Description
As the user-space NFS provider, the NFS-Ganesha is wieldy use with serval projects. e.g. Longhorn/Rook. We want to create the Kubernetes Controller to make configuring NFS-Ganesha easy. This controller will let users configure NFS-Ganesha through different backends like VFS/CephFS.
Goals
- Create NFS-Ganesha Package on OBS: nfs-ganesha5, nfs-ganesha6
- Create NFS-Ganesha Container Image on OBS: Image
- Create a Kubernetes controller for NFS-Ganesha and support the VFS configuration on demand. Mammuthus

Harvester Packer Plugin by mrohrich
Description
Hashicorp Packer is an automation tool that allows automatic customized VM image builds - assuming the user has a virtualization tool at their disposal. To make use of Harvester as such a virtualization tool a plugin for Packer needs to be written. With this plugin users could make use of their Harvester cluster to build customized VM images, something they likely want to do if they have a Harvester cluster.
Goals
Write a Packer plugin bridging the gap between Harvester and Packer. Users should be able to create customized VM images using Packer and Harvester with no need to utilize another virtualization platform.

WebUI for your data by avicenzi
A single place to view every bit of data you have.
Problem
You have too much data and you are a data hoarder.
- Family photos and videos.
- Lots of eBooks, TV Shows, Movies, and else.
- Boxes full of papers (taxes, invoices, IDs, certificates, exams, and else).
- Bank account statements (multiple currencies, countries, and people).
Maybe you have some data on S3, some on your NAS, and some on your local PC.
- How do you get it all together?
- How do you link a bank transaction to a product invoice?
- How to tag any object type and create a collection out of it (mix videos, photos, PDFs, transactions)?
- How to store this? file/folder structure does not work, everything is linked together
Project Description
The idea is a place where you can throw all your data, photos, videos, documents, binaries, and else.
Create photo albums, document collections, add tags across multiple file-formats, link content, and else.
The UI should be easy to use, where the data is not important for now (could be all S3 or local drive).
Similar proposals
The closest I found so far is https://perkeep.org/, but this is not what I'm looking for.
Goal for this Hackweek
Create a web UI, in Svelte ideally, perhaps React.
It should be able to show photos and videos at least.
Resources
None so far, this is just an idea.
terraform-provider-feilong by e_bischoff
Project Description
People need to test operating systems and applications on s390 platform.
Installation from scratch solutions include:
- just deploy and provision manually
(with the help of
ftpboot
script, if you are at SUSE) - use
s3270
terminal emulation (used byopenQA
people?) - use
LXC
from IBM to start CP commands and analyze the results - use
zPXE
to do some PXE-alike booting (used by theorthos
team?) - use
tessia
to install from scratch using autoyast - use
libvirt
for s390 to do some nested virtualization on some already deployed z/VM system - directly install a Linux kernel on a LPAR and use
kvm
+libvirt
from there
Deployment from image solutions include:
- use
ICIC
web interface (openstack
in disguise, contributed by IBM) - use
ICIC
from theopenstack
terraform
provider (used byRancher
QA) - use
zvm_ansible
to controlSMAPI
- connect directly to
SMAPI
low-level socket interface
IBM Cloud Infrastructure Center (ICIC
) harnesses the Feilong API, but you can use Feilong
without installing ICIC
, provided you set up a "z/VM cloud connector" into one of your VMs following this schema.
What about writing a terraform Feilong
provider, just like we have the terraform
libvirt
provider? That would allow to transparently call Feilong
from your main.tf files to deploy and destroy resources on your system/z.
Other Feilong-based solutions include:
- make
libvirt
Feilong-aware - simply call
Feilong
from shell scripts withcurl
- use
zvmconnector
client python library from Feilong - use
zthin
part of Feilong to directly commandSMAPI
.
Goal for Hackweek 23
My final goal is to be able to easily deploy and provision VMs automatically on a z/VM system, in a way that people might enjoy even outside of SUSE.
My technical preference is to write a terraform provider plugin, as it is the approach that involves the least software components for our deployments, while remaining clean, and compatible with our existing development infrastructure.
Goals for Hackweek 24
Feilong provider works and is used internally by SUSE Manager team. Let's push it forward!
Let's add support for fiberchannel disks and multipath.
Goals for Hackweek 25
- Finish support for fiberchannel disks and multipath
- Fix problems with registration on hashicorp providers registry
Integrate Backstage with Rancher Manager by nwmacd
Description
Backstage (backstage.io) is an open-source, CNCF project that allows you to create your own developer portal. There are many plugins for Backstage.
This could be a great compliment to Rancher Manager.
Goals
Learn and experiment with Backstage and look at how this could be integrated with Rancher Manager. Goal is to have some kind of integration completed in this Hack week.
Progress
Screen shot of home page at the end of Hackweek:
Day One
- Got Backstage running locally, understanding configuration with HTTPs.
- Got Backstage embedded in an IFRAME inside of Rancher
- Added content into the software catalog (see: https://backstage.io/docs/features/techdocs/getting-started/)
- Understood more about the entity model
Day Two
- Connected Backstage to the Rancher local cluster and configured the Kubernetes plugin.
- Created Rancher theme to make the light theme more consistent with Rancher
Days Three and Day Four
Created two backend plugins for Backstage:
- Catalog Entity Provider - this imports users from Rancher into Backstage
- Auth Provider - uses the proxied sign-in pattern to check the Rancher session cookie, to user that to authenticate the user with Rancher and then log them into Backstage by connecting this to the imported User entity from the catalog entity provider plugin.
With this in place, you can single-sign-on between Rancher and Backstage when it is deployed within Rancher. Note this is only when running locally for development at present
Day Five
- Start to build out a production deployment for all of the above
- Made some progress, but hit issues with the authentication and proxying when running proxied within Rancher, which needs further investigation

Learn enough Golang and hack on CoreDNS by jkuzilek
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.
To remedy this issue, a simple filtering mechanism has to be implemented.
Goals
- Learn an acceptable amount of Golang
- Implement GatewayClass (and IngressClass) filtering for k8s_gateway
- Deploy on homelab cluster
- Profit?
Resources
- https://github.com/ori-edge/k8s_gateway/issues/36
- https://github.com/coredns/coredns/issues/2465#issuecomment-593910983
EDIT: Feature mostly complete. An unfinished PR lies here. Successfully tested working on homelab cluster.
