Is it possible to install or run multiple copies of a snap package, each with it's own isolated copy of app config / data?

  • I know it's possible to install two instances of the same snap package, because I've done it, but I don't remember how I did it. I'm posting this comment as a service to anyone who would otherwise post an answer claiming in it that it can't be done.

  • Parallel snap installs is listed as upcoming on the snapd roadmap. If you have the snapcraft.yaml then you may be able to do it now by renaming the snap, snapping by setting up LXD then running SNAPCRAFT_CONTAINER_BUILDS=1 snapcraft (not snapcraft cleanbuild), then installing the snap with --dangerous.
