Problem:
$ hello-world
cannot bind mount /home to /tmp/snap.rootfs_vAgIND/home. errmsg: Permission denied

When /home is a symlink snaps don't work.
When /home is a real directory snaps work, see output below

Output:
marcin@ubuntu:~$ snap list

Hello, world!

Hello World!
marcin@ubuntu:~$ sudo rm -R /home && sudo ln -s /media/Dane/.home/ /home
marcin@ubuntu:~$ hello-world
cannot bind mount /home to /tmp/snap.rootfs_vAgIND/home. errmsg: Permission denied
marcin@ubuntu:~$

My configuration:

$ ll /home
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Sep 6 20:02 /home -> /media/Dane/.home//

As /media/Dane is encrypted with LUKS+ext4 fs. I tried to use hardlink but they are not allowed for directories:(
