Snap update
Have you tested this at all? I am pretty sure the npm package doesn't support yarn out of the box?
@sct I just set up a $50/mo sponsorship. This feature is a valuable one for how I run your software and if possible having it prioritized for review and acceptance and the snap updated would be appreciated.
Please, can we get some movement on this? I'd very much like to use Snap :)
Thanks all.
I really hope this can be merged, as I'm also not a fan of Docker. But if Snap is no longer supported, maintainers should update the installation instructions, as they currently read:
The Overseerr snap is the only officially supported Linux install method aside from Docker."
(And yes, in that case, please definitely provide migration instructions! Seems a lot easier to keep the snaffle updated, though.)

Agreed - Lets get this merged, or lets go with an alternative path and update the README
Has anyone on the overseerr team looked at this PR? Any reason to not merge it?
They're still trying to decide if they want Snap. I offered to do Flatpak if thats better
@sct , @samwiseg0 , @OwsleyJr , @danshilm , @TheCatLady - Is the intention to still support snap as an installation mechanism for Linux? If so, why isn't this PR and multiple issues #4203 #4156 #4095 #4087 getting any attention?
It'd be really nice to update this so my setup supports requesting specials. I'd be willing to switch to Docker, but there's no clear official docs on that, and it's not exactly the easiest thing for my setup. Really any updates would be nice on this, either way.
Despite a few attempts to discuss this on Discord, offering to help connect the development team with engineers at Canonical working on snaps, and donating to the project to help prioritize this I feel it won't likely happen which is quite disappointing.
Maybe it's better to research and PR a change to the documentation detailing how to convert from a Snap install to a Docker install.

I agree. If the preferred method going forward would be Docker, I don't mind the switch, but some documentation on performing the conversion to Docker would be highly appreciated.
Perhaps a script that would assist with migrating from snap to Docker would be a better use of their time? I wouldn't mind donating to the project if that would buy a few devs a couple Hello Fresh boxes or a round of coffees for some folks.
If I had time to tinker right now I'd be happy to pitch in my labor, but money is available and time isn't for me.
Kindly, devs, I love Overseerr and it's just WORKED for years now. I want to use the updated version, but I'm currently locked into the outdated snap. Could you toss us homelabbers with a lack of time a bone if we throw a bit of money your way?
If getting a simple snap update reviewed is like pulling teeth from these devs, I'm inclined to fork the damn thing myself and use AI to fix it... This is ridiculous.
