WebUI for your data
a project by avicenzi
Updated over 1 year ago. 2 hacker ♥️. 2 followers.

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.

      What you describe is very similar why people use ownCloud. There is a new ownCloud server implementation written in Go that might be of interest to solve this: https://github.com/owncloud/ocis

        Yes, ownCloud, NextCloud, Seafile, Cozy Cloud, Filerun, just to name a few are alternatives.

        Tested all these, and none do what I want.

    SUSE HC Tools Overview

    A collection of tools written in Bash or Go 1.24++ to make life easier with handling of a bunch of tar.xz balls created by supportconfig.

    Background: For SUSE HC we receive a bunch of supportconfig tar balls to check them for misconfiguration, areas for improvement or future changes.

    Main focus on these HC are High Availability (pacemaker), SLES itself and SAP workloads, esp. around the SUSE best practices.

    Goals

    • Overall improvement of the tools
    • Adding new collectors
    • Add support for SLES16

    HTTP API for nftables by crameleon

    Background

    The idea originated in https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/164060 and is about building RESTful API which translates authorized HTTP requests to operations in nftables, possibly utilizing libnftables-json(5).

    Originally, I started developing such an interface in Go, utilizing https://github.com/google/nftables. The conversion of string networks to nftables set elements was problematic (unfortunately no record of details), and I started a second attempt in Python, which made interaction much simpler thanks to native nftables Python bindings.

    Goals

    1. Find and track the issue with google/nftables
    2. Revisit and polish the Go or Python code (prefer Go, but possibly depends on implementing missing functionality), primarily the server component
    3. Finish functionality to interact with nftables sets (retrieving and updating elements), which are of interest for the originating issue
    4. Align test suite
    5. Packaging

    Resources

    • https://git.netfilter.org/nftables/tree/py/src/nftables.py
    • https://git.com.de/Georg/nftables-http-api (to be moved to GitHub)
    • https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:crameleon:containers/pytest-nftables-container

    Results

    • Started new https://github.com/tacerus/nftables-http-api.
    • First Go nftables issue was related to set elements needing to be added with different start and end addresses - coincidentally, this was recently discovered by someone else, who added a useful helper function for this: https://github.com/google/nftables/pull/342.
    • Further improvements submitted: https://github.com/google/nftables/pull/347.

    Side results

    Upon starting to unify the structure and implementing more functionality, missing JSON output support was noticed for some subcommands in libnftables. Submitted patches here as well:

    Add support for todo.sr.ht to git-bug by mcepl

    Description

    I am a big fan of distributed issue tracking and the best (and possibly) only credible such issue tracker is now git-bug. It has bridges to another centralized issue trackers, so user can download (and modify) issues on GitHub, GitLab, Launchpad, Jira). I am also a fan of SourceHut, which has its own issue tracker, so I would like it bridge the two. Alas, I don’t know much about Go programming language (which the git-bug is written) and absolutely nothing about GraphQL (which todo.sr.ht uses for communication). AI to the rescue. I would like to vibe code (and eventually debug and make functional) bridge to the SourceHut issue tracker.

    Goals

    Functional fix for https://github.com/git-bug/git-bug/issues/1024

    Play with the userfaultfd(2) system call and download on demand using HTTP Range Requests with Golang by rbranco

    Description

    The userfaultfd(2) is a cool system call to handle page faults in user-space. This should allow me to list the contents of an ISO or similar archive without downloading the whole thing. The userfaultfd(2) part can also be done in theory with the PROT_NONE mprotect + SIGSEGV trick, for complete Unix portability, though reportedly being slower.

    Goals

    1. Create my own library for userfaultfd(2) in Golang.
    2. Create my own library for HTTP Range Requests.
    3. Complete portability with Unix.
    4. Benchmarks.
    5. Contribute some tests to LTP.

    Create a Cloud-Native policy engine with notifying capabilities to optimize resource usage by gbazzotti

    Description

    The goal of this project is to begin the initial phase of development of an all-in-one Cloud-Native Policy Engine that notifies resource owners when their resources infringe predetermined policies. This was inspired by a current issue in the CES-SRE Team where other solutions seemed to not exactly correspond to the needs of the specific workloads running on the Public Cloud Team space.

    The initial architecture can be checked out on the Repository listed under Resources.

    Among the features that will differ this project from other monitoring/notification systems:

    • Pre-defined sensible policies written at the software-level, avoiding a learning curve by requiring users to write their own policies
    • All-in-one functionality: logging, mailing and all other actions are not required to install any additional plugins/packages
    • Easy account management, being able to parse all required configuration by a single JSON file
    • Eliminate integrations by not requiring metrics to go through a data-agreggator

    Goals

    • Create a minimal working prototype following the workflow specified on the documentation
    • Provide instructions on installation/usage
    • Work on email notifying capabilities

    go-git: unlocking SHA256-based repository cloning ahead of git v3 by pgomes

    Description

    The go-git library implements the git internals in pure Go, so that any Go application can handle not only Git repositories, but also lower-level primitives (e.g. packfiles, idxfiles, etc) without needing to shell out to the git binary.

    The focus for this Hackweek is to fast track key improvements for the project ahead of the upstream release of Git V3, which may take place at some point next year.

    Goals

    Q2Boot - A handy QEMU VM launcher by amanzini

    Description

    Q2Boot (Qemu Quick Boot) is a command-line tool that wraps QEMU to provide a streamlined experience for launching virtual machines. It automatically configures common settings like KVM acceleration, virtio drivers, and networking while allowing customization through both configuration files and command-line options.

    The project originally was a personal utility in D, now recently rewritten in idiomatic Go. It lives at repository https://github.com/ilmanzo/q2boot

    Goals

    Improve the project, testing with different scenarios , address issues and propose new features. It will benefit of some basic integration testing by providing small sample disk images.

    Updates
