    I haven't looked for all of the apps I need, I just started running my provisioning script, that I wrote so that I didn't have to remember everything I do when I set up a new Pi, but the biggies are:

    Email (outbound); gpg; Dropbox-Uploader

    I think those are the main ones that I load onto all of my non-primary server, that aren't completely critical for my scripts. I don't have your standalone image running right now (I'm seeing what happens if I install Kodi on top of a full OS install), so I'm assuming that basic commands like tar, tree, cp, mv, etc are available. I don't really know how much else I'm missing without actually trying to execute my custom scripts.

    I should explain that I was I.T. for 37+ years, so I kind of expect to be able to do whatever I think is needed on all the servers I support. I never developed a "user" mindset, whereby someone else decides what's best for my machines.

    I have several Raspberry Pi's and on all of them I run some custom bash shell scripts for monitoring purposes. For example, I have one to monitor for temperature going to high, another to monitor for under-voltage condition, etc. If there are problems, it seems me an email, so that I can work on it.

    I would like to run these scripts on my LibreElec server as well, but I cannot install the packages necessary to do so.

    Is there any way to install packages on the LibreElec image? Or possibly install LibreElec on top of a "normal" Raspberry Pi OS installation?

    Or do I have to just hope that this server never overheats or drops below the power requirements?
