Kanidm: A safe and modern IDM system by firstyear

Kanidm is an IDM system written in Rust for modern systems authentication. The github repo has a detailed "getting started" on the readme.

Kanidm Github

In addition Kanidm has spawn a number of adjacent projects in the Rust ecosystem such as LDAP, Kerberos, Webauthn, and cryptography libraries.

In this hack week, we'll be working on Quokca, a certificate authority that supports PKCS11/TPM storage of keys, issuance of PIV certificates, and ACME without the feature gatekeeping implemented by other CA's like smallstep.

For anyone who wants to participate in Kanidm, we have documentation and developer guides which can help.

I'm happy to help and share more, so please get in touch!

Write an url shortener in Rust (And learn in the way) by szarate

So I have 469.icu :), it's currently doing nothing... (and for sale) but in the meantime, I'd like to write an url shortener from scratch and deploy it on my own server

Better diff'ing experience by MSirringhaus

Description

For diff-ing directories, I usually like to use meld, but it struggles a lot with large trees. Experiment with writing a TUI meld-clone for diffing directories and files

Goals

Get first prototype going of a TUI that can show

• diffs of text-files
• diffs of directories.

Stretch goals

• Themes
• Filters (no whitespace, etc.)
• Live config changes (Show/hide line numbers, etc.)

Dartboard TUI by IValentin

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

Resurrect NWS CLI project by seanmarlow

Project Description

Many years back I created a simple python based CLI package that wrapped the NWS API to get weather forecasts, discussions and current conditions. Meanwhile I have not had time to keep it up-to-date so many pieces are broken or using deprecated features of the REST API. The package is useful to get weather information much quicker from CLI than clicking through the NWS website.

Goal for this Hackweek

The goal for this project is update and fix the package as well as add new features. Also, the documentation can be updated to be more thorough and useful.

Project URL: https://github.com/smarlowucf/wxcast

Tasks

• [x] Use Github actions instead of travis
• [x] Move metar to nws api
• [x] Convert string formatting to use F strings
• [x] Add get WFO info
• [x] Get a list of stations for wfo
• [x] Get station info
• [x] Fix 7 day forecast
• [x] Add temp unit option to metar
• [x] Add alias to metar for decoded version with conditions
• [x] Add/update documentation
• [x] Release new major version

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

file-organizer: A CLI Tool for Efficient File Management by okhatavkar

Description

Create a Go-based CLI tool that helps organize files in a specified folder by sorting them into subdirectories based on defined criteria, such as file type or creation date. Users will pass a folder path as an argument, and the tool will process and organize the files within it.

Goals

• Develop Go skills by building a practical command-line application.
• Learn to manage and manipulate files and directories in Go using standard libraries.
• Create a tool that simplifies file management, making it easier to organize and maintain directories.

Resources

• Go Standard Libraries: Utilize os, filepath, and time for file operations.
• CLI Development: Use flag for basic argument parsing or consider cobra for enhanced functionality.
• Go Learning Material: Go by Example and The Go Programming Language Documentation.

Features

• File Type Sorting: Automatically move files into subdirectories based on their extensions (e.g., documents, images, videos).
• Date-Based Organization: Add an option to organize files by creation date into year/month folders.
• User-Friendly CLI: Build intuitive commands and clear outputs for ease of use. This version maintains the core idea of organizing files efficiently while focusing on Go development and practical file management.

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
