Troubleshooting¶

To check egress firewall rules:

snap-proxy check-connections

Logs are available in systemd logs:

snap logs snap-store-proxy

or:

journalctl -u 'snap.snap-store-proxy.*'

The snap-proxy snap includes multiple systemd services, the status of which can be checked with:

snap-proxy status

Or:

sudo systemctl status -a 'snap.snap-store-proxy.*'

To restart the snap-proxy services, run:

sudo snap restart snap-proxy

The download cache is at /var/snap/snap-store-proxy/current/nginx/cache. The default limit is 2GB, this can be changed with:

sudo snap-proxy config proxy.cache.size=4096  # in mb

Moving to a new hostname¶

If you need to move the snap-proxy to a new hostname, you can do:

sudo snap-proxy config proxy.domain=NEWDOMAIN
sudo snap-proxy reregister

This perform another registration cycle and update the assertion file with the new domain name. Then you will need to run snap ack on the client devices to replace the existing assertion.

Known issues¶

The snap download command doesn’t do the download of the snap through snapd service, and therefore doesn’t know about the Snap Store Proxy and will try to fetch the snap directly. Forum thread
Need to be root when configuring the snap proxy. Forum thread
