Hey Robert,
There is no plug to read from /etc on purpose. The goal is your snap to
be relocatable and not relying on anything system-wide, so that it can
run in different context. That's why you need to find a way to embedded
this file and looking for local assets.
But aren't snaps running inside chroots? Why does "/etc" refer to the
system /etc instead of the /etc inside the snap chroot? Am I
understanding correctly that snaps bindmount the system /etc into the
snap chroot and then don't provide any permission to read anything in
there?
I think it would be nice if "/etc" was just inside my snap chroot and
my snap thus had total ownership of the entire dir.
/etc refers to the one from the ubuntu-core snap + some bindmounts from
systems. However, they are not an overlay for your snap and shared with
the system.
It can get a bit confusing when writing snaps on desktops; there is a
chroot but not so much for the snap but for core where the snap lives on
top; it is all much more clearer if running an all snap system like
Ubuntu Core.
