    Framework laptop integration by nkrapp

    Project Description

    Although openSUSE does run on the Framework laptops out-of-the-box, there is still room to improve the experience. The ultimate goal is to get openSUSE on the list of community supported distros

    Goal for this Hackweek

    The goal this year is to at least package all of the soft- and firmware for accessories like the embedded controller, Framework 16 inputmodule and other tools. I already made some progress by packaging the inputmodule control software, but the firmware is still missing

    Resources

    As I only have a Framework laptop 16 and not a 13 I'm looking for people with hardware that can help me test

    Progress:

    Update 1:

    The project lives under my home for now until I can get an independent project on OBS: Framework Laptop project

    Also, the first package is already done, it's the cli for the led-matrix spacer module on the Framework Laptop 16. I am also testing this myself, but any feedback or questions are welcome.

    You can test the package on the Framework 16 by adding this repo and installing the package inputmodule-control

    Update 2:

    I finished packaging the python cli/gui for the inputmodule. It is using a bit of a hack because one of the dependencies (PySimpleGUI) recently switched to a noncommercial license so I cannot ship it. But now you can actually play the games on the led-matrix (the rust package doesn't include controls for the games). I'm also working on the Framework system tools now, which should be more interesting for Framework 13 users.

    You can test the package on the Framework 16 by installing python311-framework16_inputmodule and then running "ledmatrixctl" from the command line.

    Update 3:

    I packaged the framework_tool, a general application for interacting with the system. You can find it some detailed information what it can do here. On my system everything related to the embedded controller functionality doesn't work though, so some help testing and debugging would be appreciated.

    Update 4:

    Today I finished the qmk interface, which gives you a cli (and gui) to configure your Framework 16 keyboard. Sadly the Python gui is broken upstream, but I added the qmk_hid package with the cli and from my testing it works well.

    Final Update:

    All the interesting programs are now done, I decided to exclude the firmware for now since upstream also recommends using fwupd to update it. I will hack on more things related to the Framework Laptops in the future so if there are any ideas to improve the experience (or any bugs to report) feel free to message me about it.

    As a final summary/help for everyone using a Framework Laptop who wants to use this software:

    The source code for all packages can be found in repositories in the Framework organization on Github

    All software can be installed from this repo (Tumbleweed)

    The available packages are:

    • framework-inputmodule-control (FW16) - play with the inputmodules on your Framework 16 (b1-display, led-matrix, c1-minimal)

    • python-framework16_inputmodule (FW16) - same as inputmodule-control but is needed if you want to play and crontrol the built-in games in the led-matrix (call with ledmatrixctl or ledmatrixgui)

    • framework_tool (FW13 and FW 16) - use to see and configure general things on your framework system. Commands using the embedded controller might not work, it looks like there are some problems with the kernel module used by the EC. Fixing this is out of scope for this hackweek but I am working on it

    • qmk_hid (FW16) - a cli to configure the FW16 qmk keyboard. Sadly the gui for this is broken upstream so only the cli is usable for now


    Update Haskell ecosystem in Tumbleweed to GHC-9.10.x by psimons

    Description

    We are currently at GHC-9.8.x, which a bit old. So I'd like to take a shot at the latest version of the compiler, GHC-9.10.x. This is gonna be interesting because the new version requires major updates to all kinds of libraries and base packages, which typically means patching lots of packages to make them build again.

    Goals

    Have working builds of GHC-9.10.x and the required Haskell packages in 'devel:languages:haskell` so that we can compile:

    • git-annex
    • pandoc
    • xmonad
    • cabal-install

    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

    file-organizer: A CLI Tool for Efficient File Management by okhatavkar

    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.

    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

    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
