The system-wide /tmp is not accessible by strictly-confined snaps, so
/tmp/chromium-home won't work either.
In any case this looks like a limitation hard-coded in snapd, which
won't create $SNAP_USER_DATA if $HOME is not in /home. So this is not
specific to the chromium snap. I'll add a snapd task to the bug.
As a workaround (I realize this is less than ideal), could you maybe
create a user with a home directory in /home just for this purpose, and
have have your server process run chromium as this user?
** Summary changed:

** Changed in: chromium-browser (Ubuntu)
