What runs at boot on the Jetson, and the one-command shortcut.

the units·

unit kind runs
neon-compose.service user, scripts/systemd/ docker compose up -d: agent, dashboard, telegram, thinker
neon-voice.service system, scripts/systemd/ g1_speech_listener.py in the host venv: USB mic and ALSA need the host
neon-ctl.service user, scripts/systemd/ scripts/neon_ctl.py: the dashboard's host channel (recreate containers, restart voice, refresh the camera token); its sudoers file allows exactly systemctl restart/status/is-active neon-voice
neon-wifi-watchdog.timer system, scripts/systemd/ every minute, falls back to the neon_net hotspot profile when wlan0 has no known network
neon-docker.service system, repo root what make setup installs: docker compose up --build -d, the compose stack alone

neon-compose and neon-voice are ordered After=time-sync.target: the Jetson has no RTC battery and boots at 1970, and a dashboard service token minted at that clock is refused everywhere (see docker).

mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user
cp scripts/systemd/neon-compose.service scripts/systemd/neon-ctl.service ~/.config/systemd/user/
loginctl enable-linger "$USER"
systemctl --user daemon-reload && systemctl --user enable --now neon-compose neon-ctl
sudo cp scripts/systemd/neon-voice.service /etc/systemd/system/ && sudo systemctl enable --now neon-voice
sudo install -m 0440 scripts/systemd/neon-ctl.sudoers /etc/sudoers.d/neon-ctl && sudo visudo -c

the shortcut·

cd ~/neon-the-g1 && make setup

First run creates .env and stops for your keys; the second builds, starts the stack and installs neon-docker.service. Voice and neon-ctl are not part of it; install them from the table above.

manage·

systemctl --user status neon-compose neon-ctl
sudo systemctl status neon-voice          # journalctl -u neon-voice -f for the voice log
make ps                                   # every neon process: docker, systemd, bare-metal
make voice-status                         # muted or live
make uninstall-service                    # removes neon + neon-docker (the make setup units)
