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

    Rewrite Distrobox in go (POC) by fabriziosestito

    Description

    Rewriting Distrobox in Go.

    Main benefits:

    • Easier to maintain and to test
    • Adapter pattern for different container backends (LXC, systemd-nspawn, etc.)

    Goals

    • Build a minimal starting point with core commands
    • Keep the CLI interface compatible: existing users shouldn't notice any difference
    • Use a clean Go architecture with adapters for different container backends
    • Keep dependencies minimal and binary size small
    • Benchmark against the original shell script

    A CLI for Harvester by mohamed.belgaied

    Harvester does not officially come with a CLI tool, the user is supposed to interact with Harvester mostly through the UI. Though it is theoretically possible to use kubectl to interact with Harvester, the manipulation of Kubevirt YAML objects is absolutely not user friendly. Inspired by tools like multipass from Canonical to easily and rapidly create one of multiple VMs, I began the development of Harvester CLI. Currently, it works but Harvester CLI needs some love to be up-to-date with Harvester v1.0.2 and needs some bug fixes and improvements as well.

    Project Description

    Harvester CLI is a command line interface tool written in Go, designed to simplify interfacing with a Harvester cluster as a user. It is especially useful for testing purposes as you can easily and rapidly create VMs in Harvester by providing a simple command such as: harvester vm create my-vm --count 5 to create 5 VMs named my-vm-01 to my-vm-05.

    asciicast

    Harvester CLI is functional but needs a number of improvements: up-to-date functionality with Harvester v1.0.2 (some minor issues right now), modifying the default behaviour to create an opensuse VM instead of an ubuntu VM, solve some bugs, etc.

    Github Repo for Harvester CLI: https://github.com/belgaied2/harvester-cli

    Done in previous Hackweeks

    • Create a Github actions pipeline to automatically integrate Harvester CLI to Homebrew repositories: DONE
    • Automatically package Harvester CLI for OpenSUSE / Redhat RPMs or DEBs: DONE

    Goal for this Hackweek

    The goal for this Hackweek is to bring Harvester CLI up-to-speed with latest Harvester versions (v1.3.X and v1.4.X), and improve the code quality as well as implement some simple features and bug fixes.

    Some nice additions might be: * Improve handling of namespaced objects * Add features, such as network management or Load Balancer creation ? * Add more unit tests and, why not, e2e tests * Improve CI * Improve the overall code quality * Test the program and create issues for it

    Issue list is here: https://github.com/belgaied2/harvester-cli/issues

    Resources

    The project is written in Go, and using client-go the Kubernetes Go Client libraries to communicate with the Harvester API (which is Kubernetes in fact). Welcome contributions are:

    • Testing it and creating issues
    • Documentation
    • Go code improvement

    Q2Boot - A handy QEMU VM launcher by amanzini

    Description

    Q2Boot (Qemu Quick Boot) is a command-line tool that wraps QEMU to provide a streamlined experience for launching virtual machines. It automatically configures common settings like KVM acceleration, virtio drivers, and networking while allowing customization through both configuration files and command-line options.

    The project originally was a personal utility in D, now recently rewritten in idiomatic Go. It lives at repository https://github.com/ilmanzo/q2boot

    Goals

    Improve the project, testing with different scenarios , address issues and propose new features. It will benefit of some basic integration testing by providing small sample disk images.

    Updates

    • Dec 1, 2025 : refactor command line options, added structured logging. Released v0.0.2
    • Dec 2, 2025 : added external monitor via telnet option
    • Dec 4, 2025 : released v0.0.3 with architecture auto-detection
    • Dec 5, 2025 : filing new issues and general polishment. Designing E2E testing

    terraform-provider-feilong by e_bischoff

    Project Description

    People need to test operating systems and applications on s390 platform. While this is straightforward with KVM, this is very difficult with z/VM.

    IBM Cloud Infrastructure Center (ICIC) harnesses the Feilong API, but you can use Feilong without installing ICIC(see 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 z/VM system.

    Goal for Hackweek 23

    I would like 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.

    Goals for Hackweek 25

    Modernization, maturity, and maintenance: support for SLES 16 and openTofu, new API calls, fixes...

    Updatecli Autodiscovery supporting WASM plugins by olblak

    Description

    Updatecli is a Golang Update policy engine that allow to write Update policies in YAML manifest. Updatecli already has a plugin ecosystem for common update strategies such as automating Dockerfile or Kubernetes manifest from Git repositories.

    This is what we call autodiscovery where Updatecli generate manifest and apply them dynamically based on some context.

    Obviously, the Updatecli project doesn't accept plugins specific to an organization.

    I saw project using different languages such as python, C#, or JS to generate those manifest.

    It would be great to be able to share and reuse those specific plugins

    During the HackWeek, I'll hang on the Updatecli matrix channel

    https://matrix.to/#/#Updatecli_community:gitter.im

    Goals

    Implement autodiscovery plugins using WASM. I am planning to experiment with https://github.com/extism/extism

    To build a simple WASM autodiscovery plugin and run it from Updatecli
