I'm just getting my feet wet with snap. I've installed vlc and want to try to use it. All my media is installed under /store
, an NFS mount. And snaps don't allow access to that directory.
After googling I've come to understand that I can access files under /home/peter
for the :home
interface and /media
for the :removable-media
interfaces.
But I actually like /store
and don't want to change that to be /media/store
or /home/peter/store
or anything else than /store
.
Is there a way to get snap to allow my snaps (or perhaps just vlc) access to /store
, so snap conforms to my naming conventions or am I forced to convert to snap's preferences?
That seems very inflexible, and I'm hoping there's something I've missed.

To my astonishment, it really looks like
/home
is hardcoded. mount-support.c contains:Wow. That astonishes me. But there you have it.
