Build requirements

Up-to-date snapd and snapcraft packages (snapd 2.20 with the required "classic" snap confinement feature was released on 2017-01-05):

sudo apt-get install snapd snapcraft
sudo snap install core

Build steps

You can set APT_CONFIG as env var or use it every time you want to build

export APT_CONFIG=$PWD/src/repository/apt.conf
snapcraft

or, easier, use the make command in project folder make

Installation

sudo snap install code-rmescandon_2.0.3_amd64.snap --dangerous

Test configuration

Once the snap is installed, check next values in $SNAP_DATA/etc/loolwsd/loolwsd.xml config file:

 <filesystem allow="true" />
 
 <ssl desc="SSL settings">
    <enable type="bool" default="true">false</enable>

in case you need to modify any value in that file, you need to restart the daemon by

 snap disable code-rmescandon && snap enable code-rmescandon 

Test installed Collabora Online

Once the snap is installed, open browser url: http://127.0.0.1:9980/loleaflet/dist/loleaflet.html?file_path=file://////

where /// is the absolute url of a local document to render (odt, docx...)

Remove snap

sudo snap remove code-rmescandon 

Rebuild snap from scratch

make clean && make
