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 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.

Goals for Hackweek 25

• Finish support for fiberchannel disks and multipath
• Fix problems with registration on hashicorp providers registry

A CLI for Harvester by mohamed.belgaied

[comment]: # Harvester does not officially come with a CLI tool, the user is supposed to interact with Harvester mostly through the UI [comment]: # Though it is theoretically possible to use kubectl to interact with Harvester, the manipulation of Kubevirt YAML objects is absolutely not user friendly. [comment]: # 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.

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

What you might learn

Harvester CLI might be interesting to you if you want to learn more about:

• GitHub Actions
• Harvester as a SUSE Product
• Go programming language
• Kubernetes API

suse-rancher-supportconfig by eminguez

Description

Update: Live at https://github.com/e-minguez/suse-rancher-supportconfig I finally didn't used golang but used gum instead

SUSE's supportconfig support tool collects data from the SUSE Operating system. Rancher's rancher2_logs_collector.sh support tool does the same for RKE2/K3s.

Wouldn't be nice to have a way to run both and collect all data for SUSE based RKE2/K3s clusters? Wouldn't be even better with a fancy TUI tool like bubbletea?

Ideally the output should be an html page where you can see the logs/data directly from the browser.

Goals

• Familiarize myself with both supportconfig and rancher2_logs_collector.sh tools
• Refresh my golang knowledge
• Have something that works at the end of the hackweek ("works" may vary )
• Be better in naming things

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

Follow this link for source code repository

• includes development diary

WebUI for your data by avicenzi

A single place to view every bit of data you have.

Problem

You have too much data and you are a data hoarder.

• Family photos and videos.
• Lots of eBooks, TV Shows, Movies, and else.
• Boxes full of papers (taxes, invoices, IDs, certificates, exams, and else).
• Bank account statements (multiple currencies, countries, and people).

Maybe you have some data on S3, some on your NAS, and some on your local PC.

• How do you get it all together?
• How do you link a bank transaction to a product invoice?
• How to tag any object type and create a collection out of it (mix videos, photos, PDFs, transactions)?
• How to store this? file/folder structure does not work, everything is linked together

Project Description

The idea is a place where you can throw all your data, photos, videos, documents, binaries, and else.

Create photo albums, document collections, add tags across multiple file-formats, link content, and else.

The UI should be easy to use, where the data is not important for now (could be all S3 or local drive).

Similar proposals

The closest I found so far is https://perkeep.org/, but this is not what I'm looking for.

Goal for this Hackweek

Create a web UI, in Svelte ideally, perhaps React.

It should be able to show photos and videos at least.

Resources

None so far, this is just an idea.

Extending KubeVirtBMC's capability by adding Redfish support by zchang

Description

In Hack Week 23, we delivered a project called KubeBMC (renamed to KubeVirtBMC now), which brings the good old-fashioned IPMI ways to manage virtual machines running on KubeVirt-powered clusters. This opens the possibility of integrating existing bare-metal provisioning solutions like Tinkerbell with virtualized environments. We even received an inquiry about transferring the project to the KubeVirt organization. So, a proposal was filed, which was accepted by the KubeVirt community, and the project was renamed after that. We have many tasks on our to-do list. Some of them are administrative tasks; some are feature-related. One of the most requested features is Redfish support.

Goals

Extend the capability of KubeVirtBMC by adding Redfish support. Currently, the virtbmc component only exposes IPMI endpoints. We need to implement another simulator to expose Redfish endpoints, as we did with the IPMI module. We aim at a basic set of functionalities:

• Power management
• Boot device selection
• Virtual media mount (this one is not so basic )

Resources

• DMTF/Redfish-Interface-Emulator: The Redfish Interface Emulator can emulate a Redfish-based interface statically (GET) or dynamically (POST, PATCH, DELETE)
