OpenRC in openSUSE by jimedrand

Description

I have been using openSUSE for 3 years and I am just seen the systemd as init system. Actually, I want to make openSUSE with supports to another init such as OpenRC init that I'm always using it in another distros, and I was think, "what about if I'm including OpenRC init in openSUSE and give anyone as second way for them who don't want to use systemd?", and I'm curious about that. That's why I'm opening these.

Goals

Giving OpenRC support for Tumbleweed first, then going in Leap in future if possible.

SUSE Health Check Tools by roseswe

SUSE HC Tools Overview

A collection of tools written in Bash or Go 1.24++ to make life easier with handling of a bunch of tar.xz balls created by supportconfig.

Background: For SUSE HC we receive a bunch of supportconfig tar balls to check them for misconfiguration, areas for improvement or future changes.

Main focus on these HC are High Availability (pacemaker), SLES itself and SAP workloads, esp. around the SUSE best practices.

Goals

• Overall improvement of the tools
• Adding new collectors
• Add support for SLES16

SUSE KVM Best Practices - Focus on SAP Workloads and Use Cases by roseswe

Description

SUSE Best Practices around KVM, especially for SAP workloads. Early Google presentation already made from various customer projects and SUSE sources.

Goals

• Complete presentation we can reuse in SUSE Consulting projects
• 2025: Bring it to version 1.00 ready for customers

MCP Server for SCC by digitaltomm

Description

Provide an MCP Server implementation for customers to access data on scc.suse.com via MCP protocol. Similar to the organization APIs, this can expose to customers data about their subscriptions, orders, systems and products. Authentication should be done by organization credentials, similar to what needs to be provided to RMT/MLM. Customers can connect to the SCC MCP server from their own MCP-compatible client and Large Language Model (LLM), so no third party is involved.

Goals

We want to demonstrate a proof of concept to connect to the SCC MCP server with any AI agent, for example gemini-cli or codex. Enabling the user to ask questions regarding their SCC inventory.

For this Hackweek, we target that users get proper responses to these example questions:

• Which of my currently active systems are running products that are out of support?
• Do I have unused registration codes for SLES?
• What are the latest released patches for SLES 15SP7?
• Which versions of kernel-default are available on SLES 16.0?

Milestones

[x] Basic MCP API setup
  MCP endpoints
  [ ] Products / Repositories
  [x] Subscriptions / Orders 
  [x] Systems
  [x] Packages
[ ] Document usage with Gemini CLI, Codex

Resources

• fast_mcp library for Rails
• MCP test client
• SCC branch

Gemini CLI setup:

~/.gemini/settings.json:

{  
 "mcpServers": {  
   "SCC local http": {  
     "httpUrl": "http://localhost:3000/mcp",  
     "note": "MCP server for SUSE Customer Center"  
   }

Extracting, converting and importing VMs from Nutanix into SUSE Virtualization by emendonca

Description

The idea is to delve into understanding Nutanix AHV internals on how it stores and runs VMs, and how to extract them in an automated way for importing into a KVM-compatible hypervisor, like SUSE Virtualization/Harvester. The final product will be not only be documentation, but a working prototype that can be used to automate the process.

Goals

1) document how to create a simple lab with NutaniX AHV community edition 2) determine the basic elements we need to interact with 3) determine what are the best paths to grab the images through, balancing speed and complexity 4) document possible issues and create a roadmap for tackling them 4) should we adapt an existing solution or implement a new one? 5) implement the solution!

Create openSUSE images for Arm and RISC-V boards by avicenzi

Project Description

Create openSUSE images (or test generic EFI images) for Arm and RISC-V boards that are not yet supported.

Goal for Hackweek

Create bootable images of Tumbleweed for SBCs that currently have no images available or are untested.

Consider generic EFI images where possible, as some boards can hold a bootloader.

Document in the openSUSE Wiki how to flash and use the image for a given board.
