Snapcraft Docker Images on Dockerhub

Today I wanted to try to build a snap package, mainly just to see how the process goes really. However I am using Solus so i started to follow build on lxd docker and upon running the image supplied by dockerhub it failed to performs updates and quit.

I believe the docker image just needs rebuilding and uploaded to dockerhub. I was able to successfully build and run the image from the Dockerfile provided in the repo https://github.com/snapcore/snapcraft

As mentioned on irc there should probably be a process of testing whether the current image on dockerhub is working or not, and if not rebuild and upload to dockerhub.

I think its pretty important this get updated quickly as the instructions in the documentation currently do not work.

May also be worth adding a few lines to the documentation describing how to build the image without using dockerhub.

Instead of using Docker you can try using the snapcraft snap (which isn’t in stable yet but it is in candidate)! :smiley: Use sudo snap install snapcraft --candidate --classic and report any bugs you come across here (I guess).

The documentation should be fixed, yes, but just use the snapcraft snap to make snaps on Solus :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve updated the dockerhub so that snapcore/snapcraft now has 2.33

Is there also a snapcraft docker image that includes lxd? This is useful when using circleci for snapcraft builds that require lxd…
