I've been involved with snapd, ubuntu-core and snaps for many years and I've recently created an integration-testing system that lets me test racket snap running on the IoT/embedded ubuntu-core distribution in a fully automated manner: [racket-smoke-tests](https://gitlab.com/zygoon/racket-smoke-tests).

At present it only runs one hello-world program but I plan to run more tests over time. You can _also_ expect to find more experiments and more operating systems tested there in coming days. The system is powered by [Image Garden](https://gitlab.com/zygoon/image-garden) which provides test images for a number of Linux distributions and releases.

How often does this run?

Racket has a lot of tests running in Github Actions. Do you plan to copy all of them? Most of them?

(A long time ago, I added a few automated tests to other repositories in the Racket ecosystem, and it was very useful to catch a few corner cases.)
