Project Description

Evaluate some CNI plugins [1]

There are many to choose from see [2] - e.g. flannel, Cilium, OVN, Calico etc.

Goal for this Hackweek

Understand their control and data planes.

Rate by features, performance, complexity etc.

    Setup Kanidm as OIDC provider on Kubernetes by jkuzilek

    Description

    I am planning to upgrade my homelab Kubernetes cluster to the next level and need an OIDC provider for my services, including K8s itself.

    Goals

    • Successfully configure and deploy Kanidm on homelab cluster
    • Integrate with K8s auth
    • Integrate with other services (Envoy Gateway, Container Registry, future deployment of Forgejo?)

    Multi-pod, autoscalable Elixir application in Kubernetes using K8s resources by socon

    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.

    ClusterOps - Easily install and manage your personal kubernetes cluster by andreabenini

    Description

    ClusterOps is a Kubernetes installer and operator designed to streamline the initial configuration and ongoing maintenance of kubernetes clusters. The focus of this project is primarily on personal or local installations. However, the goal is to expand its use to encompass all installations of Kubernetes for local development purposes.
    It simplifies cluster management by automating tasks and providing just one user-friendly YAML-based configuration config.yml.

    Overview

    • Simplified Configuration: Define your desired cluster state in a simple YAML file, and ClusterOps will handle the rest.
    • Automated Setup: Automates initial cluster configuration, including network settings, storage provisioning, special requirements (for example GPUs) and essential components installation.
    • Ongoing Maintenance: Performs routine maintenance tasks such as upgrades, security updates, and resource monitoring.
    • Extensibility: Easily extend functionality with custom plugins and configurations.
    • Self-Healing: Detects and recovers from common cluster issues, ensuring stability, idempotence and reliability. Same operation can be performed multiple times without changing the result.
    • Discreet: It works only on what it knows, if you are manually configuring parts of your kubernetes and this configuration does not interfere with it you can happily continue to work on several parts and use this tool only for what is needed.

    Features

    • distribution and engine independence. Install your favorite kubernetes engine with your package manager, execute one script and you'll have a complete working environment at your disposal.
    • Basic config approach. One single config.yml file with configuration requirements (add/remove features): human readable, plain and simple. All fancy configs managed automatically (ingress, balancers, services, proxy, ...).
    • Local Builtin ContainerHub. The default installation provides a fully configured ContainerHub available locally along with the kubernetes installation. This configuration allows the user to build, upload and deploy custom container images as they were provided from external sources. Internet public sources are still available but local development can be kept in this localhost server. Builtin ClusterOps operator will be fetched from this ContainerHub registry too.
    • Kubernetes official dashboard installed as a plugin, others planned too (k9s for example).
    • Kubevirt plugin installed and properly configured. Unleash the power of classic virtualization (KVM+QEMU) on top of Kubernetes and manage your entire system from there, libvirtd and virsh libs are required.
    • One operator to rule them all. The installation script configures your machine automatically during installation and adds one kubernetes operator to manage your local cluster. From there the operator takes care of the cluster on your behalf.
    • Clean installation and removal. Just test it, when you are done just use the same program to uninstall everything without leaving configs (or pods) behind.

    Planned features (Wishlist / TODOs)

    • Containerized Data Importer (CDI). Persistent storage management add-on for Kubernetes to provide a declarative way of building and importing Virtual Machine Disks on PVCs for

    Technical talks at universities by agamez

    Description

    This project aims to empower the next generation of tech professionals by offering hands-on workshops on containerization and Kubernetes, with a strong focus on open-source technologies. By providing practical experience with these cutting-edge tools and fostering a deep understanding of open-source principles, we aim to bridge the gap between academia and industry.

    For now, the scope is limited to Spanish universities, since we already have the contacts and have started some conversations.

    Goals

    • Technical Skill Development: equip students with the fundamental knowledge and skills to build, deploy, and manage containerized applications using open-source tools like Kubernetes.
    • Open-Source Mindset: foster a passion for open-source software, encouraging students to contribute to open-source projects and collaborate with the global developer community.
    • Career Readiness: prepare students for industry-relevant roles by exposing them to real-world use cases, best practices, and open-source in companies.

    Resources

    • Instructors: experienced open-source professionals with deep knowledge of containerization and Kubernetes.
    • SUSE Expertise: leverage SUSE's expertise in open-source technologies to provide insights into industry trends and best practices.

    Introducing "Bottles": A Proof of Concept for Multi-Version CRD Management in Kubernetes by aruiz

    Description

    As we delve deeper into the complexities of managing multiple CRD versions within a single Kubernetes cluster, I want to introduce "Bottles" - a proof of concept that aims to address these challenges.

    Bottles propose a novel approach to isolating and deploying different CRD versions in a self-contained environment. This would allow for greater flexibility and efficiency in managing diverse workloads.

    Goals

    • Evaluate Feasibility: determine if this approach is technically viable, as well as identifying possible obstacles and limitations.
    • Reuse existing technology: leverage existing products whenever possible, e.g. build on top of Kubewarden as admission controller.
    • Focus on Rancher's use case: the ultimate goal is to be able to use this approach to solve Rancher users' needs.

    Resources

    Core concepts:

    • ConfigMaps: Bottles could be defined and configured using ConfigMaps.
    • Admission Controller: An admission controller will detect "bootled" CRDs being installed and replace the resource name used to store them.
    • Aggregated API Server: By analyzing the author of a request, the aggregated API server will determine the correct bottle and route the request accordingly, making it transparent for the user.

    Remote control for Adam Audio active monitor speakers by dmach

    Description

    I own a pair of Adam Audio A7V active studio monitor speakers. They have ethernet connectors that allow changing their settings remotely using the A Control software. From Windows :-( I couldn't find any open source alternative for Linux besides AES70.js library.

    Goals

    • Create a command-line tool for controlling the speakers.
    • Python is the language of choice.
    • Implement only a simple tool with the desired functionality rather than a full coverage of AES70 standard.

    TODO

    • ✅ discover the device
    • ❌ get device manufacturer and model
    • ✅ get serial number
    • ✅ get description
    • ✅ set description
    • ✅ set mute
    • ✅ set sleep
    • ✅ set input (XRL (balanced), RCA (unbalanced))

      • bass (1, 0, -1, -2)
      • desk (0, -1, -2)
      • presence (1, 0, -1)
      • treble (1, 0, -1)
    • ✅ set voicing (Pure, UNR, Ext)
    • ❌ the Ext voicing enables the following extended functionality:
      • gain
      • equalizer bands
      • on/off
      • type
      • freq
      • q
      • gain
    • ❌ udev rules to sleep/wakeup the speakers together with the sound card
