Description

Elixir / Erlang use their own solutions to create clusters that work together. Kubernetes provide its own orchestration. Due to the nature of the BEAM, it looks a very promising technology for applications that run in Kubernetes and requite to be always on, specifically if they are created as web pages using Phoenix.

Goals

  • Investigate and provide solutions that work in Phoenix LiveView using Kubernetes resources, so a multi-pod application can be used
  • Provide an end to end example that creates and deploy a container from source code.

    Learn how to integrate Elixir and Phoenix Liveview with LLMs by ninopaparo

    Description

    Learn how to integrate Elixir and Phoenix Liveview with LLMs by building an application that can provide answers to user queries based on a corpus of custom-trained data.

    Goals

    Develop an Elixir application via the Phoenix framework that:

    • Employs Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques
    • Supports the integration and utilization of various Large Language Models (LLMs).
    • Is designed with extensibility and adaptability in mind to accommodate future enhancements and modifications.

    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.

    Goals

    1. Seamless Multi-Cluster Cloning
      • Clone Kubernetes resources across clusters/projects with one command.
      • Simplifies management, reduces operational effort.

    Resources

    1. Rancher & Kubernetes Docs

      • Rancher API, Cluster Management, Kubernetes client libraries.
    2. Development Tools

      • Kubectl plugin docs, Go programming resources.

    Building and Installing the Plugin

    1. Set Environment Variables: Export the Rancher URL and API token:
    • export RANCHER_URL="https://rancher.example.com"
    • export RANCHER_TOKEN="token-xxxxx:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    1. Build the Plugin: Compile the Go program:
    • go build -o kubectl-clone ./pkg/
    1. Install the Plugin: Move the executable to a directory in your PATH:
    • mv kubectl-clone /usr/local/bin/

    Ensure the file is executable:

    • chmod +x /usr/local/bin/kubectl-clone
    1. Verify the Plugin Installation: Test the plugin by running:
    • kubectl clone --help

    You should see the usage information for the kubectl-clone plugin.

    Usage Examples

    1. Clone a Deployment from One Cluster to Another:
    • kubectl clone --source-cluster c-abc123 --type deployment --name nginx-deployment --target-cluster c-def456 --new-name nginx-deployment-clone
    1. Clone a Service into Another Namespace and Modify Labels:


    Metrics Server viewer for Kubernetes by bkampen

    This project is finished please visit the github repo below for the tool.

    Description

    Build a CLI tools which can visualize Kubernetes metrics from the metrics-server, so you're able to watch these without installing Prometheus and Grafana on a cluster.

    Goals

    • Learn more about metrics-server
    • Learn more about the inner workings of Kubernetes.
    • Learn more about Go

    Integrate Backstage with Rancher Manager by nwmacd

    Description

    Backstage (backstage.io) is an open-source, CNCF project that allows you to create your own developer portal. There are many plugins for Backstage.

    This could be a great compliment to Rancher Manager.

    Goals

    Learn and experiment with Backstage and look at how this could be integrated with Rancher Manager. Goal is to have some kind of integration completed in this Hack week.

    Progress

    Screen shot of home page at the end of Hackweek:

    Home

    Day One

    • Got Backstage running locally, understanding configuration with HTTPs.
    • Got Backstage embedded in an IFRAME inside of Rancher
    • Added content into the software catalog (see: https://backstage.io/docs/features/techdocs/getting-started/)
    • Understood more about the entity model

    Day Two

    • Connected Backstage to the Rancher local cluster and configured the Kubernetes plugin.
    • Created Rancher theme to make the light theme more consistent with Rancher

    Home

    Days Three and Day Four

    • Created two backend plugins for Backstage:

      1. Catalog Entity Provider - this imports users from Rancher into Backstage
      2. Auth Provider - uses the proxied sign-in pattern to check the Rancher session cookie, to user that to authenticate the user with Rancher and then log them into Backstage by connecting this to the imported User entity from the catalog entity provider plugin.
    • With this in place, you can single-sign-on between Rancher and Backstage when it is deployed within Rancher. Note this is only when running locally for development at present

    Home

    Home

    Day Five

    • Start to build out a production deployment for all of the above
    • Made some progress, but hit issues with the authentication and proxying when running proxied within Rancher, which needs further investigation


    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.

    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

    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


    Install Uyuni on Kubernetes in cloud-native way by cbosdonnat

    Description

    For now installing Uyuni on Kubernetes requires running mgradm on a cluster node... which is not what users would do in the Kubernetes world. The idea is to implement an installation based only on helm charts and probably an operator.

    Goals

    Install Uyuni from Rancher UI.
