Lxd-tools with the snap-package?

Hi,

how do I get the functionality of the lxd-tools when using the snap-package? Is it the correct method to install the Ubuntu (DEB) package? I could not find a lxd-tools snap package, but I am relatively new to snap, so maybe that was the problem.

$ dpkg -L lxd-tools
/.
/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/fuidshift
/usr/share
/usr/share/lintian
/usr/share/lintian/overrides
/usr/share/lintian/overrides/lxd-tools
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/lxd-tools
/usr/share/doc/lxd-tools/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/lxd-tools/copyright
/usr/share/man
/usr/share/man/man1
/usr/share/man/man1/fuidshift.1.gz

Thanks!

Yeah, installing the deb would be fine. An alternative would be to directly build fuidshift from the upstream git repository.

We’ve not tried to include fuidshift in the snap as it’s not used by LXD itself and would get confused by the snap’s differing filesystem view.

Fair enough, thanks. It doesn’t seem to be tied too closely to LXD conceptually either, so just knowing that the .deb package will do is all I needed. :+1:
