Snap Ubuntu 24.04 server

Hi,
I installed the snap for Emby from the Snapcraft store and it did not create Emby user or any of the permissions.  Just checking if anyone else had this issue

HI, what permissions are you referring to?

I guess I am saying no Emby user was created, it did not even start up.

My snap knowledge is a bit rusty since this was made a long time ago, but the snap is created as a daemon of type simple (see https://snapcraft.io/docs/services-and-daemons).

Installing the snap should create an emby-server service that you can run, and IIRC the app will run as root.

I would recommended using our deb instead if you want more control, that one does create an emby user and provides a systemd service that is automatically started.
