Obtaining device's model within snap confinement

Hi,

We have a requirement to determine take different actions with a snap, based on the device model.

We can get the required info from the snapd api, but using snapd-control seems massively over-permissive for this use case.

I suppose we could use the system-files interface with read access under /var/lib/snapd/assertions/asserts-v0/model/16/ .

Is there any other/better way that we could use to determine the systemd model name [ model field from currently used model assertion ] ?

Just thinking a snapd-observe interface could be interesting for very light read only access to some snapd things :slight_smile:

Cheers Just

We plan to have something like snapctl model for this exact purpose but it’s not implemented yet
