Node-red snap won't launch on 14.04

Testing a bunch of snaps on 14.04 it seems node-red won’t launch. It launches fine on 16.04/Mint and others.

It has a daemon which should launch on install, but when I visit the admin page http://localhost:1880/ it’s clearly not running, and a process list shows no node-red processes.

alan@alan-VirtualBox:~$ sudo snap refresh node-red --edge
node-red (edge) 0.17.5 from 'dcj' refreshed
alan@alan-VirtualBox:~$ sudo systemctl status snap.node-red.node-red.service
snap.node-red.node-red.service - Service for snap application node-red.node-red
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/snap.node-red.node-red.service; enabled)
   Active: failed (Result: start-limit) since Fri 2017-11-10 13:07:14 GMT; 19s ago
  Process: 5126 ExecStart=/usr/bin/snap run node-red (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

I just tried to manually run it, and it looks like the same issue I have with brave (see other thread). So these are likely one issue, feel free to collapse them into one.

alan@alan-VirtualBox:~$ snap run node-red
cannot perform operation: mount --rbind /dev /tmp/snap.rootfs_v5JZOX//dev: No such file or directory

Can you tell me what does snap version say?

Sure.

alan@alan-VirtualBox:~$ snap version
snap    2.28.5~14.04
snapd   2.28.5~14.04
series  16
ubuntu  14.04
kernel  4.4.0-98-generic

This is no longer a problem.
