buit: fancy ultra fast mail client or "my local gmail"
a project by dmacvicar
Updated almost 5 years ago. 5 hacker ♥️.

My current mail setup is mu4e and emacs based mail client included with the amazing mu mail indexer. mu works similar to notmuch but allows easy bidirectional operation with the original Maildir. Add mbsync (isync) to sync imap locally and msmtp and you have a full mail setup.

The idea is to create a fancy version of this setup using a browser based application. The architecture is similar to mu4e. Instead of mu4e talking to mu-server, a small backend written in go talks to mu-server. The backend serves a javascript application and provides an HTTP API to it. The app is written in Vue.js.

The current prototype can already display the subjects of the mail as you type in the textfield. It uses plain rest for now. A Websocket would allow for progress report (but it is so fast that has not been necessary until now). The backend implements the mu-server s-exp protocol and for now exposes the cmd:find operation.

      @dmacvicar, is the prototype source hosted somewhere? If yes, is there a Getting Started in the README? I'd like to give it a try. :)

    Dartboard TUI by IValentin

    Description

    Our scalability and performance testing swiss-army knife tool Dartboard is a major WIP so why not add more scope creep? Dartboard is a cli tool which enables users to:

    • Define a "Dart" config file as YAML which defines the various components to be created/setup when Dartboard runs its commands
    • Spin up infrastructure utilizing opentofu/terraform providers
    • Setup K3s or RKE2 clusters on the newly created infrastructure
    • Deploy Rancher (with or without downstream cluster), rancher-monitoring (Grafana + Prometheus)
    • Create resources in-bulk within the newly created Rancher cluster (ConfigMaps, Secrets, Users, Roles, etc.)
    • Run various performance and scalability tests via k6
    • Export/Import various tracked metrics (WIP)

    Given all these features (and the features to come), it can be difficult to onboard and transfer knowledge of the tool. With a TUI, Dartboard's usage complexity can be greatly reduced!

    Goals

    • Create a TUI for Dartboard's "subcommands"
    • Gain more familiarity with Dartboard and create a more user-friendly interface to enable others to use it
    • Stretch Create a TUI workflow for generating a Dart file

    file-organizer: A CLI Tool for Efficient File Management by okhatavkar

    Description

    Create a Go-based CLI tool that helps organize files in a specified folder by sorting them into subdirectories based on defined criteria, such as file type or creation date. Users will pass a folder path as an argument, and the tool will process and organize the files within it.

    Goals

    • Develop Go skills by building a practical command-line application.
    • Learn to manage and manipulate files and directories in Go using standard libraries.
    • Create a tool that simplifies file management, making it easier to organize and maintain directories.

    Resources

    • Go Standard Libraries: Utilize os, filepath, and time for file operations.
    • CLI Development: Use flag for basic argument parsing or consider cobra for enhanced functionality.
    • Go Learning Material: Go by Example and The Go Programming Language Documentation.

    Features

    • File Type Sorting: Automatically move files into subdirectories based on their extensions (e.g., documents, images, videos).
    • Date-Based Organization: Add an option to organize files by creation date into year/month folders.
    • User-Friendly CLI: Build intuitive commands and clear outputs for ease of use. This version maintains the core idea of organizing files efficiently while focusing on Go development and practical file management.

    Hack on rich terminal user interfaces by amanzini

    Description

    TUIs (Textual User Interface) are a big classic of our daily workflow. Many linux users 'live' in the terminal and modern implementations have a lot to offer : unicode fonts, 24 bit colors etc.

    Goals

    • Explore the current available solution on modern languages and implement a PoC , for example a small maze generator, porting of a classic game or just display the HackWeek cute logo.
    • Practice some Go / Rust coding and programming patterns
    • Fiddle around, hack, learn, have fun
    • keep a development diary, practice on project documentation

    iSCSI integration in Warewulf by ncuralli

    Description

    This Hackweek project aims to enhance Warewulf’s capabilities by adding iSCSI support, enabling both remote boot and flexible mounting of iSCSI devices within the filesystem. The project, which already handles NFS, DHCP, and iPXE, will be extended to offer iSCSI services as well, centralizing all necessary services for provisioning and booting cluster nodes.

    Goals

    • iSCSI Boot Option: Enable nodes to boot directly from iSCSI volumes
    • Mounting iSCSI Volumes within the Filesystem: Implement support for mounting iSCSI devices at various points within the filesystem

    Resources

    https://warewulf.org/

    Steps

    • add generic framework to handle remote ressource/filesystems to wwctl [ ]
    • add iSCSI handling to wwctl configure [ ]
    • add iSCSI to dracut files [ ]
    • test it [ ]

    kubectl clone: Seamlessly Clone Kubernetes Resources Across Multiple Rancher Clusters and Projects by dpunia

    Description

    kubectl clone is a kubectl plugin that empowers users to clone Kubernetes resources across multiple clusters and projects managed by Rancher. It simplifies the process of duplicating resources from one cluster to another or within different namespaces and projects, with optional on-the-fly modifications. This tool enhances multi-cluster resource management, making it invaluable for environments where Rancher orchestrates numerous Kubernetes clusters.
