UYUNI - synchronize content between registry servers

Updated over 2 years ago. 1 hackers ♥️. 3 followers.

Project Description

UYUNI has the ability to synchronize packages from remote locations. But doesn't have a similar solution for container images. This project aims to add a option to synchronize content between to registries using UYUNI, in a similar way we do we packages today.

If a user already has a local registry, uyuni can be used to synchronize content and work in air-gaped environments.

The goal is not to provide a registry "inside" uyuni.

@MC has developed in the past a formula with forms that deploys and configures a container registry from uyuni.

Goal for this Hackweek

Goal: Recurrently synchronize selected content from one registry to another. Code will be committed to a branch in uyuni repository: https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/

Status

We decided to create a definition of a registry synchronization project, with will have a source and target registry, and then a list of images to be synchronized. For each image we can define a list of tags and/or a regex to be applyed and select wich tags should be copied between the two registries.

With this information we can have a periodic task that will use this information and perform the synchronization using the skopeo tool

Day 1:

  • We decided to use skope to perform the operations in the remote registries
  • Add command to list all repositories in a registry: https://github.com/rjmateus/skopeo/tree/list_catalog
  • Package the latest skopeo version with the patch for list-repos: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:mcalmer/skopeo
  • Definition of the database model to save registry synchronization data between remote registries

Day 2:

  • Debase design and implementation
  • Integration with skopeo. Front-end API to
    • Get all images/repos from one registry
    • Get all image tags from one registry
  • Create a synchronization definition that can be used to synchronize content. Is the data definition of what should be synchronized
    • Front-end work started
    • XML-API and Json over HTTP API start

Day 3:

  • XML-API and Json over HTTP API in place to create and configure a synchronization unit
  • UI to manage syncronization units under development
  • Task to run the synchronization unit is now generating the yaml file needed for skopeo
    • Still missing the call to skopeo to perform the synchronization

Day 4:

  • Taskomatic task synchronizing images between registry
  • Keep working on front-end support
  • Keep working on API support to configure the synchronization task

Day 5:

  • Investigate how to deal with architectures.
  • Keep working on front-end support
  • XML-RPC and JSON over http API are finished, with full CRUD support to configure synchronization task

TODO

  • Endpoint to provide the list of available architectures for: registry+image+tag
  • Endpoint to provide image details for: registry+image+tag+architecture 
  • Support definition of the architecture to synchronize for sync project

    Move Uyuni Test Framework from Selenium to Playwright by oscar-barrios

    Description

    The goal of this project is to migrate the existing Uyuni Test Framework from using Selenium to Playwright. This migration will improve the stability, speed, and maintainability of our end-to-end tests by leveraging the modern features of Playwright. The work involves rewriting existing Selenium code in Ruby to Playwright code in TypeScript. This will include updating test framework runner, step definitions, and configurations. As we also need to move from Cucumber Ruby to CucumberJS.

    Goals

    • Migrate Core tests including Onboarding of clients
    • Improve test reliabillity: Measure and confirm a significant reduction of flakynes.
    • Implement a robust framework: Establish a well-structured and reusable Playwright test framework using the CucumberJS
