---------------
there is a user config file starts off mostly empty. 
It overrides anything in the other configs.


add skills to be blacklisted
add to config file at
~neon/.config/neon/neon.yaml

If you’re curious what those defaults are
cat /etc/neon/neon.yam
I don’t recommend editing that file because updates will override it. Copy relevant sections to your user config then make changes there [mike]

#to restart neon service:
sudo systemctl restart neon

#get status update:
sudo systemctl status neon-\*

#latest version available:
https://github.com/NeonGeckoCom/NeonCore/releases

#check current version:

cat /opt/neon/build_info.json 


---------------------

#update   #*************UPDATE***************
sudo systemctl start neon-updater
**UPDATE**
This will start an update, but maybe not to the version you'd expect. sudo /opt/neon/update master will update to the latest stable version
and sudo /opt/neon/update dev will update to the latest alpha version.

Can I install neon on an existing debian/armbian platform ?
https://github.com/NeonGeckoCom/neon-image-recipe
Untested, but if you clone that to a running debian and run automation/run_scripts.sh you can interactively run some of the installer scripts I use to build RPi images
