Which I already see that is not writeable in my Ubuntu Core install. Also I am going to use some commands that I haven't yet tested on Ubuntu Core. Mostly "ip" and "iptables", also in non-default network namespaces. And I don't know if they need internally write-access to some file. Do you see anything about it that would be infeasible in a Ubuntu Core as it currently stands? If not, what is my next step? Will I need to build a custom Ubuntu Core image? While testing, would I be able to remount the current image file system in read-write? --Luca -- Snapcraft mailing list Snapcraft@lists.snapcraft.io Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/snapcraft
