FreedomBox uses FirewallD for managing firewall.  Although it's
operation is automatic, manual changes are completely okay and
FreedomBox does not interfere.

Only thing is you need to deal with FirewallD instead of iptables
directly.  This is documented[1][2].

In your case the following should work (assuming you are using samba on
'internal' zone):

$ firewall-cmd --zone=internal --add-service=samba
$ firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=internal --add-service=samba

There is going to be 'sharing' service in FreedomBox, hopefully soon,
that will share a folder via samba, UPnP and possibly other mechanisms.
 Patches welcome[3] :)

- Installing a supported app manually should be fine (don't use UI).

- Installing additional unsupported apps manually should be fine.

- Additional configuration to apps managed by FreedomBox should also be
fine.
