Can't run snapd on Codenvy 5.22.0
Metadata
Current evaluation
Off-topic report: snapd could not run inside Codenvy (Eclipse Che) workspaces. Maintainer redirected to Launchpad and closed; Launchpad bug 1740851 was still open when reviewed.
Resolution: closed not a bug
Reason: The failure was environmental, not a Snapcraft defect — snapd was absent from the Codenvy container, while snapcraft itself built snaps fine. Maintainer kalikiana closed the report on 2018-01-02 asking for it to be filed on Launchpad (bug 1740851), which remained open at review time.

Issue body
I am running snapd on Codenvy 5.22.0 in a Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS workspace. Codenvy is based off of Eclipse Che.
When I try to run `sudo snap install my-snap-name_0.1_amd64.snap --devmode --dangerous` I get the error `error: cannot communicate with server: Post http://localhost/v2/snaps: dial unix /run/snapd.socket: connect: no such file or directory`
`snapcraft`-ing works normally, but I can't install them using `snap install`

| #1740851 Can’t run snapd on Codenvy 5.22.0 | snapcraft (launchpad) | open | snap install fails in a Codenvy (Eclipse Che) container workspace: /run/snapd.socket missing so snapd is unreachable, while snapcraft itself builds fine. No maintainer response; still open, later user reports the same error on s390x Launchpad builds. |
