[Samba] Warning about using snaps (ubuntu)

[samba-ml-en]

Dear list members,

I have met yet another issue with Ubuntu and what is considered a standard with Samba.

Ubuntu is now mainly using snap for many apps. After joining my domain, I realised no snaps could run, and found out that snaps cannot run outside of the /home/$USER directory. Meaning they will NOT run in /home/$DOMAIN/$USER.

So you have to do the following in smb.conf

# template homedir = /home/%D/%U
template homedir = /home/%U

Otherwise, snaps will not start due to apparmor blocking them, I could not not find a workaround so far.

Have a great evening.

Eric
