Nothing everything needed is possible just by installing packages, so a script would be needed to actually get things working. For example, any daemon or app that uses internet would have to be granted INTERNET permission, i.e. adding them to that permission group, i.e. `adduser app_123 internet` .hc -- PGP fingerprint: 5E61 C878 0F86 295C E17D 8677 9F0F E587 374B BE81 https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0x9F0FE587374BBE81
