Are any of you hosting using Snaps?

Deploying snap apps is really easy, but the catalog is quite small. I use one snap app (Ghostscript) for printing server and it works just fine.

    Snaps used to be terrible, I used nextcloud back in the early days of snaps, the performance was truly atrocious.

    They’ve spent a lot of time improving snaps so the performance is apparently not as bad, but initial impressions tend to last, and if it’s an application that’s too much of a pain to build a freebsd jail out of I just use docker instead.

    I gave them a shot, they disappointed me, and the bs they’re playing with moving all the default Deb apps to snaps is passing me off more, but, I’m not a cop, and if it’s convenient and works for you, go for it.

    I will say setting up nextcloud was basically trivial and functionally worked like a charm, even if again the performance was just garbage back then.
