If you have a specific goal, but are already familiar with snaps, our How-to guides have more in-depth detail than our tutorials and can be applied to a broader set of applications. They’ll help you achieve an end result but may require you to understand and adapt the steps to fit your specific requirements.
Manage snaps
The snap system has been designed to look after itself with automatic security and update policies. However, these elements, and many others, can also be configured and managed manually.
- Manage updates: Control when snaps update, or hold an update indefinitely
- Connect interfaces: Control exactly what a snap can access, and what it can’t
- Configure snaps: Learn how to set options for your servers and daemons
Maintain snaps
Outside of whatever facilities a snapped application may provide, snaps also provides data snapshots, usage quotas and control over if when when a service runs.
- Create data snapshots: Make a copy of a snap’s user, system and configuration data
- Use quota resources: Set processor and memory resource limits on your snaps
- Control services: Start, stop and restart snapped background services
