalized travel itineraries using artificial intelligence to enhance travel enjoyment and minimize time and cost. - Serve as an educational project for exploring Go programming and artificial intelligence, with the goal of building proficiency in both.

    Resources

    To develop FamilyTrip Planner, the project will leverage: - APIs such as Skyscanner, Google Places, and TripAdvisor to source real-time information on flights, accommodations, and activities. - Go programming language to manage data integration, API connections, and backend development. - Basic machine learning libraries to implement AI-driven itinerary suggestions tailored to family needs and preferences.

    Cluster API Add-on Provider for Kubewarden by csalas

    Description

    Can we integrate Kubewarden with Cluster API provisioning?

    Cluster API is a Kubernetes project focused on providing declarative APIs and tooling to simplify provisioning, upgrading, and operating multiple Kubernetes clusters. TLDR; CAPI let's you define Kubernetes clusters in plain YAML, and CAPI providers (infrastructure, control plane/bootstrap, etc.) manage provisioning and configuration for you.

    What if we could create an add-on provider that automatically installs Kubewarden and deploys Policy Servers to CAPI clusters?

    Goals

    • As a user I'd like to set a cluster (or list of clusters) and have the provider install Kubewarden for me.
    • As a user I'd like to set what policies must be enforced for a cluster (or list of clusters).
