The Snap Store will undergo scheduled database maintenance on July 5, 2026 22:00 to July 6, 02:00 UTC. During this time, you will not be able to install or update snaps. No user action is required and services will automatically resume once maintenance is complete.
rebootstrap-raft creates an empty raft cluster directory with server
configuration based on the current replicaset members. It's intended as
an emergency utility to resolve situations where the raft store has been
corrupted somehow.
For safety, it won't overwrite raft data—any existing raft directory
/var/lib/juju/raft will need to be removed or renamed. The new raft
directory won't have any lease information in it, but if the Juju
controller is part of an HA cluster and the other nodes still have lease
information, it will be replicated to this one when the controller agent
is started.
Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install rebootstrap-raft
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.
For versions of Ubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include snap by default, snap can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for snapd.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
