snap version out of date

[axinojolais]

Hello,

I'd like to give k9s a try, and the easiest way for me to do this is to use a snap.
I see that you published to the snapstore a few years ago, but the version overthere is now very out of date.

Would you mind refreshing it ?

Thanks !

@derailed i love keeping up with the most current of this binary, but would also love it as an updated snap.

@addyess @axinojolais I've tried to ask snapcraft team about the developer site (at least) and they just ignore my reports. If you know how to contact their team - please share contacts with me: slimusgm (at) gmail.com. Thanks!

[addyess]

@slimus if i can get in contact with them, what kind of help do you need?

[slimus]

@addyess

1. Remove or replace 'developer site' on that page.
2. How to get access to that page. If it's not possible - remove that page to be able to create a new one with access.

thanks in advance!

@slimus

as to 1)

login from the admin who created the page in the first place, all the bits and knobs can be changed at https://snapcraft.io/k9s/listing

But it sounds like you'd first need to address 2) -- getting access

It seems to me that @derailed is the owner, and could perhaps grant others access to publish snaps?

it looks like https://forum.snapcraft.io/c/store-requests/19 might be the best way to contact the snapstore team for transferals and the like. I think i see communication regarding this project there

@slimus

I also was advised that you:

ask @slimus to try registering the k9s name on https://dashboard.snapcraft.io/register-snap/. He will be asked to file a dispute and provide some rationale.

[slimus]

@addyess thank you! Let me try it again and discuss it with Fernand

[addyess]

@slimus please let me know if there's anything else i can do

[axinojolais]

@slimus hello ! I got a notification from github where you were asking us to test the snap, did that get deleted here somehow ? Anyway I tried and I updated #2123 with a comment

Thanks again

[slimus]

@axinojolais hello! My bad, sorry. I updated snap package and then realized - I needed to do more to make it available. I'm still trying to understand the process. Thanks for the comment, I'll add apps section today.

[addyess]

i was able to use the snap's binary with:

/snap/k9s/current/bin/k9s

but the alias wasn't installed in /snap/bin preventing me from simply running with

k9s

[slimus]

Because we use kube/config we should use confinement: classic. But in this case, we should go through reviewing process.
I changed snapcraft.yaml file, but still not sure about these changes.

Another problem - snap creates a temp folder in /tmp folder to isolate the disk between multiple snaps. But k9s doesn't know about this isolation, and k9s info shows (in my case) /tmp/k9s-romanenko.log but the real log is located in another place: /tmp/snap-private-tmp/snap.k9s/tmp/k9s-romanenko.log

@addyess I think I fixed your problem. Please try to reinstall k9s. Thanks!

[addyess]

yeah, something still doesn't feel right, i don't believe the snap has changed

On Ubuntu 22.04 (WSL) there still the issue with the path. Can't open k9s (command not found) after installed it with Snap.
Need to use alias k9s=/snap/k9s/current/bin/k9s to use.

[kmgrime]

i was able to use the snap's binary with:

/snap/k9s/current/bin/k9s

but the alias wasn't installed in /snap/bin preventing me from simply running with

k9s

Can be solved with a softlink

sudo ln -s /snap/k9s/current/bin/k9s /snap/bin/

Worked on Fedora 38 after installing k9s with Snap. (:+1:

[addyess]

hey @slimus sorry i've not checked back in on this for a while. I'd still love to help you get the into the store

Is there anything i can help with in the process
