lxd-snapper VS Umpire

Why would you want to use snapper instead of LXD's built-in snapshots or lxd-snapper?

lxd-snapper is a tool that takes snapshots.schedule to the next level - it's a fancy wrapper for lxc snapshot & lxc delete that supports rich, Borg-style retention policies and hooks:

The reason for this is that I'd like to use an RAII pattern to control player turns in Umpire. When the struct is initialized, it starts the player's turn, and when the struct is dropped, it ends the player's turn.

Wound up with some time so I figured I'd port my Umpire military strategy game to a client-server architecture so people can play it online. This will give me some experience with Tokio, tarpc, and async Rust generally, since I'm eyeing a possible Rust dev gig in my future.

I've done a little bit of Rust development on Windows and had a good experience. I ported my (still unfinished) Umpire game to Windows pretty easily. I had to rename some files that had colons in the filename which Windows didn't like. The actual hard part was the terminal library, but switching to crossterm was pretty straightforward. All in all it was pretty painless.
