I have created a webapi application using dotnet and snapped with the below snapcraft.yaml file :
name: testsnap4
version: '0.1'
summary: A simple example snap for dotnet in snaps
description: A simple example snap for dotnet in snaps
grade: devel
confinement: strict
base: core
apps:
test4:
command: IoT_AnalyticsCore.service
parts:
test4:
source: .
plugin: dump
stage-packages:
- libasn1-8-heimdal
- libcurl3
- libgssapi3-heimdal
- libhcrypto4-heimdal
- libheimbase1-heimdal
- libheimntlm0-heimdal
- libhx509-5-heimdal
- libkrb5-26-heimdal
- libldap-2.4-2
- liblttng-ust0
- libroken18-heimdal
- librtmp1
- libsasl2-2
- libunwind8
- liburcu4
- libwind0-heimdal
- icu-devtools
- wget
- zlib1g
and after installation i have to run the snap as below :
and now i want to run this in the background. How can i do it ??
I would want the snap to be started automatically as soon as i turn on my machine. Is there any way to achieve this ?
If you make your app
a daemon with the daemon
keyword it will automatically be run after snap installation and upon machine startup.
Try:
apps:
test4:
command: IoT_AnalyticsCore.service
daemon: simple
(though note there are other values that daemon
could take, see the docs at https://snapcraft.io/docs/snapcraft-app-and-service-metadata for more information)

Have i missed adding something ?
What is the status of the service? Try snap services testsnap5
Also try checking the logs for your service with snap logs testsnap5

Looking at your screenshot, you seem to be serving some files from your home folder. Snaps need all the assets to be included in them or you need to add a home interface to be able to access $HOME. The normal approach is to include the files in the snap.

Thanks a lot for your help @ijohnson @jamesj . I sorted the issue with the help of logs. It was a missing file issue.
