Snap Store Setup (One-Time)¶

1. Create a Snap Store account¶

Register at https://snapcraft.io/account

2. Register the snap name¶

sudo snap install snapcraft --classic
snapcraft login
snapcraft register yazses

3. Apply for classic confinement¶

YazSes needs classic confinement to access /dev/input keyboard events via evdev. Strict confinement has no interface that grants keyboard /dev/input/event* access.

Apply in the Snap Store dashboard → Your snap → Request classic confinement. Explain: "YazSes reads keyboard events via /dev/input/event* using the Python evdev library. The joystick interface only covers joystick devices, not keyboards. No strict interface provides this access."

Canonical reviews these manually (typically 1–2 weeks).

4. Get store credentials for CI¶

snapcraft export-login --snaps=yazses --channels=stable credentials.txt
cat credentials.txt

Add the full credentials output as GitHub Secret SNAPCRAFT_STORE_CREDENTIALS.

5. After classic is approved¶

Users install with:

sudo snap install yazses --classic

To set up auto-start:

mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MSKazemi/yazses/main/contrib/yazses.service \
  -o ~/.config/systemd/user/yazses.service
systemctl --user enable --now yazses.service
