Hi there,

I want to monitor the statistics of my pi running FreedomBox. On all my other Raspberry’s i have Netdata to monitor that.

Question…  
Is it possible to install Netdata through command-line?

Greets and im loving the FreedomBox so far ;-))  
Keep up the good work!!!

Generally speaking you can install anything you want as FreedomBox is just a preconfigured Debian installation. If you are not experienced enough to get it working I suggest you try [Cockpit](https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Manual#FreedomBox.2FManual.2FCockpit.Cockpit_.28Server_Administration.29) which is already integrated in FreedomBox and also shows performance metrics.

For alerting there is a [proposal](https://salsa.debian.org/freedombox-team/plinth/issues/1042) for a plinth module.
