Project Description
Uyuni is the upstream community project from which the very popular SUSE Manager is derived. It uses its own QE test suite wirtten in Cucumber and Ruby. Currently the Uyuni test suite runs with Ruby 2.5.9 which is EOL since 2021. This is because the most current Ruby version for openSUSE Leap 15.4, which the test suite controller runs on, is still Ruby 2.5.9. Updating the Ruby version allows us to modernize the test suite code base and to use more recent Ruby gems that do not support the old Ruby version anymore.
After talking to Lubos about using a more recent Ruby version on Leap 15.4, he recommended to use the ones from devel:languages:ruby built in the OBS.
Goal for this Hackweek
1. Step
- update Ruby on the Uyuni test suite controller to version 3.1/3.2
- adapt the test suite code to work with the new Ruby version
2. Step
- update all used Ruby gems step by step
- adapt the test suite code to work with the updated gems. Major ones are Capybara, Cucumber and Selenium Webdriver
Bonus
- Fix new RuboCop issues when removing the TODO file

Edge Image Builder and mkosi for Uyuni by oholecek
Description
One part of Uyuni system management tool is ability to build custom images. Currently Uyuni supports only Kiwi image builder.
Kiwi however is not the only image building system out there and with the goal to also become familiar with other systems, this projects aim to add support for Edge Image builder and systemd's mkosi systems.
Goals
Uyuni is able to
- provision EIB and mkosi build hosts
- build EIB and mkosi images and store them

Saltboot ability to deploy OEM images by oholecek
Description
Saltboot is a system deployment part of Uyuni. It is the mechanism behind deploying Kiwi built system images from central Uyuni server location.
System image is when the image is only of one partition and does not contain whole disk image and deployment system has to take care of partitioning, fstab on top of integrity validation.
However systems like Aeon, SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro and similar are distributed as disk images (also so called OEM images). Saltboot currently cannot deploy these systems.
The main problem to saltboot is however that currently saltboot support is built into the image itself. This step is not desired when using OEM images.
Goals
Saltboot needs to be standalone and be able to deploy OEM images. Responsibility of saltboot would then shrink to selecting correct image, image integrity validation, deployment and boot to deployed system.

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

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.

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).
Fix RSpec tests in order to replace the ruby-ldap rubygem in OBS by enavarro_suse
Description
"LDAP mode is not official supported by OBS!". See: config/options.yml.example#L100-L102
However, there is an RSpec file which tests LDAP mode in OBS. These tests use the ruby-ldap
rubygem, mocking the results returned by a LDAP server.
The ruby-ldap
rubygem seems no longer maintaned, and also prevents from updating to a more recent Ruby version. A good alternative is to replace it with the net-ldap
rubygem.
Before replacing the ruby-ldap
rubygem, we should modify the tests so the don't mock the responses of a LDAP server. Instead, we should modify the tests and run them against a real LDAP server.
Goals
Goals of this project:
- Modify the RSpec tests and run them against a real LDAP server
- Replace the
net-ldap
rubygem with theruby-ldap
rubygem
Achieving the above mentioned goals will:
- Permit upgrading OBS from Ruby 3.1 to Ruby 3.2
- Make a step towards officially supporting LDAP in OBS.

Recipes catalog and calculator in Rails 8 by gfilippetti
My wife needs a website to catalog and sell the products of her upcoming bakery, and I need to learn and practice modern Rails. So I'm using this Hack Week to build a modern store using the latest Ruby on Rails best practices, ideally up to the deployment.
TO DO
- Index page
- Product page
- Admin area -- Supplies calculator based on orders -- Orders notification
- Authentication
- Payment
- Deployment
Day 1
As my Rails knowledge was pretty outdated and I had 0 experience with Turbo (wich I want to use in the app), I started following a turbo-rails course. I completed 5 of 11 chapters.
Day 2
Continued the course until chapter 8 and added live updates & an empty state to the app. I should finish the course on day 3 and start my own project with the knowledge from it.
Hackweek 24
For this Hackweek I'll continue this project, focusing on a Catalog/Calculator for my wife's recipes so she can use for her Café.

New migration tool for Leap by lkocman
Update
I will call a meeting with other interested people at 11:00 CET https://meet.opensuse.org/migrationtool
Description
SLES 16 plans to have no yast tool in it. Leap 16 might keep some bits, however, we need a new tool for Leap to SLES migration, as this was previously handled by a yast2-migration-sle
Goals
A tool able to migrate Leap 16 to SLES 16, I would like to cover also other scenarios within openSUSE, as in many cases users would have to edit repository files manually.
- Leap -> SLES docs
- Leap 15 -> Leap 16 (or generally within Leap releases)
- Leap -> Tumbleweed
- Leap -> Slowroll
Out of scope is any migration to an immutable system. I know Richard already has some tool for that.

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!
- Fix problems with registration on hashicorp providers registry
- Add support for fiberchannel disks
- Finish the U part of CRUD
- Move from private repos to Open Mainframe project
- Anything else as needed
Contribute to terraform-provider-libvirt by pinvernizzi
Description
The SUSE Manager (SUMA) teams' main tool for infrastructure automation, Sumaform, largely relies on terraform-provider-libvirt. That provider is also widely used by other teams, both inside and outside SUSE.
It would be good to help the maintainers of this project and give back to the community around it, after all the amazing work that has been already done.
If you're interested in any of infrastructure automation, Terraform, virtualization, tooling development, Go (...) it is also a good chance to learn a bit about them all by putting your hands on an interesting, real-use-case and complex project.
Goals
- Get more familiar with Terraform provider development and libvirt bindings in Go
- Solve some issues and/or implement some features
- Get in touch with the community around the project
Resources
- CONTRIBUTING readme
- Go libvirt library in use by the project
- Terraform plugin development

SUSE AI Meets the Game Board by moio
Use tabletopgames.ai’s open source TAG and PyTAG frameworks to apply Statistical Forward Planning and Deep Reinforcement Learning to two board games of our own design. On an all-green, all-open source, all-AWS stack!
AI + Board Games
Board games have long been fertile ground for AI innovation, pushing the boundaries of capabilities such as strategy, adaptability, and real-time decision-making - from Deep Blue's chess mastery to AlphaZero’s domination of Go. Games aren’t just fun: they’re complex, dynamic problems that often mirror real-world challenges, making them interesting from an engineering perspective.
As avid board gamers, aspiring board game designers, and engineers with careers in open source infrastructure, we’re excited to dive into the latest AI techniques first-hand.
Our goal is to develop an all-open-source, all-green AWS-based stack powered by some serious hardware to drive our board game experiments forward!
Project Goals
Set Up the Stack:
- Install and configure the TAG and PyTAG frameworks on SUSE Linux Enterprise Base Container Images.
- Integrate with the SUSE AI stack for GPU-accelerated training on AWS.
- Validate a sample GPU-accelerated PyTAG workload on SUSE AI.
- Ensure the setup is entirely repeatable with Terraform and configuration scripts, documenting results along the way.
Design and Implement AI Agents:
- Develop AI agents for the two board games, incorporating Statistical Forward Planning and Deep Reinforcement Learning techniques.
- Fine-tune model parameters to optimize game-playing performance.
- Document the advantages and limitations of each technique.
Test, Analyze, and Refine:
- Conduct AI vs. AI and AI vs. human matches to evaluate agent strategies and performance.
- Record insights, document learning outcomes, and refine models based on real-world gameplay.
Technical Stack
- Frameworks: TAG and PyTAG for AI agent development
- Platform: SUSE AI
- Tools: AWS for high-performance GPU acceleration
Why This Project Matters
This project not only deepens our understanding of AI techniques by doing but also showcases the power and flexibility of SUSE’s open-source infrastructure for supporting high-level AI projects. By building on an all-open-source stack, we aim to create a pathway for other developers and AI enthusiasts to explore, experiment, and deploy their own innovative projects within the open-source space.
Our Motivation
We believe hands-on experimentation is the best teacher.
Combining our engineering backgrounds with our passion for board games, we’ll explore AI in a way that’s both challenging and creatively rewarding. Our ultimate goal? To hack an AI agent that’s as strategic and adaptable as a real human opponent (if not better!) — and to leverage it to design even better games... for humans to play!
Saline (state deployment control and monitoring tool for SUSE Manager/Uyuni) by vizhestkov
Project Description
Saline is an addition for salt used in SUSE Manager/Uyuni aimed to provide better control and visibility for states deploymend in the large scale environments.
In current state the published version can be used only as a Prometheus exporter and missing some of the key features implemented in PoC (not published). Now it can provide metrics related to salt events and state apply process on the minions. But there is no control on this process implemented yet.
Continue with implementation of the missing features and improve the existing implementation:
authentication (need to decide how it should be/or not related to salt auth)
web service providing the control of states deployment
Goal for this Hackweek
Implement missing key features
Implement the tool for state deployment control with CLI

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)

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 :-)

Yearly Quality Engineering Ask me Anything - AMA for not-engineering by szarate
Goal
Get a closer look at how developers work on the Engineering team (R & D) of SUSE, and close the collaboration gap between GSI and Engineering
Why?
Santiago can go over different development workflows, and can do a deepdive into how Quality Engineering works (think of my QE Team, the advocates for your customers), The idea of this session is to help open the doors to opportunities for collaboration, and broaden our understanding of SUSE as a whole.
Objectives
- Give $audience a small window on how to get some questions answered either on the spot or within days of how some things at engineering are done
- Give Santiago Zarate from Quality Engineering a look into how $audience sees the engineering departments, and find out possibilities of further collaboration
How?
By running an "Ask me Anything" session, which is a format of a kind of open Q & A session, where participants ask the host multiple questions.
How to make it happen?
I'm happy to help joining a call or we can do it async (online/in person is more fun). Ping me over email-slack and lets make the magic happen!. Doesn't need to be during hackweek, but we gotta kickstart the idea during hackweek ;)
Rules
The rules are simple, the more questions the more fun it will be; while this will be only a window into engineering, it can also be the place to help all of us get to a similar level of understanding of the processes that are behind our respective areas of the organization.
Dynamics
The host will be monitoring the questions on some pre-agreed page, and try to answer to the best of their knowledge, if a question is too difficult or the host doesn't have the answer, he will do his best to provide an answer at a later date.
Atendees are encouraged to add questions beforehand; in the case there aren't any, we would be looking at how Quality Engineering tests new products or performs regression tests
Agenda
- Introduction of Santiago Zarate, Product Owner of Quality Engineering Core team
- Introduction of the Group/Team/Persons interested
- Ice breaker
- AMA time! Add your questions $PAGE
- Looking at QE Workflows: How is
- A maintenance update being tested before being released to our customers
- Products in development are tested before making it generally available
- Engineering Opportunity Board
Drag Race - comparative performance testing for pull requests by balanza
Description
«Sophia, a backend developer, submitted a pull request with optimizations for a critical database query. Once she pushed her code, an automated load test ran, comparing her query against the main branch. Moments later, she saw a new comment automatically added to her PR: the comparison results showed reduced execution time and improved efficiency. Smiling, Sophia messaged her team, “Performance gains confirmed!”»
Goals
- To have a convenient and ergonomic framework to describe test scenarios, including environment and seed;
- to compare results from different tests
- to have a GitHub action that executes such tests on a CI environment
Resources
The MVP will be built on top of Preevy and K6.
Hack on isotest-ng - a rust port of isotovideo (os-autoinst aka testrunner of openQA) by szarate
Description
Some time ago, I managed to convince ByteOtter to hack something that resembles isotovideo but in Rust, not because I believe that Perl is dead, but more because there are certain limitations in the perl code (how it was written), and its always hard to add new functionalities when they are about implementing a new backend, or fixing bugs (Along with people complaining that Perl is dead, and that they don't like it)
In reality, I wanted to see if this could be done, and ByteOtter proved that it could be, while doing an amazing job at hacking a vnc console, and helping me understand better what RuPerl needs to work.
I plan to keep working on this for the next few years, and while I don't aim for feature completion or replacing isotovideo tih isotest-ng (name in progress), I do plan to be able to use it on a daily basis, using specialized tooling with interfaces, instead of reimplementing everything in the backend
Todo
- Add
make
targets for testability, e.g "spawn qemu and type" - Add image search matching algorithm
- Add a Null test distribution provider
- Add a Perl Test Distribution Provider
- Fix unittests https://github.com/os-autoinst/isotest-ng/issues/5
- Research OpenTofu how to add new hypervisors/baremetal to OpenTofu
- Add an interface to openQA cli
Goals
- Implement at least one of the above, prepare proposals for GSoC
- Boot a system via it's BMC

Saline (state deployment control and monitoring tool for SUSE Manager/Uyuni) by vizhestkov
Project Description
Saline is an addition for salt used in SUSE Manager/Uyuni aimed to provide better control and visibility for states deploymend in the large scale environments.
In current state the published version can be used only as a Prometheus exporter and missing some of the key features implemented in PoC (not published). Now it can provide metrics related to salt events and state apply process on the minions. But there is no control on this process implemented yet.
Continue with implementation of the missing features and improve the existing implementation:
authentication (need to decide how it should be/or not related to salt auth)
web service providing the control of states deployment
Goal for this Hackweek
Implement missing key features
Implement the tool for state deployment control with CLI

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):
- Reposync (this will require using spacewalk-common-channels and adding channels to the .ini file)
- 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)
- Package management (install, remove, update...)
- Patching
- Applying any basic salt state (including a formula)
- Salt remote commands

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.
