Rancher Support Matrix CLI Helper
A tool to bring the Rancher Support Matrix info into your CLI.
> Update: This project was not completed during hackweek 22, however will still continue development as possible and our team is excited to continue the efforts next year! We did make significant progress on both: a) producing a JSON static API scheme and b) a system to store the Rancher release version support information.
Project Description
The goal of this tool (for V1) is quite simply to pull up the Support Matrix info based on user input.
Project Components
CLI Tool - GoLang
This is the meat and potatoes of the Hackweek project. The other parts are important, but are all a means to this end.
The goal is to build it in Go so as to provide a native binary for each platform. This also keeps things close to K8s and Rancher, as opposed to Rust or other popular CLI languages.
Support Matrix Structured Data/API
This component is the data backing the CLI tool - it will be provided as a blob of structured data hosted on GH pages.
In a strict sense this (mostly) static data will function as if it were an API - however it is not interactive at all. It will simply be a statically rendered blob of data hosted online. So only pure GET requests rather than all the HTTP verbs like a true API. The final Scheme of this "API" has not been decided yet - however it will be informed by the needs of the CLI tool.
Matrix Refresh Tool
This component will be used to keep the publish Support Matrix Structured Data fresh and in sync.
Currently the data is not published in a way that is structured. This means we need to either: a) manually massage the data into the right formats, or b) create a system to sync that information. This tool is currently the furthest developed part of the project - having a mostly working proof of concept completed.
It is unlikely that this tool will be published in the open. It merely exists as an "internal" tool to facilitate publishing the data in a structured way. Similarly, this tool is least likely to need collaboration for Hackweek as the other components are the real goal.
Inspiration
As a Premium Support Engineer focused on Rancher we often need to review the support matrix. This is critical to ensure the Rancher instance is properly configured within the expected versions. While doing this via the webpage is fine, as tech staff we often spend a lot of time in CLIs. To that end bringing this essential tool even closer to our "main workflows" is a no brainer.
Mentioned above, the initial goal of hack week is simply to provide the information via CLI report. While more could potentially be achieved within Hackweek, this conservative goal was selected to allow enough time to organize the data at hand. The project will be in much better footing when this data is organized and refresh methods established.
Down the road it can be expanded to provide more functionality. E.g. Validation mode - enter all the versions in use and it will highlight potential issues, Upgrade Path - input current versions and desired Rancher version.
Goal for this Hackweek
- Establish a structured data source for Support Matrix,
- Publish (to GitHub pages) the structured data version of Support Matrix,
- Create a (golang) CLI tool to provide Support matrix info.
Resources
- Support Matrix Pages - The data we're structuring.
- Kontainer Metadata - Used by rancher internally, mainly for downstream clusters.
- Rancher Support Matrix API GH Pages - Eventual location of "api".

Just wanted to give a brief update on the progress as it's mid-week already.
Ian and Myself have been working together on the design for the "structured data" version of the matrix. Our hope is that we will be able to land on a good format to export that as and publish a few versions worth of the data. Then start working on the golang CLI client that is the "real end goal".
Even though these parts I've been working on are just "bootstrap" work to get the CLI project started it's been great learning. I've updated the project info a bit to reflect some changes. I also published a mermaidjs diagram of the DB design being used for the CLI import tool here - https://gist.github.com/mallardduck/6bc19ed05029132370b8dda6b603f99e.

Here is an example of the API we created for the "index":
○ → curl http://rancher-support-matrix-full.test/ |jq { "about": "This is a static API that contains the Support information for Rancher releases!", "base_url": "http://rancher-support-matrix-full.test", "routes": { "api.rancherRelease": "api/release/{rancherRelease}.json", "api.rancherRelease.rkeK8sRuntimes": "api/release/{rancherRelease}/RkeK8sRuntimes.json", "api.rancherRelease.rkeK8sRuntimePair": "api/release/{rancherRelease}/RkeK8sRuntimePair.json", "api.rancherRelease.rkeDistroVersionDockerPair": "api/release/{rancherRelease}/RkeDistroVersionDockerPair.json", "api.rancherRelease.hostedRuntimes": "api/release/{rancherRelease}/HostedRuntimeVersions.json" }, "rancherReleases": [ { "data": { "version": "2.6.3" }, "links": { "self": "http://rancher-support-matrix-full.test/api/release/2.6.3.json" } } ] } -

Enabling Rancher as an OIDC Provider by rcabello
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.
The purpose of this project is to enable Rancher to function as an OIDC provider, allowing Rancher's local cluster to act as an OIDC identity provider for downstream clusters. This setup will allow users to authenticate directly with downstream clusters without relying on Rancher’s proxy and impersonation mechanisms.
Rancher will continue to support all authentication providers. When a user attempts to log in via the Rancher OIDC provider, they will be redirected to the authentication provider configured in Rancher.
This approach also facilitates integration with third-party tools (e.g StackState)
Goals
- Implement Rancher as an OIDC provider using the ORY Fosite library, focusing only on the essential functionality required for basic integration.
- Enable downstream clusters to authenticate using JWT tokens issued by Rancher.
- Configure StackState to authenticate using Rancher as an OIDC provider.

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:
- Add more Unit Tests
- Improve Status Conditions for some phases
- Add cloud provider config generation
- Testing with Harvester v1.3.2
- Template improvements
- Issues creation
Thanks to @isim and Dominic Giebert for their contributions!

Rancher microfrontend extensions by ftorchia
Description
Rancher UI Extensions allow users, developers, partners, and customers to extend and enhance the Rancher UI. Extensions are Helm charts that can only be installed once into a cluster. The charts contain a UI built package that is downloaded and linked to the Host UI at runtime; this means that the extension pkg needs to be implemented using the same technology and have the same APIs as Rancher UI.
Goals
We want to create a new type of Rancher extension, based on microfrontend pattern. The extension is served in a docker container in the k8s clusters and embedded in the host UI; this would guarantee us to be able to create extensions unrelated to the rancher UI architecture, in any technology.
Non Goals
We want to apply the microfrontend pattern to the product-level extensions; we don't want to apply it to cluster-level extensions.

CVE portal for SUSE Rancher products by gmacedo
Description
Currently it's a bit difficult for users to quickly see the list of CVEs affecting images in Rancher, RKE2, Harvester and Longhorn releases. Users need to individually look for each CVE in the SUSE CVE database page - https://www.suse.com/security/cve/ . This is not optimal, because those CVE pages are a bit hard to read and contain data for all SLE and BCI products too, making it difficult to easily see only the CVEs affecting the latest release of Rancher, for example. We understand that certain costumers are only looking for CVE data for Rancher and not SLE or BCI.
Goals
The objective is to create a simple to read and navigate page that contains only CVE data related to Rancher, RKE2, Harvester and Longhorn, where it's easy to search by a CVE ID, an image name or a release version. The page should also provide the raw data as an exportable CSV file.
It must be an MVP with the minimal amount of effort/time invested, but still providing great value to our users and saving the wasted time that the Rancher Security team needs to spend by manually sharing such data. It might not be long lived, as it can be replaced in 2-3 years with a better SUSE wide solution.
Resources
- The page must be simple and easy to read.
- The UI/UX must be as straightforward as possible with minimal visual noise.
- The content must be created automatically from the raw data that we already have internally.
- It must be updated automatically on a daily basis and on ad-hoc runs (when needed).
- The CVE status must be aligned with VEX.
- The raw data must be exportable as CSV file.
- Ideally it will be written in Go or pure Shell script with basic HTML and no external dependencies in CSS or JS.

suse-rancher-supportconfig by eminguez
Description
Update: Live at https://github.com/e-minguez/suse-rancher-supportconfig
I finally didn't used golang but used gum instead 
SUSE's supportconfig support tool collects data from the SUSE Operating system. Rancher's rancher2_logs_collector.sh support tool does the same for RKE2/K3s.
Wouldn't be nice to have a way to run both and collect all data for SUSE based RKE2/K3s clusters? Wouldn't be even better with a fancy TUI tool like bubbletea?
Ideally the output should be an html page where you can see the logs/data directly from the browser.
Goals
- Familiarize myself with both
supportconfigandrancher2_logs_collector.shtools - Refresh my golang knowledge
- Have something that works at the end of the hackweek ("works" may vary )
- Be better in naming things

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

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

To develop FamilyTrip Planner, the project will leverage: - APIs such as Skyscanner, Google Places, and TripAdvisor to source real-time information on flights, accommodations, and activities. - Go programming language to manage data integration, API connections, and backend development. - Basic machine learning libraries to implement AI-driven itinerary suggestions tailored to family needs and preferences.
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.

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.
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
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.

Install Uyuni on Kubernetes in cloud-native way by cbosdonnat
Description
For now installing Uyuni on Kubernetes requires running mgradm on a cluster node... which is not what users would do in the Kubernetes world. The idea is to implement an installation based only on helm charts and probably an operator.
Goals
Install Uyuni from Rancher UI.
