    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

    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.

    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.

    asciicast

    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


    Hack on rich terminal user interfaces by amanzini

    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

    Cluster API Provider for Harvester by rcase

    Project Description

    The Cluster API "infrastructure provider" for Harvester, also named CAPHV, makes it possible to use Harvester with Cluster API. This enables people and organisations to create Kubernetes clusters running on VMs created by Harvester using a declarative spec.

    The project has been bootstrapped in HackWeek 23, and its code is available here.

    Work done in HackWeek 2023

    • Have a early working version of the provider available on Rancher Sandbox : *DONE *
    • Demonstrated the created cluster can be imported using Rancher Turtles: DONE
    • Stretch goal - demonstrate using the new provider with CAPRKE2: DONE and the templates are available on the repo

    Goals for HackWeek 2024

    • Add support for ClusterClass
    • Add e2e testing
    • Add more Unit Tests
    • Improve Status Conditions to reflect current state of Infrastructure
    • Improve CI (some bugs for release creation)
    • Testing with newer Harvester version (v1.3.X and v1.4.X)
    • Due to the length and complexity of the templates, maybe package some of them as Helm Charts.
    • Other improvement suggestions are welcome!

    DONE in HackWeek 24:

    Thanks to @isim and Dominic Giebert for their contributions!

    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).

    • Kubewarden: https://docs.kubewarden.io/


    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.
