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 pissing 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.

      I don’t know when you tried Nextcloud snap. I was using NC Snap on low tier VPS back in 2021 and 2022. For me it was really good experience, and I saw that a lot of people had the same opinion. Unfortunately, snapcraft lacks a lot of apps and even in that small group there are only a few apps that are supported.

      Snap apps could be good for a lot of ‘just works’ stuff, but the app catalogue is tiny. Hardly any of the app catalogue is kept up to date.

        Way longer, I was running it on serious hardware back in 2016 or so, maybe 2018? It was painfully slow, barely usable and I wasn’t even putting any load on it.

        But it’s made huge strides since, and as I said, if it works for you, go for it.

    I’m using it for overseerr in a VM. Its my only service exposed to the internet so I like that it keeps itself updated. Everything else runs in docker in an LXC.
