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.

Description
Create a Go-based CLI tool that helps organize files in a specified folder by sorting them into subdirectories based on defined criteria, such as file type or creation date. Users will pass a folder path as an argument, and the tool will process and organize the files within it.
Goals
- Develop Go skills by building a practical command-line application.
- Learn to manage and manipulate files and directories in Go using standard libraries.
- Create a tool that simplifies file management, making it easier to organize and maintain directories.
Resources
- Go Standard Libraries: Utilize os, filepath, and time for file operations.
- CLI Development: Use flag for basic argument parsing or consider cobra for enhanced functionality.
- Go Learning Material: Go by Example and The Go Programming Language Documentation.
Features
- File Type Sorting: Automatically move files into subdirectories based on their extensions (e.g., documents, images, videos).
- Date-Based Organization: Add an option to organize files by creation date into year/month folders.
- User-Friendly CLI: Build intuitive commands and clear outputs for ease of use. This version maintains the core idea of organizing files efficiently while focusing on Go development and practical file management.
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

Learn enough Golang and hack on CoreDNS by jkuzilek
Description
I'm implementing a split-horizon DNS for my home Kubernetes cluster to be able to access my internal (and external) services over the local network through public domains. I managed to make a PoC with the k8s_gateway plugin for CoreDNS. However, I soon found out it responds with IPs for all Gateways assigned to HTTPRoutes, publishing public IPs as well as the internal Loadbalancer ones.
To remedy this issue, a simple filtering mechanism has to be implemented.
Goals
- Learn an acceptable amount of Golang
- Implement GatewayClass (and IngressClass) filtering for k8s_gateway
- Deploy on homelab cluster
- Profit?
Resources
- https://github.com/ori-edge/k8s_gateway/issues/36

EDIT: Feature mostly complete. An unfinished PR lies here. Successfully tested working on homelab cluster.
SUSE AI Meets the Game Board by moio
Use tabletopgames.ai’s open source TAG and PyTAG frameworks to apply Statistical Forward Planning and Deep Reinforcement Learning to two board games of our own design. On an all-green, all-open source, all-AWS stack!
Results: Infrastructure Achievements
We successfully built and automated a containerized stack to support our AI experiments. This included:
- a Fully-Automated, One-Command, GPU-accelerated Kubernetes setup: we created an OpenTofu based script, tofu-tag, to deploy SUSE's RKE2 Kubernetes running on CUDA-enabled nodes in AWS, powered by openSUSE with GPU drivers and gpu-operator
- Containerization of the TAG and PyTAG frameworks: TAG (Tabletop AI Games) and PyTAG were patched for seamless deployment in containerized environments. We automated the container image creation process with GitHub Actions. Our forks (PRs upstream upcoming):
./deploy.sh
and voilà - Kubernetes running PyTAG (k9s
, above) with GPU acceleration (nvtop
, below)
Results: Game Design Insights
Our project focused on modeling and analyzing two card games of our own design within the TAG framework:
- Game Modeling: We implemented models for Dario's "Bamboo" and Silvio's "Totoro" and "R3" games, enabling AI agents to play thousands of games ...in minutes!
- AI-driven optimization: By analyzing statistical data on moves, strategies, and outcomes, we iteratively tweaked the game mechanics and rules to achieve better balance and player engagement.
- Advanced analytics: Leveraging AI agents with Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) and random action selection, we compared performance metrics to identify optimal strategies and uncover opportunities for game refinement .
- more about Bamboo on Dario's site
- more about R3 on Silvio's site (italian, translation coming)
- more about Totoro on Silvio's site
A family picture of our card games in progress. From the top: Bamboo, Totoro, R3
Results: Learning, Collaboration, and Innovation
Beyond technical accomplishments, the project showcased innovative approaches to coding, learning, and teamwork:
- "Trio programming" with AI assistance: Our "trio programming" approach—two developers and GitHub Copilot—was a standout success, especially in handling slightly-repetitive but not-quite-exactly-copypaste tasks. Java as a language tends to be verbose and we found it to be fitting particularly well.
- AI tools for reporting and documentation: We extensively used AI chatbots to streamline writing and reporting. (Including writing this report! ...but this note was added manually during edit!)
- GPU compute expertise: Overcoming challenges with CUDA drivers and cloud infrastructure deepened our understanding of GPU-accelerated workloads in the open-source ecosystem.
- Game design as a learning platform: By blending AI techniques with creative game design, we learned not only about AI strategies but also about making games fun, engaging, and balanced.
Last but not least we had a lot of fun! ...and this was definitely not a chatbot generated line!
The Context: AI + Board Games

Small healthcheck tool for Longhorn by mbrookhuis
Project Description
We have often problems (e.g. pods not starting) that are related to PVCs not running, cluster (nodes) not all up or deployments not running or completely running. This all prevents administration activities. Having something that can regular be run to validate the status of the cluster would be helpful, and not as of today do a lot of manual tasks.
As addition (read enough time), we could add changing reservation, adding new disks, etc. --> This didn't made it. But the scripts can easily be adopted.
This tool would decrease troubleshooting time, giving admins rights to the rancher GUI and could be used in automation.
Goal for this Hackweek
At the end we should have a small python tool that is doing a (very) basic health check on nodes, deployments and PVCs. First attempt was to make it in golang, but that was taking to much time.
Overview
This tool will run a simple healthcheck on a kubernetes cluster. It will perform the following actions:
node check: This will check all nodes, and display the status and the k3s version. If the status of the nodes is not "Ready" (this should be only reported), the cluster will be reported as having problems
deployment check: This check will list all deployments, and display the number of expected replicas and the used replica. If there are unused replicas this will be displayed. The cluster will be reported as having problems.
pvc check: This check will list of all pvc's, and display the status and the robustness. If the robustness is not "Healthy", the cluster will be reported as having problems.
If there is a problem registered in the checks, there will be a warning that the cluster is not healthy and the program will exit with 1.
The script has 1 mandatory parameter and that is the kubeconf of the cluster or of a node off the cluster.
The code is writen for Python 3.11, but will also work on 3.6 (the default with SLES15.x). There is a venv present that will contain all needed packages. Also, the script can be run on the cluster itself or any other linux server.
Installation
To install this project, perform the following steps:
- Create the directory /opt/k8s-check
mkdir /opt/k8s-check
- Copy all the file to this directory and make the following changes:
chmod +x k8s-check.py
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.
