Project Description

I want for long time to get my hands dirty with go and webassembly. we have (openqa-mon)[https://github.com/grisu48/openqa-mon] which is a monitoring tool for OpenQA. The aiming is to learn a bit more about those tools and convert the project in webassembly

Goal for this Hackweek

  • Make openqa-mon a webapp

During the process i believe i can also:

  • identify future features
  • Make documentation
  • write some tests for openqa-mon(??)

Resources

  • https://github.com/grisu48/openqa-mon
  • https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/WebAssembly#getting-started

Looking for hackers with the skills:

webassembly go golang web javascript

      Love it! Let me know if I can help you with openqa-mon tests, PR are much appreciated there! add-emoji

      So the results were not the expected but i guess i learned a few things during this. briefly, the implementation of openqa-mon uses syscall library. this alone was enough to block the idea as it will require significant changes to get accomplished. Particularly, the dependency on Tui.go should be altered or removed. The submodule syscall/js provides some access to the WebAssembly host environment when using the js/wasm architecture. The attempt to use this ended with massive changes either to tui.go or/and openqa-mon.go. With those changes in place and a bit of javascript, an openqa-mon in webassembly project is possible. While thinking how to solve the problem above i found the "browsix"[0]. Another webassmbly app to run console on the browser written in Go. I thought to try out this and call the openqa-mon as utility of the browsix shell. this also failed due to some packages' dependencies during the build.

      What actually i had accomplished during this hackweek was - to find and fix a bug on openqa-mon. - Add a single test for the fix - Learn some things about webassembly and go, and refresh some javascript - Create the additional files to launch the openqa-mon.wasm (server.go and openqa-mon_web.wasm)

    Mammuthus - The NFS-Ganesha inside Kubernetes controller by vcheng

    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

    1. Create NFS-Ganesha Package on OBS: nfs-ganesha5, nfs-ganesha6
    2. Create NFS-Ganesha Container Image on OBS: Image
    3. Create a Kubernetes controller for NFS-Ganesha and support the VFS configuration on demand. Mammuthus

    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 add-emoji (with the help of ftpboot script, if you are at SUSE)
    • use s3270 terminal emulation (used by openQA people?)
    • use LXC from IBM to start CP commands and analyze the results
    • use zPXE to do some PXE-alike booting (used by the orthos 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 the openstack terraform provider (used by Rancher QA)
    • use zvm_ansible to control SMAPI
    • 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 with curl
    • use zvmconnector client python library from Feilong
    • use zthin part of Feilong to directly command SMAPI.

    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.

    Possible goals for Hackweek 25

    Modernization, maturity, and maintenance.
