Project Description

Goal is to write a salt formula for setup a uyuni proxy.

Goal for this Hackweek

  1. Learn about salt formula
  2. setup a uyuni proxy using a salt formula
  3. if there's still time, write also a salt formula for setup a containerized uyuni proxy using a salt formula

Resources

Current uyuni proxy setup procedure: https://www.uyuni-project.org/uyuni-docs/en/uyuni/installation-and-upgrade/uyuni-proxy-setup.html

    Enable the containerized Uyuni server to run on different host OS by j_renner

    Description

    The Uyuni server is provided as a container, but we still require it to run on Leap Micro? This is not how people expect to use containerized applications, so it would be great if we tested other host OSs and enabled them by providing builds of necessary tools for (e.g. mgradm). Interesting candidates should be:

    • openSUSE Leap
    • Cent OS 7
    • Ubuntu
    • ???

    Goals

    Make it really easy for anyone to run the Uyuni containerized server on whatever OS they want (with support for containers of course).


    Create SUSE Manager users from ldap/ad groups by mbrookhuis

    Description

    This tool is used to create users in SUSE Manager Server based on LDAP/AD groups. For each LDAP/AD group a role within SUSE Manager Server is defined. Also, the tool will check if existing users still have the role they should have, and, if not, it will be corrected. The same for if a user is disabled, it will be enabled again. If a users is not present in the LDAP/AD groups anymore, it will be disabled or deleted, depending on the configuration.

    The code is written for Python 3.6 (the default with SLES15.x), but will also work with newer versions. And works against SUSE Manger 4.3 and 5.x

    Goals

    Create a python and/or golang utility that will manage users in SUSE Manager based on LDAP/AD group-membership. In a configuration file is defined which roles the members of a group will get.

    Installation

    To install this project, perform the following steps:

    • Be sure that python 3.6 is installed and also the module python3-PyYAML. Also the ldap3 module is needed:

    bash zypper in python3 python3-PyYAML pip install yaml

    • On the server or PC, where it should run, create a directory. On linux, e.g. /opt/sm-ldap-users

    • Copy all the file to this directory.

    • Edit the configsm.yaml. All parameters should be entered. Tip: for the ldap information, the best would be to use the same as for SSSD.

    • Be sure that the file sm-ldap-users.py is executable. It would be good to change the owner to root:root and only root can read and execute:

    bash chmod 600 * chmod 700 sm-ldap-users.py chown root:root *

    Usage

    This is very simple. Once the configsm.yaml contains the correct information, executing the following will do the magic:

    bash /sm-ldap-users.py

    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 and Salt-ssh clients, but NOT traditional clients, which are deprecated.

    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):

    1. Reposync (this will require using spacewalk-common-channels and adding channels to the .ini file)
    2. 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)
    3. Package management (install, remove, update...)
    4. Patching
    5. Applying any basic salt state (including a formula)
    6. Salt remote commands
    7. Bonus point: Java part for product identification, and monitoring enablement
    8. Bonus point: sumaform enablement (https://github.com/uyuni-project/sumaform)
    9. Bonus point: Documentation (https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni-docs)
    10. 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 :-)

    FUSS

    FUSS is a complete GNU/Linux solution (server, client and desktop/standalone) based on Debian for managing an educational network.

    https://fuss.bz.it/

    Seems to be a Debian 12 derivative, so adding it could be quite easy.

    • [W] Reposync (this will require using spacewalk-common-channels and adding channels to the .ini file)
    • [W] Onboarding (salt minion from UI, salt minion from bootstrap script, and salt-ssh minion) (this will probably require adding OS to the bootstrap repository creator) --> Working for all 3 options (salt minion UI, salt minion bootstrap script and salt-ssh minion from the UI).
    • [W] Package management (install, remove, update...) --> Installing a new package works, needs to test the rest.
    • [I] Patching (if patch information is available, could require writing some code to parse it, but IIRC we have support for Ubuntu already). No patches detected. Do we support patches for Debian at all?
    • [W] Applying any basic salt state (including a formula)
    • [W] Salt remote commands

    Automated Test Report reviewer by oscar-barrios

    Description

    In SUMA/Uyuni team we spend a lot of time reviewing test reports, analyzing each of the test cases failing, checking if the test is a flaky test, checking logs, etc.

    Goals

    Speed up the review by automating some parts through AI, in a way that we can consume some summary of that report that could be meaningful for the reviewer.

    Resources

    No idea about the resources yet, but we will make use of:

    • HTML/JSON Report (text + screenshots)
    • The Test Suite Status GithHub board (via API)
    • The environment tested (via SSH)
    • The test framework code (via files)


    Improve Development Environment on Uyuni by mbussolotto

    Description

    Currently create a dev environment on Uyuni might be complicated. The steps are:

    • add the correct repo
    • download packages
    • configure your IDE (checkstyle, format rules, sonarlint....)
    • setup debug environment
    • ...

    The current doc can be improved: some information are hard to be find out, some others are completely missing.

    Dev Container might solve this situation.

    Goals

    Uyuni development in no time:

    • using VSCode:
      • setting.json should contains all settings (for all languages in Uyuni, with all checkstyle rules etc...)
      • dev container should contains all dependencies
      • setup debug environment
    • implement a GitHub Workspace solution
    • re-write documentation

    Lots of pieces are already implemented: we need to connect them in a consistent solution.
