It is still possible to set config location as an option, but needs modification to `snap` packaging.

> I installed syncthing from [https://snapcraft.io/syncthing](https://snapcraft.io/syncthing) because version that comes with Ubuntu is terribly outdated - [still 1.1.4](https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/syncthing) - and doesn’t work with my other devices. However, the snap version creates its own /home/techtonik/snap/syncthing/common/syncthing/config.xml which does not persist after removing syncthing. For the snap version I’d appreciate the option to reuse config in ~/.config/synthing using the command like sudo snap set syncthing homeconfig=true as documented in [https://s…](https://snapcraft.io/docs/adding-snap-configuration)
