@Dave, just to give you a quick update since quite a lot has happened in this area but that may not be apparent if you are tracking 16.04.
* snap-confine 1.0.44 was updated such that every command with a snap shares the same mount space. That fixes this bug so that different commands in a devmode snap can use 'ip netns' * snapd 2.17 introduced the concept of 'bidirectional mounts' which allows a snap to propagate changes to a mount point to the global namespace or other snaps, which laid the groundwork for your use cases as mentioned in comment #29 * I've built upon this and started working on bug #1624675 for allowing different snaps to create/delete/manage network namespaces with 'ip netns' (as well as use 'ip netns exec' and also setns() to enter existing network namespaces). I'm hoping we can get this in snapd 2.20. I suggest you also subscribe to bug #1624675. If you are tracking 16.04, snapd 2.17.1 and snap-confine 1.0.44 are in xenial-proposed and awaiting confirmation to be released to xenial- updates. This bug will be fixed with those updates. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1611444 Title: Cannot share a namespaces created with 'ip netns' between apps in a devmode SNAP To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snap-confine/+bug/1611444/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
