Skynet: Setup
=================================
<!-- column_layout: [1, 6, 1] -->
<!-- column: 1 -->
<!-- incremental_lists: true -->
* We are going to divide it into two segments
  * ``New Members``
  * ``Returning Members``
* First up is ``New Members``

<!-- end_slide -->

Setup: New Members
=================================
<!-- column_layout: [1, 6, 1] -->
<!-- column: 1 -->
<!-- incremental_lists: true -->
1. Be a fully paid up member of UL Computer Society
2. Go to https://account.skynet.ie/signup.  
   * Enter the same email used for UL Wolves
3. You will get an email to verify your address, follow the link.
4. Choose a ``username`` and ``password``. 
5. Congrats! You are in! _heist music_

<!-- end_slide -->
Setup: Returning Members
=================================
<!-- column_layout: [1, 6, 1] -->
<!-- column: 1 -->
# Set Email
<!-- incremental_lists: true -->
1. Please go to https://account.skynet.ie/modify.
    * Enter the same email used for UL Wolves
2. Congrats! You are in! _heist music_

# Recovery
## Forgotten Username
If you have forgotten your ``username``.  
Use https://account.skynet.ie/recover/username

## Forgotten Password
If you have forgotten your ``password``.  
Use https://account.skynet.ie/recover/password


<!-- end_slide -->
Setup: SSH Key
=================================
<!-- column_layout: [1, 6, 1] -->
<!-- column: 1 -->
SSH keys are used for a variety of reasons:

<!-- incremental_lists: true -->
* Logging into servers
  * Authentication
* CI/CD Pipelines


<!-- end_slide -->
Setup: SSH Key - Creation
=================================
<!-- column_layout: [1, 6, 1] -->
<!-- column: 1 -->

# Prepwork
```bash
cd ~/.ssh
mkdir skynet
cd skynet
```

# Creation
```bash
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "<comment>"
```

* Location: ``$USERNAME``
  * ``$USERNAME`` is your Skynet username.
  * For example ``silver`` for me
* Password: Press Enter twice
  * This sets no password on the file

This creates ``$USERNAME.pub`` which we will use later.

<!-- end_slide -->
Setup: SSH Key - Config
=================================
<!-- column_layout: [1, 6, 1] -->
<!-- column: 1 -->

Now we have to create a config file for ssh.

# Windows
```powershell
cd ../
"" > config
```

# Linux
```bash
cd ../
touch config
```

In that ``config`` file pop this:
```
Host *.skynet.ie
   User $USERNAME
   IdentityFile ~/.ssh/skynet/$USERNAME
   IdentitiesOnly yes
```

<!-- end_slide -->
Setup: SSH Key - Account
=================================
<!-- column_layout: [1, 6, 1] -->
<!-- column: 1 -->

<!-- incremental_lists: true -->
* Now we need to add it to your account. 
* Remember the ``$USERNAME.pub`` in ``~/.ssh/skynet`` ?
* We now need to read it

```bash
cat ~/.ssh/skynet/$USERNAME.pub
```

<!-- incremental_lists: true -->
* Copy the text and go to https://account.skynet.ie/modify
* Select the SSH Key field and submit.


Congratulations, you now have full access to all of Skynet's services!  
Now to learn _how_ to access them!
