Snap Status

A compact maintenance dashboard for snaps published by popey. It compares the versions in stable, candidate, beta, and edge against each project's latest upstream release. The interface is built with Canonical Vanilla Framework to match the Ubuntu and Snap ecosystem.

• Discovers the current public Snap Store inventory for publisher popey.
• Retains explicitly configured snaps that are temporarily unpublished.
• Collapses architecture-specific Store revisions while exposing version variants.
• Fetches upstream versions from GitHub, Codeberg, and npm.
• Retries transient API failures with exponential backoff and refuses to deploy broadly degraded Store data.
• Classifies each snap as:
  • Current — stable has reached upstream.
  • In testing — candidate, beta, or edge has reached upstream.
  • Update needed — every published channel is behind upstream.
  • Needs mapping — the upstream source is not yet identified.
  • Manual review — the source is known but has no safely comparable release feed.
  • No updates expected — an intentionally static snap has no upstream lifecycle.
• Links manual entries to their source repository and intentional static entries to their background story.
• Supports search, status filters, sortable columns, responsive layouts, and accessible reduced-motion behavior.
• Refreshes and deploys hourly without making automated data commits.

Snap Store API ─┐
GitHub API ─────┼─ scripts/collect.py ─ public/data.json ─ Vite static app
Codeberg API ───┤                                      └─ Cloudflare Workers Assets
npm registry ───┘

The maintained-snap and upstream-provider map lives in config/snaps.json. Missing or unusual upstreams are displayed as unknown rather than guessed.

Requirements: Node.js 24+ and Python 3.11+.

npm ci --ignore-scripts
GITHUB_TOKEN="$(gh auth token)" npm run collect
npm run verify
npm run dev

The collector only needs GITHUB_TOKEN to avoid the unauthenticated GitHub API rate limit; it does not need Snap Store credentials.

The app uses Cloudflare Workers Static Assets. wrangler.jsonc declares snaps.popey.com as a custom domain.

GitHub Actions requires these repository secrets:

• CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN — token with Workers Scripts edit and zone route/domain permissions.
• CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID — the Cloudflare account ID.

After setting both secrets, set the repository variable CLOUDFLARE_DEPLOY_ENABLED to true. Until then, scheduled deployment jobs are cleanly skipped rather than failing every hour.

The Refresh and deploy workflow runs at minute 17 each hour, generates data inside the runner, verifies the project, and deploys it directly. It never commits generated data back to the repository.
