Minion, the job queue of the Mojolicious web framework, currently has to be administrated with command line tools. I want to build an Admin UI that will make the most common maintenance tasks, such as restarting a large number of failed jobs, a lot more comfortable.

need to learn more about containers

motivation

I like light weight presentation frameworks based on plain text files. There are quite some frameworks using the browser for presenting but many require a full blown web server. remark seems to be about the lightest I could find. I could make actual use of it when there would be openSUSE(/SUSE) branding.

moin, i am looking for interesting articles that describe how to refactor/maintain golang code.

Introduction

I will deploy a k8s clusters on three pine64 A+ boards, all boards are installed opensuse tumbleweed, and one as k8s-master two as k8s-minions. The whole cluster will use TLS and BRAC security mechanism.

Setup an iscsi server on minnowboard/espressobin/odroid c2 based on opensuse tumbleweed, use two Nics to support multipath Setup an iscsi initiator on odroid c2 and dm

The the LUKS UUID in /etc/crypttab. In general the file system UUID is already used in /etc/fstab. So using the LUKS UUID in /etc/crypttab is a small step towards consistency and should make the system more robust (e.g. avoid bugs like bsc #1063249).

The ZSTD is a new compression method, potential replacement for existing methods. The support has been added to linux 4.14, but the bootloader support is missing.

Build Stages

To be able to offer real Tumbleweed and a tested Leap for a Raspberry Pi3 the images for it need to be tested with openQA. Since

During my trip to and from SUSECon 2017 I had been working on a pinctrl driver for Actions Semi S500, based on a previous pinctrl driver of mine for Realtek RTD1295.

In os-autoinst and installation/bootloader_svirt.pm we currently we support only one-disk scenarios like SLES installation to disk and deployment from a disk in JeOS & CaaSP scenarios. To support RAID tests we need support of adding multiple disks to VMs. Targeting Xen and Hyper-V.

Try various container operating systems & kubernetes distributions and compare them to SUSE MicroOS and CaaSP, respectively.

In lieu of official hosting which was requested a year ago, go ahead and refactor approach to work on AWS S3. The previous approaches used either soft or hard links to avoid duplicating files that remain unchanged between snapshots, but S3 is not a file-system and does not support links. The closest comparable concept are object level redirects, but managing and creating those would be combersome, slow, and result in a higher bill. To avoid that an alternative that does not require object level redirects to simulate links, but that does not requiring duplicating files would be preferable.

Planning to do some deep learning course sessions e.g. fastai , google ML crash course etc. Also try to understand common tools (tensorflow, jupyter notebook, numpy, pandas, pytorch) and practices e.g. Convoluation neutral nets, SGD used to solve learning problems.

About 3 years ago I wrote some Python and Kivy code for my Samsung Galaxy S4 in QPython. Unfortunately, QPython updated and broke its kivy compatibility. I've been waiting for them to fix it, but mostly have given up. So instead, just investigate how to turn the kivy code into an .apk for installation on an Android device! There are directions for this on the kivy website.

Starting from prometheus ( and grafana if needed), learn how to monitor kubernetes and docker and do some valid alert/graph etc.

new hack

motivation

Lots of crucial steps in the SUSE/openSUSE product build workflow are not known or not even accessible by many people but hidden as "custom scripts" on "some machine" in the worst cases. Nowadays infrastructure and build pipelines should be written as code, e.g. in git repos, with UI frontends to show the always current state of what is going on, what needs to be done to release products, where are problems. The least we can do is learn a bit more in this direction.

Currently helpers for maintenance of SLE/openSUSE such as osc omg exist just as git repo, lets have them as packages.

The openSUSE.org official infrastructure is getting bigger and complicateder, so #microservices and #serverless FTW!

All our packages have a *.changes file and ideally that file would mention relevant changes from upstream, i.e. during version updates. Currently, we find that information manually when packaging Haskell software. This is unsatisfactory because of the sheer size of the package set and the massive number of updates we receive from Hackage. The packaging itself is completely automatic, but editing the *.changes files is not and this issue prevents us from shipping more packages in Tumbleweed and elsewhere.

In day to day job I often wait for openQA job to change a state. I plan to create chrome plugin which would allow to watch for some certain job and will send you notification when run is end.

I need to get a basic understanding about MD software RAID setup only via command line tools to be able to understand,

Explore the possibility to have a self sufficient frontend server running locally. This server would compile all the frontend code and act as a proxy/middleware pointing either for a dev ref-server or to a local SUMA instance. This way would be possible to do modifications in frontend even without having a SUMA server running locally.

Some ideas from the list:

git-deps and hatop deserve some more native packaging love.

I want to connect to matrix.org via weechat in Leap 15.0.

I want to improve myself in Perl & Mojolicious and I want to have a nice open-source self-hosted message board / forum written in Perl. Let's combined it into one ultimate goal.

Background

For testing some of the upstream Linux drivers we maintain it is necessary to emulate the hardware as we're getting bug reports for the upstream drivers but have no chance to test fixes.

Every time we went to UEFI Plugfest, one of the frequently asked questions is how to setup a PXE/HTTPBoot server. Besides, we also have to setup and test the server before the event. Although we already have the document(*), it may be easier to deploy with a container image.

I want to dive deeper into React using its Material-UI components to prototype a web interface for SUSE's new Repository Mirroring Tool (RMT).

Leap 15 and TW supports Transactional Server system role but some additional work is needed to have a transactional desktop system role.

We provide tftp server and RPMs containing the installer to run from tftp. Disadvantage is, that the user needs to setup a tftp boot system first. Why not putting everything in a container, so that the admin only need to run the container and can then choose on the to be installed machine, what he wants install? And following this, put the container in a kubernetes cluster like SUSE CaaS Platform.

Signing metadata requires a lot of manual interaction and knowledge of the customer. This was the reason why we never implemented it for SUMA as the benefit was very low.
