So are you storing this database in $SNAP_COMMON? Because $SNAP_DATA
would do this for you, no?<br>

Hey Aaron,<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
sounds like a great plan for usability!<br
class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
I would suggest using configure hooks to proceed
that. Hooks are just a<br class="gmail_msg">
way for users to set variable=value. Based on
that, you can control your<br class="gmail_msg">
daemon with a configure script (triggered by this
command) inside your<br class="gmail_msg">
snap. This one can triggers start and stop inside
a mongodb daemon<br class="gmail_msg">
wrapper (waiting for a certain value to be passed
for instance before<br class="gmail_msg">
executing the real daemon).<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
The documentation is not yet published on <a

class="gmail_msg" target="_blank">snapcraft.io</a>
AFAIK, but is<br class="gmail_msg">

we need a new core image<br class="gmail_msg">
to have snapctl available from your snap, and so,
you won't be able to<br class="gmail_msg">
experiment it right away.<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
I'll probably write a codelab on this precise
