+Administration via SystemD
+--------------------------
+
+After the Debian installation, the installed unit files
+should be listed by the following command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   # systemctl list-unit-files | egrep '(nexus|sandbox)'
+
+Both ``nexus.service`` and ``sandbox.service`` should appear.
+
+At this point, the services can be started on boot:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   # systemctl enable nexus # use 'disable' to rollback
+   # systemctl enable sandbox
+
+Or just manually:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   # systemctl start nexus # use 'stop' to terminate.
+   # systemctl start sandbox
+
+Generally, the following command should inform the
+user about the status of the running / terminated service:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   # systemctl status nexus
+
+For more diagnostics, use:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   # journalctl -u nexus
+
