Ceph offers a highly scalable and fault-tolerant storage system. Samba is already capable of sharing data located on the Ceph Filesystem, however scale-out sharing (the same data exposed by multiple Samba nodes) currently requires the use of CTDB for consistent and coherent state across Samba cluster nodes. In such a setup CTDB provides a clustered database with persistent key-value data storage and locking. Database usage is abstracted out via a generic dbwrap interface.

The idea is simple. Dice is a light weight build service for KIWI images with full control over the build power by the user.

The openstack-helm project run Openstack in a Kubernetes cluster using helm charts.

RISC-V boot deep dive (Boot FLOW from 0 to Linux Kernel)

Make RISC-V boot like rest of industry U-boot for embedded, UEFI for consumer and servers

Background

A dashboard for testing and analysis xfstests results just initial this year. It has a lot of performance issues to fix, and it also needed to add more features to get usable. Also bootstrap looks very easy to use, plan to learn some frontend knowledge for fun.

Implement a Little man computer in the Go programming language.

Everybody is talking about (and with) ChatGPT. I tried it and was impressed by how well the language model behaves and finally how real and humanly it appears, despite the obvious nonsense that it outputs. I was wondering how machine learning practically works and how to build a neural network.

I want to make ruby-lint usable.

I want to create devel project for cryptocurrencies/mining tools/blockchain related stuff, fill it with packages and submit at least some of them to Tumbleweed.

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.

Project Description

Create a console application for a crossword puzzle generator that can be fed with a custom list of word+explanation pairs. It may be used by people to quickly familiarize with a specific topic (e.g. a knowledge area, new hires to the company ...) to at least understand the terminology and the abbreviations that are used. Or to just have some distraction and fun :-)

Description

For "show and tell" situations it's helpful to have a portable (set of) images available which contains SUMA Server as well as clients. The intend is to create something that can be used on a standard laptop, setup and updated before adding it to the machine, and easily be 'reset'.

Customers may face problems with their systems we weren't aware of, if we focus on testing single components. We simply can't copy each and every customer setup, but we want to have test results that are more relevant.

Some people prefer LaTeX for creating documents and presentations. The templates provided by Marketing don't include one for Beamer

Occasionally, new versions of openQA break things. How do you stop that? MORE TESTING!

Currently, opensuse-quickstart sets up a one-machine Cloud based on OpenStack, either with KVM or virtualisation. In order for bootstrapping further hosts, it would be much easier to set up only a bare-metal cloud on one machine, and PXE boot a 2nd machine via OpenStack Nova/Ironic.

Project Description

netfilter.org states that "nftables is the project that aims to replace the existing {ip,ip6,arp,eb}tables framework." The nftables kernel code was merged into the mainline kernel in January 2014. So it's time to get started with the new Linux firewall framework on openSUSE.

While osc is growing and getting more and more complex and hard to maintain, there is an object oriented rewrite of osc which key points are:

During the YCP Killer project, Y2R didn't translate most YCP operators and builtins into equivalent Ruby constructs but into library calls. This was necessary to preserve behavior in various edge-case situations, mostly when nil was passed around. The resulting code is often long and hard to work with.

Using an arduino nano, a rf23b (http://www.hoperf.com/rf/fsk_module/RFM23BP.htm) wireless module (or anything like it) and a solar panel to build a mesh network node that can be used to quickly deploy wireless networks.

Roughly follow a few selective chapters from the book 'Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn and TensorFlow'

Build Service needs an openid.

My car has it, nowadays every smartphone has it. But what's actually the math behind GPS (GLONASS) technique?

Currently I am using astroberry server for all my astroprojects. I have a spare RPi 4, so will try to install opensuse leap on it and configure it so I could use it for my astro projects.

terminal has it, git tool has it, so yast-devtools should also provide it for new rake tasks

The CRUSH algorithm determines how to store and retrieve data by computing data storage locations. CRUSH empowers Ceph clients to communicate with OSDs directly rather than through a centralized server or broker. With an algorithmically determined method of storing and retrieving data, Ceph avoids a single point of failure, a performance bottleneck, and a physical limit to its scalability. CRUSH requires a map of your cluster, and uses the CRUSH map to pseudo-randomly store and retrieve data in OSDs with a uniform distribution of data across the cluster.

I have my favorite card game from childhood . Unfortunately description is available only in Russian https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%94%D0%B5%D0%B1%D0%B5%D1%80%D1%86%D1%8C . Currently my friends spreed across the globe and here in Germany no one except my wife knows the rules . I would like to to have ability to play this game with my friends like I did in school/univercity.

If you are now thinking of Salt-SSH, this is not completely wrong, but also not right. What we are talking about here, is an other Transport for Salt, a replacement for ZeroMQ.

This project aims to run VMs in a CaaSP 4 cluster using kubevirt and a libvirt+qemu container (aka compute container) based on SLES15 SP1/2. Compute containers based on openSUSE Leap15.1 and SLES15 SP1 already available in registry.opensuse.org and registry.suse.com respectively. VMs can be deployed to the cluster but there are several functional problems that need investigating, e.g. accessing the VM's serial and VNC consoles, proper network access, etc.

Project Description

**Rescue system** has a lot of options , but most of them can only be set at boot time, first idea is too provide a way to configure them while the system is running.

With 'pint' the Public Cloud Team already provides a command line based tool to get information about the images we're hosting in the public clouds. It's provided via the Public Cloud Module in SLE as well as in the Cloud:Tools repo.

Cover more cornercases for spec-cleaner to allow the swap of formatspecfile due to its bugginess in comparsion.

This is about porting the old KDE 3 based KDirstat to the latest Qt 5. KDirStat didn't use that much KDE infrastructure to begin with, and KDE seems to be more and more a moving target.

Description

Kubernetes supports OpenID Connect (OIDC) natively as an authentication mechanism, enabling token-based user authentication. This can be configured through flags in the Kubernetes API server or by using AuthenticationConfiguration.

newburn is a system press testing tool. But it is out of maintained. And it is heavily integrated in ctcs2. So replace it with a new one.

Get openSUSE running in parallel to Android on a regular and rooted Android Smartphone. On top of this try to get a graphical desktop running using Xvnc available for Android.

While programming is occasionally a very rewarding activity, it's mostly a chore and the rest is filled with frustration. Let's teach an unsuspecting youngster program!

Give a more complete overview of the infrastructure and the processes the documentation team uses to write, maintain, and publish the documentation for the SUSE products. Add missing information/chapters to the guide.

The idea is about an easy way to allow users to make upgrades (e.g.: changing from one major version like 15.0 to version 15.1) using a GUI and as easy as they can in Ubuntu.

The next release of Ceph (Octopus) will be delivered via containers.

Apple has published the source code for their language swift. They also made the swift compiler available for Ubuntu users. Now it's time to port it to openSUSE!

"salt-toaster" allows you to test multiple Salt package flavors across different operating systems via Docker containers. This project is heavily used on the SUSE Manager team to hardening the Salt package that is shipped on the openSUSE/SLE distributions. Link to GitHub repository

Project Description

Update the physical KubeVirt+Kubernetes test cluster in Provo from SLES15 SP2 and CaaSP to SLES15 SP3 and Rancher's k3s. This will allow us to easily experiment and test Harvester.

It would be nice to have trendy and hip editor [0] in openSUSE. Currently however some nodejs dependencies are missing.

zypp-closure is a small helper tool making use of libzypp and the metadata of product repositories.

The SMBus standard specifies an address resolution protocol (SMBus ARP.) It has two key features :

Each of the core dump upload servers in Europe and USA could be improved if the shell scripts were combined so that the same tasks can be performed on each site, e.g. downloading of all packages needed for crash usage with a specified core dump by allowing for configurable (or even automated) selection of locations to obtain data packages from.

Sonnenhut is a simple Pythong web app that provides basic info useful for planning photographic activities. The current iteration does the job, but it can be improved and extended in a number of ways.

Compared with traditional file systems (e.g. EXT4, XFS), log-structured file systems treat its storage as a circular log and write sequentially to the head of the log. I want to learn about this kind of file system via this hack week, to understand how it manages its data and metadata, to understand how it recover back from crash, to understand its advantages and disadvantages.

There are several popular ways of controlling home automation with voice today. Amazon Echo and Google Home both allow users to control lights, speakers, etc. with a simple voice command.

Read in a crash or oops-style backtrace and access DWARF information to output the current content of the stack and registers in term of symbols, and the the crash commands to dump/pretty print them. In other words, when looking at a crash dump, answer the questions "Which variable is currently stored in $rax? What is the structure of the stack? Which variable is stored at $rsp+16?"

Using dynaname it is already possible to securely auto-update DNS records in a bind9, but this still needs a linux machine. This project is about building a CGI frontend for it that makes it a replacement for the discontinued dyndns.org service.

To say it's a review, it's better to say it's a good way to learn from others. I'll review test scripts in openQA project as much as I can, digest them and learn how to write Perl script more pretty. I'll make some notes for sharing.

Distributed teams, cultural differences, expectations and habits are a natural enemy of vibrant, productive meetings (yes, meetings can be productive!). In this project I'd like to work on a different format and targeted exercises to provide ideas and a resource library to anyone interested in spicing up stale meetings.

Description

Docker and Docker Desktop are the tools of choice for most of developers when it comes to container runtime and management in local environments. Both have been out there for many years, and users are well familiarized with them, so both are great catalysts for adopting new solutions.

The libvirt TCK provides a framework for performing testing of the integration between libvirt drivers, the underlying virt hypervisor technology, related operating system services and system configuration. The idea (and name) is motivated by the Java TCK.
