I’ve already read this topic, but how can I grant access to the LibreELEC configuration if SSH is unavailable? I tried to do everything via HTTP — it connects; I tried to access the files via the command line and enter SSH (also with a negative result); I can’t even view the folders in the system by IP — it doesn’t detect them. I’ve tried different versions of Kodi — either I’m stupid, or I don’t know. I’d be very grateful for any help.
[x86-64] The “LibreELEC Configuration” add‑on does not start and it is not possible to launch ssh.

Hi, In the LibreElec addon you can enable the SSH service.
To access the file system without LE, the simplest way is to boot a live linux from USB.
Hint: install the Ventoy boot manager to your USB stick then "drop" one (or more) live-linux ISO file to stick. -
Edit the syslinux.cfg file in the LIBREELEC partition on USB/SD boot media and add ssh to the boot params line. This will force the daemon to start on boot. However if this is a clean LE12.x install, something is wrong for the add-on to be faulting or not running and SSH access probably won't solve that, and I'd recommend retesting with a current LE13 nightly first.

The night build also fails to open the LibreELEC configuration; I edited the file, but it ignores it.
