Configuration

Configuration is done via Python ini configuration files. The defaults should be suitable for most users, so you may not need to do any configuration at all. By default only the root snapper configuration is snapshotted.

A commented example configuration files is located at /etc/snap-pac.ini.example.

To configure, copy the example configuration file:

cp /etc/snap-pac.ini{.example,}

Then edit with your favorite editor. The file is commented and should be self-explanatory.

Each section corresponds with a snapper configuration. Add additional sections to add other snapper configurations to be snapshotted. By default, only the root configuration is snapshotted.

Environment Variables

To temporarily prevent snapshots from being performed for a single pacman command, set the environment variable SNAP_PAC_SKIP. For example:

sudo SNAP_PAC_SKIP=y pacman -Syu
