Thanks for the report, this exploratory work requires a lot more attention from me.
It turns out that squid is offending snap confinement is many different fronts (logging and working dir, on top of the setgid) and I need to investigate what would be the best solution from the squid perspective. For now, to unblock users and potential contributors, I've republished it as devmode on 16 edge channel (so it's clear that it's not ready for production) with a custom squid.conf that allows it to start (barely): {{{ $ sudo snap install squid3 --devmode --channel=edge 14.99 MB / 14.99 MB [========================================================>_] 100.00 % 3.07 MB/s Name Version Rev Developer squid3 3.5.16-3 5 cprov $ sudo mkdir -m o+rw /var/snap/squid3/current/logs $ squid3 -N ... }}} Current snapcraft setup and custom configuration can be found at https://code.launchpad.net/~cprov/+git/squid-snap Sorry for the inconvenience and misleading expectation I've caused. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1585056 Title: snapd not give privileges to squid3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1585056/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
