Module Description

This module installs Snap and core snap package. Also it provides a package provider, named snap, which uses the Snapd REST API for managing snaps.

Setup

What Snap Affects

• the snapd package
• the core snap package
• the snapd daemon

Beginning with snap

To install Snap and the core package:

include snap

If you are using a RedHat family OS you need to additionally install puppet-epel module or manage the EPEL repository on your own.

If you don't want puppet-snap to manage EPEL:

class { 'snap':
  manage_repo => false,
}

Usage

This module also provides a package provider for installing and managing snaps.

To install a snap:

package { 'hello-world':
  ensure   => installed,
  provider => 'snap',
}

To uninstall a snap:

package { 'hello-world':
  ensure   => absent,
  provider => 'snap',
}

To purge a snap (warning purging will remove all snap data):

package { 'hello-world':
  ensure   => purged,
  provider => 'snap',
}

To install from specific channel:

package { 'hello-world':
  ensure   => 'beta',
  provider => 'snap',
}

If you want to install a snap in classic mode:

package { 'hello-world':
  ensure          => installed,
  provider        => 'snap',
  install_options => ['classic'],
}

Same applies for options jailmode and devmode

This snippet

package { 'hello-world':
  ensure          => latest,
  provider        => 'snap',
  install_options => ['classic'],
}

installs by default the latest/stable channel
