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.

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

Steps
- add generic framework to handle remote ressource/filesystems to
wwctl[ ] - add iSCSI handling to
wwctl configure[ ] - add iSCSI to dracut files [ ]

Update my own python audio and video time-lapse and motion capture apps and publish by dmair
Project Description
Many years ago, in my own time, I wrote a Qt python application to periodically capture frames from a V4L2 video device (e.g. a webcam) and used it to create daily weather timelapse videos from windows at my home. I have maintained it at home in my own time and this year have added motion detection making it a functional video security tool but with no guarantees. I also wrote a linux audio monitoring app in python using Qt in my own time that captures live signal strength along with 24 hour history of audio signal level/range and audio spectrum. I recently added background noise filtering to the app. In due course I aim to include voice detection, currently I'm assuming via Google's public audio interface. Neither of these is a professional home security app but between them they permit a user to freely monitor video and audio data from a home in a manageable way. Both projects are on github but out-of-date with personal work, I would like to organize and update the github versions of these projects.
Goal for this Hackweek
It would probably help to migrate all the v4l2py module based video code to linuxpy.video based code and that looks like a re-write of large areas of the video code. It would also be good to remove a lot of python lint that is several years old to improve the projects with the main goal being to push the recent changes with better organized code to github. If there is enough time I'd like to take the in-line Qt QSettings persistent state code used per-app and write a python class that encapsulates the Qt QSettings class in a value_of(name)/name=value manner for shared use in projects so that persistent state can be accessed read or write anywhere within the apps using a simple interface.

I'm not specifically looking for help but welcome other input.
Saline (state deployment control and monitoring tool for SUSE Manager/Uyuni) by vizhestkov
Project Description
Saline is an addition for salt used in SUSE Manager/Uyuni aimed to provide better control and visibility for states deploymend in the large scale environments.
In current state the published version can be used only as a Prometheus exporter and missing some of the key features implemented in PoC (not published). Now it can provide metrics related to salt events and state apply process on the minions. But there is no control on this process implemented yet.
Continue with implementation of the missing features and improve the existing implementation:
authentication (need to decide how it should be/or not related to salt auth)
web service providing the control of states deployment
Goal for this Hackweek
Implement missing key features
Implement the tool for state deployment control with CLI

Rancher/k8s Trouble-Maker by tonyhansen
Project Description
When studying for my RHCSA, I found trouble-maker, which is a program that breaks a Linux OS and requires you to fix it. I want to create something similar for Rancher/k8s that can allow for troubleshooting an unknown environment.
Goal for this Hackweek
Create a basic framework for creating Rancher/k8s cluster lab environments as needed for the Break/Fix Create at least 5 modules that can be applied to the cluster and require troubleshooting

ddflare: (Dynamic)DNS management via Cloudflare API in Kubernetes by fgiudici
Description
ddflare is a project started a couple of weeks ago to provide DDNS management using v4 Cloudflare APIs: Cloudflare offers management via APIs and access tokens, so it is possible to register a domain and implement a DynDNS client without any other external service but their API.
Since ddflare allows to set any IP to any domain name, one could manage multiple A and ALIAS domain records. Wouldn't be cool to allow full DNS control from the project and integrate it with your Kubernetes cluster?
Goals
Main goals are:
- add containerized image for ddflare
- extend ddflare to be able to add and remove DNS records (and not just update existing ones)
- add documentation, covering also a sample pod deployment for Kubernetes
- write a ddflare Kubernetes operator to enable domain management via Kubernetes resources (using kubebuilder)
Available tasks and improvements tracked on ddflare github.

Introducing "Bottles": A Proof of Concept for Multi-Version CRD Management in Kubernetes by aruiz
Description
As we delve deeper into the complexities of managing multiple CRD versions within a single Kubernetes cluster, I want to introduce "Bottles" - a proof of concept that aims to address these challenges.
Bottles propose a novel approach to isolating and deploying different CRD versions in a self-contained environment. This would allow for greater flexibility and efficiency in managing diverse workloads.
Goals
- Evaluate Feasibility: determine if this approach is technically viable, as well as identifying possible obstacles and limitations.
- Reuse existing technology: leverage existing products whenever possible, e.g. build on top of Kubewarden as admission controller.
- Focus on Rancher's use case: the ultimate goal is to be able to use this approach to solve Rancher users' needs.
Resources
Core concepts:
- ConfigMaps: Bottles could be defined and configured using ConfigMaps.
- Admission Controller: An admission controller will detect "bootled" CRDs being installed and replace the resource name used to store them.
- Aggregated API Server: By analyzing the author of a request, the aggregated API server will determine the correct bottle and route the request accordingly, making it transparent for the user.
Migrate from Docker to Podman by tjyrinki_suse
Description
I'd like to continue my former work on containerization of several domains on a single server by changing from Docker containers to Podman containers. That will need an OS upgrade as well as Podman is not available in that old server version.
Goals
- Update OS.
- Migrate from Docker to Podman.
- Keep everything functional, including the existing "meanwhile done" additional Docker container that is actually being used already.
- Keep everything at least as secure as currently. One of the reasons of having the containers is to isolate risks related to services open to public Internet.
- Try to enable the Podman use in production.
- At minimum, learn about all of these topics.
- Optionally, improve Ansible side of things as well...
