Have you ever used it in a production / server environment?

One of the problems I have with Snap is that it does auto-updates. So you can't control when updates are performed. Furthermore, you can only use Canonical's repository. So if you want to use a custom build of some sort, you can't - unless you pay big bucks to Canonical.



It's funny because I found a way to disable auto update for snaps in 2 minutes by Googling and half of the angry voices in gere are because of auto updates. What is going on?


There is this announcement about a new snap release from November 2022 [1] in which they made this possible. So this is a relatively recent addition. Before that, Snap basically did everything in its powers to ensure that all packages were continuously updated.
