I know how to configure APT to use a web proxy. But what about snap?

snapd reads /etc/environment, so setting the usual proxy environment variables there works. On Ubuntu, that's done automatically for you by Settings → Network → Network proxy, so as long as you restart snapd after changing that file you should be set.

Being more specific, the snapd.service file is located here: /lib/systemd/system/snapd.service – darkhole May 26 '16 at 13:28
    
@darkhole one shouldn't edit /lib/systemd/system/snapd.service, but use systemctl edit snapd.service. See my answer: askubuntu.com/questions/659267/… – muru Jun 7 '16 at 13:57
    
Well what if one wants to automate this configuration? – pmatulis Dec 19 '16 at 16:18

Remember, you will need to restart the snapd service before these changes take effect. – Seth♦ Jan 11 '17 at 22:07
