Many of the Uyuni / SUSE Manager web UIs are still based on the no longer maintained Struts framework (version 1.2!) and implemented as JSP pages, while we added newer features based on the Spark framework and React. For me there is a vision of using only one technology stack (especially just one web framework, frontend framework and template engine) eventually, so it is about time to get rid of the old stack. While this is surely a huge effort, why not start with a new login page and then go from there rewriting other pages one by one?
Things to look at in particular:
- Replace the frame of the pages including the menus and navigation (written with JSP)
- Completely remove the Struts framework + dependencies from the project
- Remove JSP pages from the application and rewrite with reactjs one by one

Testing and adding GNU/Linux distributions on Uyuni by juliogonzalezgil
Join the Gitter channel! https://gitter.im/uyuni-project/hackweek
Uyuni is a configuration and infrastructure management tool that saves you time and headaches when you have to manage and update tens, hundreds or even thousands of machines. It also manages configuration, can run audits, build image containers, monitor and much more!
Currently there are a few distributions that are completely untested on Uyuni or SUSE Manager (AFAIK) or just not tested since a long time, and could be interesting knowing how hard would be working with them and, if possible, fix whatever is broken.
For newcomers, the easiest distributions are those based on DEB or RPM packages. Distributions with other package formats are doable, but will require adapting the Python and Java code to be able to sync and analyze such packages (and if salt does not support those packages, it will need changes as well). So if you want a distribution with other packages, make sure you are comfortable handling such changes.
No developer experience? No worries! We had non-developers contributors in the past, and we are ready to help as long as you are willing to learn. If you don't want to code at all, you can also help us preparing the documentation after someone else has the initial code ready, or you could also help with testing :-)
The idea is testing Salt (including bootstrapping with bootstrap script) and Salt-ssh clients
To consider that a distribution has basic support, we should cover at least (points 3-6 are to be tested for both salt minions and salt ssh minions):
- Reposync (this will require using spacewalk-common-channels and adding channels to the .ini file)
- Onboarding (salt minion from UI, salt minion from bootstrap scritp, and salt-ssh minion) (this will probably require adding OS to the bootstrap repository creator)
- Package management (install, remove, update...)
- Patching
- Applying any basic salt state (including a formula)
- Salt remote commands
- Bonus point: Java part for product identification, and monitoring enablement
- Bonus point: sumaform enablement (https://github.com/uyuni-project/sumaform)
- Bonus point: Documentation (https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni-docs)
- Bonus point: testsuite enablement (https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/tree/master/testsuite)
If something is breaking: we can try to fix it, but the main idea is research how supported it is right now. Beyond that it's up to each project member how much to hack :-)
- If you don't have knowledge about some of the steps: ask the team
- If you still don't know what to do: switch to another distribution and keep testing.
This card is for EVERYONE, not just developers. Seriously! We had people from other teams helping that were not developers, and added support for Debian and new SUSE Linux Enterprise and openSUSE Leap versions :-)

Kudos aka openSUSE Recognition Platform by lkocman
Description
Relevant blog post at news-o-o
I started the Kudos application shortly after Leap 16.0 to create a simple, friendly way to recognize people for their work and contributions to openSUSE. There’s so much more to our community than just submitting requests in OBS or gitea we have translations (not only in Weblate), wiki edits, forum and social media moderation, infrastructure maintenance, booth participation, talks, manual testing, openQA test suites, and more!
Goals
Kudos under github.com/openSUSE/kudos with build previews aka netlify
Have a kudos.opensuse.org instance running in production
Build an easy-to-contribute recognition platform for the openSUSE community a place where everyone can send and receive appreciation for their work, across all areas of contribution.
In the future, we could even explore reward options such as vouchers for t-shirts or other community swag, small tokens of appreciation to make recognition more tangible.

Uyuni Health-check Grafana AI Troubleshooter by ygutierrez
Description
This project explores the feasibility of using the open-source Grafana LLM plugin to enhance the Uyuni Health-check tool with LLM capabilities. The idea is to integrate a chat-based "AI Troubleshooter" directly into existing dashboards, allowing users to ask natural-language questions about errors, anomalies, or performance issues.
Goals
- Investigate if and how the
grafana-llm-appplug-in can be used within the Uyuni Health-check tool. - Investigate if this plug-in can be used to query LLMs for troubleshooting scenarios.
- Evaluate support for local LLMs and external APIs through the plugin.
- Evaluate if and how the Uyuni MCP server could be integrated as another source of information.

Set Uyuni to manage edge clusters at scale by RDiasMateus
Description
Prepare a Poc on how to use MLM to manage edge clusters. Those cluster are normally equal across each location, and we have a large number of them.
The goal is to produce a set of sets/best practices/scripts to help users manage this kind of setup.
Goals
step 1: Manual set-up
Goal: Have a running application in k3s and be able to update it using System Update Controler (SUC)
- Deploy Micro 6.2 machine
Deploy k3s - single node
- https://docs.k3s.io/quick-start
Build/find a simple web application (static page)
- Build/find a helmchart to deploy the application
Deploy the application on the k3s cluster
Install App updates through helm update
Install OS updates using MLM
step 2: Automate day 1
Goal: Trigger the application deployment and update from MLM
- Salt states For application (with static data)
- Deploy the application helmchart, if not present
- install app updates through helmchart parameters
- Link it to GIT
- Define how to link the state to the machines (based in some pillar data? Using configuration channels by importing the state? Naming convention?)
- Use git update to trigger helmchart app update
- Recurrent state applying configuration channel?
step 3: Multi-node cluster
Goal: Use SUC to update a multi-node cluster.
- Create a multi-node cluster
- Deploy application
- call the helm update/install only on control plane?
- Install App updates through helm update
- Prepare a SUC for OS update (k3s also? How?)
- https://github.com/rancher/system-upgrade-controller
- https://documentation.suse.com/cloudnative/k3s/latest/en/upgrades/automated.html
- Update/deploy the SUC?
- Update/deploy the SUC CRD with the update procedure
Enhance setup wizard for Uyuni by PSuarezHernandez
Description
This project wants to enhance the intial setup on Uyuni after its installation, so it's easier for a user to start using with it.
Uyuni currently uses "uyuni-tools" (mgradm) as the installation entrypoint, to trigger the installation of Uyuni in the given host, but does not really perform an initial setup, for instance:
- user creation
- adding products / channels
- generating bootstrap repos
- create activation keys
- ...
Goals
- Provide initial setup wizard as part of mgradm uyuni installation

openQA log viewer by mpagot
Description
*** Warning: Are You at Risk for VOMIT? ***
Do you find yourself staring at a screen, your eyes glossing over as thousands of lines of text scroll by? Do you feel a wave of text-based nausea when someone asks you to "just check the logs"?
You may be suffering from VOMIT (Verbose Output Mental Irritation Toxicity).
This dangerous, work-induced ailment is triggered by exposure to an overwhelming quantity of log data, especially from parallel systems. The human brain, not designed to mentally process 12 simultaneous autoinst-log.txt files, enters a state of toxic shock. It rejects the "Verbose Output," making it impossible to find the one critical error line buried in a 50,000-line sea of "INFO: doing a thing."
Before you're forced to rm -rf /var/log in a fit of desperation, we present the digital antacid.
No panic: we have The openQA Log Visualizer
This is the UI antidote for handling toxic log environments. It bravely dives into the chaotic, multi-machine mess of your openQA test runs, finds all the related, verbose logs, and force-feeds them into a parser.
Goals
Work on the existing POC openqa-log-visualizer about few specific tasks:
- add support for more type of logs
- extend the configuration file syntax beyond the actual one
- work on log parsing performance
Find some beta-tester and collect feedback and ideas about features
If time allow for it evaluate other UI frameworks and solutions (something more simple to distribute and run, maybe more low level to gain in performance).
