Hi, I’m working on pgbouncer snap package and as I’m new to snaps I wanted to ask the community what is the current preferred way to install a program’s configuration files that are meant to be edited by users?
For example, pgbouncer has a couple of files: pgbouncer.ini and userlist.txt. Both normally located under /etc/pgbouncer. As users need to be able to modify various settings in pgbouncer.ini it has to be under $SNAP_USER_DATA/etc/pgbouncer/. I use a standalone wrapper script that initializes some filesystem paths, creates empty log files, etc. which is all required by pgbouncer and is never created by the program itself, where I essentially do this: [ -e "$CNF_DIR/pgbouncer.ini" ] || cp $SNAP/etc/pgbouncer/pgbouncer.ini $CNF_DIR/pgbouncer.ini As you can see I first dump pgbouncer.ini to $SNAP/etc/pgbouncer/ and then attempt to copy it to $CNF_DIR, which expands to $SNAP_USER_DATA/etc/pgbouncer. However, this doesn’t work as $SNAP/etc/pgbouncer/pgbouncer.ini is owned by root and when the wrapper script is run as a normal user it cannot read the $SNAP/etc/pgbouncer/pgbouncer.ini file (permission denied). I might be one step close to getting this to work but I was wondering what is the common/recommended practice to do what I’m trying to achieve here?
