3. Background
4. Spacewalk • Free & Open Source Systems Management • https://www.spacewalkproject.org • Around since 2008 • Base for Red Hat Satellite 5 and SUSE Manager • In maintenance mode • Uncertain future
5. SUSE Manager • SUSE's answer to Red Hat Satellite • An opinionated branch of Spacewalk ◦ Simple installation ◦ Salt configuration management ◦ Container/Kubernetes integration ◦ React Web UI
6. SUSE Manager and Spacewalk • Spacewalk is 'upstream' for SUSE Manager ◦ SUSE Manager 3.2 is based on Spacewalk 2.8 • SUSE Manager is open-source ◦ But development is closed • SUSE contributes heavily to Spacewalk
7. SUSE contributes heavily to Spacewalk
8. But...
9. Problems with Spacewalk • Spacewalk team shrinks ◦ No reviews/integration of SUSE pull requests ◦ Code gap widens • Spacewalk has no vision/future • Community raised concerns "Red Hat's code contributions will decrease over time, as the focus shifts to maintenance and stabilization of the current set of features." (Spacewalk FAQ) "I’m wondering how long Spacewalk will be able to manage systems with its ultimate deprecation." https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2018-January/msg00127.html
10. No reviews/integration of SUSE pull requests
11. No reviews/integration of SUSE pull requests
12. Spacewalk asked for help • Spacewalk FAQ (until April 2018) "As Red Hat's participation ramps down, there will be an opportunity for the participation from other community members to ramp up. Someone (or several someones!) will need to take over some of the management role that currently rests on Red Hat."
13. So...
14. Please welcome Uyuni! https://www.uyuni-project.org @UyuniProject uyuni-announce+subscribe@opensuse.org /uju:ˈni/
15. Please welcome Uyuni!
16. Uyuni Salar de Uyuni is the world's largest salt flat*
17. What will be the relationship with Spacewalk? • Friendly, but separate communities • Spacewalk will no longer be upstream for Uyuni • There will be merges from Spacewalk as needed • Spacewalk can pick our changes as needed • We will not break up compatibility on purpose… • … But will not prevent improvements because of that reason
18. What is our vision for the future? • For this summer: Open development ◦ Public repository, OBS project, CI, open mailing lists ◦ A first release based on openSUSE Leap 42.3 • Then: ◦ Work on the next release based on openSUSE Leap 15.0 ◦ Define releasing model together with the community
19. What is our vision for the future? • Uyuni will be upstream for SUSE Manager • Features from the Uyuni team and from the community. • For example: ◦ Clients using other GNU/Linux distributions ◦ Non-Linux clients ◦ Translations ◦ Whatever you can think of!
20. How can you be part of the community? Right now: • Follow us at twitter: @ProjectUyuni • Sign up at our mailing list • Spread the word! In the near future: • Report problems and wishes • Report problems and wishes via GitHub issues • Fork uyuni on github • Send us pull requests!
21. The workshop • Practical demo of Uyuni • You will experiment on your laptop: ◦ Install Uyuni ◦ Use it to manage openSUSE Leap 42.3 instances ◦ Build, publish and manage Docker images • You will take the installation with you! • Tomorrow at 13:00, Room 305 • Come to room 322 to download the images today!
