Distributions
This page documents status of snapd across various operating systems.
The following matrix shows which version of snapd is available in each of the listed environments. Not all environments are listed, see below for details.
Operating System | Status | Version | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS | In progress | TBD | |
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS | Supported | 2.20.1 | |
Debian (testing) | Outdated | 2.20 | devmode |
Debian (unstable) | Outdated | 2.20 | devmode |
Fedora 25 | In progress | N/A | devmode, no-classic |
CentOS 7 | Unsupported | N/A | N/A |
RHEL 7.3 | Unsupported | N/A | N/A |
Arch | Outdated | 2.16 | devmode |
Gentoo | Outdated | 2.15 | devmode |
OpenSUSE Leap 42.2 | Unsupported | TBD | N/A |
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed | Unsupported | TBD | N/A |
devmode: confinement technology is not fully supported and all snaps are installed in development mode.
no-classic: because of distribution policy to remove /snap
directory, snaps
using classic confinement are not supported.

Arch Wiki | Snapd |
Snapd is maintained by the Arch packaging community. The primary contact is
Timothy Redaelli. Snapd is available as two packages: snapd
and
snap-confine
.
- https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/snapd/
- https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/snap-confine/
The released version of snapd
is 2.16
, this is coupled with snap-confine
1.0.41
. Note that this version number denotes a pre-merged snap-confine
. It
is likely that the next packaging update will bring both versions in sync as it
is now done in Ubuntu.
Upstream development is not actively tested on Arch. This is tracked as https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/issues/2552
Arch doesn't support confinement at this stage. This is caused by non-upstreamed patches to the Linux kernel that expand what apparmor is capable of. Those patches are being continuously merged and it is expected that Arch will be fully confined when the user chooses to enable Apparmor on their system.
Note that Arch is a rolling release distribution, the following table is only a snapshot.

CentOS is not currently supported. It is likely that once all the issues affecting Fedora are resolved then CentOS can be enabled via the EPL7 repository.

Since Elementary is a derivative of Ubuntu using the same binary packages pretty much everything that applies to Ubuntu is true for Elementary. Since the Loki release of elementary, snapd supports confinement based on apparmor.

Fedora is not currently supported but there's been a great deal of work towards
making snapd work correctly there. The two packages snapd
and snap-confine
are now accepted into Fedora. There are two issues that block general release
into Fedora 24 and 25 (Fedora 23 is affected by another issue but it is not
essential as that release is no longer supported).
Bugs blocking Fedora release:
In the past Fedora work was progressing in a COPR repository but since it was
approved into the distribution the work has moved entirely into the official
git repositories instead. Snapd and snap-confine can be built and managed with
fedpkg
, just like any package in Fedora.
Packages are maintained in the Fedora git repository. The primary contact is Zygmunt Krynicki.

Bug reports | On GitHub |
Gentoo is currently supported with an outdated portage overlay.
https://github.com/zyga/gentoo-snappy
Contributions to update to the latest releases are welcome. If you'd like to maintain this overlay or merge it into the official portage tree then please open an issue or get back to us in any way.
OpenSUSE support is not finished. While it is possible to run snapd on OpenSUSE Leap 42.1, significant packaging work remains to get to a point where it works, primarily to bring all the required golang packages into the distribution.
Packaging is maintained in the Open Build Service at
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/system:snappy
Contributions to update to the latest releases are welcome. If you'd like to maintain this repository or merge it into the official repository then please open an issue or get back to us in any way.
Bugs blocking OpenSUSE release:
In addition, we need to investigate the rules with regards to bundling dependencies in golang projects. If allowed then snapd can build as-is. If not allowed the snapd must be de-vendorized and all the relevant libraries need to be maintained.

RHEL is currently not supported. It is possible to build snapd and run it there
but that work is going to be, most likely, derived from CentOS packages. A
manual experiment was done to build snapd
natively on RHEL 7 with upstream
binary golang compiler.

Version | 2.20.1 (Xenial), 2.20.1 (Yakkety), 2.20.1 (Zesty) |
Confinement | apparmor, seccomp |
Automatic CI | with autopkgtest and spread |
Bug reports | snapd |
snapd-confine |
Snapd is tested automatically with the autopkgtest system as well as with the spread system.
Packaging is maintained in the main git repository: https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/tree/master/debian. From this repository Xenial releases are made. Releases for Yakkety and Zesty are derived from the Xenial release. Ongoing work on Trusty is made with separate packaging.
As of 3rd of January 2017 the libseccomp
library needs to be updated to
unblock the release. This is tracked in bug LP:#1653487
Component | (Trusty) | (Xenial) | (Yakkety) |
---|---|---|---|
kernel | 4.4.0 | 4.4.0 | 4.8.0 |
systemd | 204 | 229 | 231 |

golang | N/A | 1.6 | 1.6.1 |
gcc | 4.8.2 | 5.3.1 | 6.1.1 |
Note that Trusty uses the Xenial kernel via the LTS enablement packages. Ubuntu 14.10, 15.04 and 15.10 have reached End-Of-Life status and will not receive further support.
Note that the 14.04 build of snapd uses golang-1.6
.
TBD
Snappy is not supported in the Windows 10 Linux subsystem at this time.
Snappy is not supported on any version of MacOS at this time.
