Cool, Thanks. I guess my concern was more for the future as you indicate it's devmode for now, so I was worried that once it's no longer devmode, it would be more difficult to have maas inside the snap touch directories outside the snap. I'll see about giving this a shot this weekend and rebuild my server locally.
