Project Description

At the moment, Uyuni uses a pretty standard frontend build chain based on Webpack 4, Terser, and a few loaders here and there. This works reliably, albeit fairly slowly. In part this may be attributed to large package sizes, in part to the tooling itself.

Over the past few years, a number of newer competitors have entered the frontend build tooling space: Snowpack, Vite and Esbuild to name a few. Many of them target build speed and development iteration speed as their primary goal. It would be great to check whether one of them can fit Uyuni.

Goal for this Hackweek

The goal for this project is to try and build the Uyuni frontend project with the three aforementioned tools: Snowpack, Vite and Esbuild. Given some of them rely on dependencies being ES modules, they might not work for this specific use case, but that needs further research.

The aim is to reduce both development turnaround times as well as production build times while keeping all existing functionality on par. The resulting tool chain should output both development and production builds, we don't want to maintain two parallel tracks for different builds.

Kudos aka openSUSE Recognition Platform by lkocman

Description

Relevant blog post at news-o-o

I started the Kudos application shortly after Leap 16.0 to create a simple, friendly way to recognize people for their work and contributions to openSUSE. There’s so much more to our community than just submitting requests in OBS or gitea we have translations (not only in Weblate), wiki edits, forum and social media moderation, infrastructure maintenance, booth participation, talks, manual testing, openQA test suites, and more!

Goals

Kudos under github.com/openSUSE/kudos with build previews aka netlify
Have a kudos.opensuse.org instance running in production
Build an easy-to-contribute recognition platform for the openSUSE community a place where everyone can send and receive appreciation for their work, across all areas of contribution.
In the future, we could even explore reward options such as vouchers for t-shirts or other community swag, small tokens of appreciation to make recognition more tangible.

Set Uyuni to manage edge clusters at scale by RDiasMateus

Description

Prepare a Poc on how to use MLM to manage edge clusters. Those cluster are normally equal across each location, and we have a large number of them.

The goal is to produce a set of sets/best practices/scripts to help users manage this kind of setup.

Goals

step 1: Manual set-up

Goal: Have a running application in k3s and be able to update it using System Update Controler (SUC)

Deploy Micro 6.2 machine
Deploy k3s - single node
- https://docs.k3s.io/quick-start
Build/find a simple web application (static page)
- Build/find a helmchart to deploy the application
Deploy the application on the k3s cluster
Install App updates through helm update
Install OS updates using MLM

step 2: Automate day 1

Goal: Trigger the application deployment and update from MLM

Salt states For application (with static data)
- Deploy the application helmchart, if not present
- install app updates through helmchart parameters
Link it to GIT
- Define how to link the state to the machines (based in some pillar data? Using configuration channels by importing the state? Naming convention?)
- Use git update to trigger helmchart app update
Recurrent state applying configuration channel?

step 3: Multi-node cluster

Goal: Use SUC to update a multi-node cluster.

Create a multi-node cluster
Deploy application
- call the helm update/install only on control plane?
Install App updates through helm update
Prepare a SUC for OS update (k3s also? How?)
- https://github.com/rancher/system-upgrade-controller
- https://documentation.suse.com/cloudnative/k3s/latest/en/upgrades/automated.html
- Update/deploy the SUC?
- Update/deploy the SUC CRD with the update procedure

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 (including bootstrapping with bootstrap script) and Salt-ssh clients

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 :-)

Enhance setup wizard for Uyuni by PSuarezHernandez

Description

This project wants to enhance the intial setup on Uyuni after its installation, so it's easier for a user to start using with it.

Uyuni currently uses "uyuni-tools" (mgradm) as the installation entrypoint, to trigger the installation of Uyuni in the given host, but does not really perform an initial setup, for instance:

user creation
adding products / channels
generating bootstrap repos
create activation keys
...

Goals

Provide initial setup wizard as part of mgradm uyuni installation

Uyuni Health-check Grafana AI Troubleshooter by ygutierrez

Description

This project explores the feasibility of using the open-source Grafana LLM plugin to enhance the Uyuni Health-check tool with LLM capabilities. The idea is to integrate a chat-based "AI Troubleshooter" directly into existing dashboards, allowing users to ask natural-language questions about errors, anomalies, or performance issues.

Goals

Investigate if and how the grafana-llm-app plug-in can be used within the Uyuni Health-check tool.
Investigate if this plug-in can be used to query LLMs for troubleshooting scenarios.
Evaluate support for local LLMs and external APIs through the plugin.
Evaluate if and how the Uyuni MCP server could be integrated as another source of information.

Uyuni Saltboot rework by oholecek

Description

When Uyuni switched over to the containerized proxies we had to abandon salt based saltboot infrastructure we had before. Uyuni already had integration with a Cobbler provisioning server and saltboot infra was re-implemented on top of this Cobbler integration.

What was not obvious from the start was that Cobbler, having all it's features, woefully slow when dealing with saltboot size environments. We did some improvements in performance, introduced transactions, and generally tried to make this setup usable. However the underlying slowness remained.

Goals

This project is not something trying to invent new things, it is just finally implementing saltboot infrastructure directly with the Uyuni server core.

Instead of generating grub and pxelinux configurations by Cobbler for all thousands of systems and branches, we will provide a GET access point to retrieve grub or pxelinux file during the boot:

/saltboot/group/grub/$fqdn and similar for systems /saltboot/system/grub/$mac

Next we adapt our tftpd translator to query these points when asked for default or mac based config.

Lastly similar thing needs to be done on our apache server when HTTP UEFI boot is used.

Uyuni read-only replica by cbosdonnat

Description

For now, there is no possible HA setup for Uyuni. The idea is to explore setting up a read-only shadow instance of an Uyuni and make it as useful as possible.

Possible things to look at:

live sync of the database, probably using the WAL. Some of the tables may have to be skipped or some features disabled on the RO instance (taskomatic, PXT sessions…)
Can we use a load balancer that routes read-only queries to either instance and the other to the RW one? For example, packages or PXE data can be served by both, the API GET requests too. The rest would be RW.

Goals

Prepare a document explaining how to do it.
PR with the needed code changes to support it

Move Uyuni Test Framework from Selenium to Playwright + AI by oscar-barrios

Description

This project aims to migrate the existing Uyuni Test Framework from Selenium to Playwright. The move will improve the stability, speed, and maintainability of our end-to-end tests by leveraging Playwright's modern features. We'll be rewriting the current Selenium code in Ruby to Playwright code in TypeScript, which includes updating the test framework runner, step definitions, and configurations. This is also necessary because we're moving from Cucumber Ruby to CucumberJS.

If you're still curious about the AI in the title, it was just a way to grab your attention. Thanks for your understanding.

Nah, let's be honest AI helped a lot to vibe code a good part of the Ruby methods of the Test framework, moving them to Typescript, along with the migration from Capybara to Playwright. I've been using "Cline" as plugin for WebStorm IDE, using Gemini API behind it.

Goals

Migrate Core tests including Onboarding of clients
Improve test reliabillity: Measure and confirm a significant reduction of flakiness.
Implement a robust framework: Establish a well-structured and reusable Playwright test framework using the CucumberJS
