There's some further discussion about the topic of this PR here: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/access-to-specific-hidden-file-path-in- users-home/6948/8 Josh, we're are researching about a way to solve problems similar to the ones you describe.

> I don't think we will add a generic "this dot file" interface but we can easily add a dedicated one (for a specific dot file) because this has measurable security impact and can be appropriately gated. Even if you disregard text editors, how are you expecting for tools like Shellcheck[1] to be able to function as snaps? I'd like to check various files (.bashrc, .bash_profile, .profile, .bash_logout, and those are just the relatively standard ones) with Shellcheck, but if I use the snap, I can't, and it sounds like you're not interested in changing this. Should I just not be using the Shellcheck snap?

[Bug 1607067] Re: Add a dotfiles / hidden files interface
Hello. Sorry for the lag, we have a few bugs and feature requests and just a handful of hands to make them all fixed. We have added one pair of interfaces, specifically for ssh keys (public and private) as a pair of interfaces. I don't think we will add a generic "this dot file" interface but we can easily add a dedicated one (for a specific dot file) because this has measurable security impact and can be appropriately gated. I would prefer to close this bug and open one for a specific new interface. Such interface can be implemented and tested in about an hour. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1607067 Title: Add a dotfiles / hidden files interface To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/1607067/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1607067] Re: Add a dotfiles / hidden files interface
This bug is nearly 2 years and and severely limiting the usability of snap packages. Since I know Canonical is pushing snaps crazy hard, I would have expected some movement on this sooner. This needs to be a priority. You can't expect average desktop users to know how to either install a snap in devmode, or symlink their dotfiles from the snap app's directory. For the rest of us, this is just tedious and unnecessary. Perhaps a better solution for things like SSH keys would be to deny access to 600 mode files or something? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1607067 Title: Add a dotfiles / hidden files interface To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/1607067/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1607067] Re: Add a dotfiles / hidden files interface
It would seem pointless to have this restriction on "home" if it was only another interface away to get to those files: as I understand it, dot files are assumed to contain sensitive information and therefore excluded, so I can sleep well knowing that nothing would read my .ssh for example just because it's using the "home" interface. That said, I did run into this, and had to tweak some environment variables because things like .config and .bash_history are not readable. And it's not a huge problem - it's mainly an issue of discoverability. Users of my snap need to know where to find or put files. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1607067 Title: Add a dotfiles / hidden files interface To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snappy/+bug/1607067/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
