I spent two hours today trying to figure out why Nextcloud couldn’t read my data directory. Docker wasn’t mounting my data directory. Moved everything into my data directory. Docker couldn’t even see the configuration file.
Turns out the Docker Snap package only has access to files under the /home directory.
Moral of the story: never trust a Snap package.

For desktop apps maybe. How do you run a flatpak from the cli? “flatpak run org.something.Command”. Awesome.
Both suffer from not making it obvious what directories your application can access and not providing a clear message when you try to access files it can’t. The user experience sucks.
