Hi there, I've been struggling to get an Ubuntu 16.04 based docker image to run `snapd` - TL;DR I now know it is because systemd is not running in the image. As per Geoffroy VanCutsem's message here (https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/snapcraft/2017-February/003013.html) I can see that one alternative might be to...
> start my daemons/services outside of systemd, from a simple script invoked by > CMD in my Dockerfile. Could someone point me at a list of services that need to be running to be able to make a `snap install`? And / or any guidance on the commands required to run those services? If anyone is interested in the error that I'm getting it's like this, in a clean `rastasheep/ubuntu-sshd:16.04` instance where I've sshed in as root: root@be16d952b015:~# apt-get install -y snapd Reading package lists...
