#### Dashboard Controller

This is a small demo put together by the Canonical team. It features a dashboard not unlike the one you would
have in Auto. It is used to illustrate the power of snaps in Ubuntu and Ubuntu Core.

The dashboard-ui is "powered" by the dashboard-controller snap. So you want BOTH installed.

If you then go in dashboard-controller and edit the code for the color (device-controller/app/main.py), the dashboard will change>
Valid colors are blue, green and red. If you try to put another color, the ui will not accept it and request
snapd to revert the controller to its previous version (because, yes, you can do that with snaps).

Furthermore, you will need to ensure that the proper plugs are connected to the proper slots. This is what you should have:

For dashboard-controller
Interface Plug Slot Notes
network dashboard-controller:network :network -
network-bind dashboard-controller:network-bind :network-bind -

For dashboard-ui
Interface Plug Slot Notes
network dashboard-ui:network :network -
network-bind dashboard-ui:network-bind :network-bind -
snapd-control dshboard-ui:snapd-control :snapd-control manual

Note: both the network and network-bind will be connected automatically. But snapd-control WON'T BE
VERY IMPORTANT: DO -> sudo snap connect dashboard-ui:snapd-control (which will connect to :snapd-control)
OTHERWISE the rollback capability will NOT WORK
