#### Snap notes
`yq` installs with with [_strict confinement_](https://docs.snapcraft.io/snap-confinement/6233) in snap, this means it doesn't have direct access to root files. To read root files you can:
```
2020-01-11 05:01:32 +00:00
sudo cat /etc/myfile | yq r - a.path
```
And to write to a root file you can either use [sponge](https://linux.die.net/man/1/sponge):
```
2020-01-11 05:01:32 +00:00
sudo cat /etc/myfile | yq w - a.path value | sudo sponge /etc/myfile
```
or write to a temporary file:
```
2020-01-11 05:01:32 +00:00
sudo cat /etc/myfile | yq w - a.path value | sudo tee /etc/myfile.tmp
sudo mv /etc/myfile.tmp /etc/myfile
rm /etc/myfile.tmp

Oneshot use:
```bash
docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/workdir mikefarah/yq yq [flags] <command> FILE...
```
Run commands interactively:
```bash
docker run --rm -it -v ${PWD}:/workdir mikefarah/yq sh
```
It can be useful to have a bash function to avoid typing the whole docker command:
```bash
yq() {
docker run --rm -i -v ${PWD}:/workdir mikefarah/yq yq $@
}
```
