Arcus is a lightweight proxy to the Snap Store for your snap devices. Once installed and configured, your devices can be configured to talk to the Snap Store via Arcus. Arcus caches downloaded snaps, and acts as a single point of egress from your network.
# Quickstart
Install the ols-arcus snap and run:
ols-arcus.arcus register https://my.arcus.internal me@example.com
to register and configure your arcus instance. After that's done, client device configuration instructions will be printed out. Run
ols-arcus.arcus register --help
for details on the register command arguments.
# TLS
tls sub-command can be used to manage the TLS certificate used by arcus to
encrypt traffic it receives from client devices. The registration command,
generates a self signed certificate for arcus, if the registered arcus
location is an HTTPS location. This certificate can be changed or exported
as needed using the tls command. tls --off and tls --on can be used to
disable/enable TLS.
# Status
status command will print out the most essential information about the running
Arcus instance.
# Configuration
configure command can be used for finer grade management of configuration
options.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.
You need first add the snappy repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.
Tumbleweed:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
Leap 15.x:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
If needed, Swap out openSUSE_Leap_15. for, openSUSE_Leap_16.0 if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.
With the repository added, import its GPG key:
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new snappy repository:
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
Snap can now be installed with the following:
sudo zypper install snapd
You then need to either reboot, logout/login or source /etc/profile to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the snapd and the snapd.apparmor services with the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
To install ols-arcus, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install ols-arcus --beta
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
