Missing instructions for Nextcloud snap variant

[omyno]

After following the instructions for installing pdlib („easy way“) and enabling face recognition via Nextcloud‘s app store, I get the following message:

~$ sudo nextcloud.occ app:enable facerecognition App "Face Recognition" cannot be installed because the following dependencies are not fulfilled: The library pdlib is not available.

How would I go about installing pdlib for the Nextcloud snap?

Hi @omyno Honestly i don't have absolutely any experience with snap.

From what little I understand, it uses the same container technology as a docker, and flatpak. Therefore, you will have to compile a new nextcloud-snap instance adding the pdlib dependency.

• https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloud-snap/blob/master/snap/snapcraft.yaml

I suggest you open a issue in the nextcloud-snap repository.

Excuse me, but I can't help you. :disappointed: If you can install it, I would be happy to add it to the documentation. :wink:

by recompiling the snap package, you loose most advantages of using snap - namely automatic updating, if you want to have custom apps with their own mishandled dependencies in nextcloud, i would advise against using snap. related nextcloud snap bug: https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloud-snap/issues/1458

Same problem for me running nextcloud as snap variant. Any chance to integrate the missing libraries into the recognition app? Thankyou
