# Create your own website on Skynet

One of the services that Skynet provides is access to a Linux server which also has a webserver.  
Additionally each member gets their own domain:

* $USERNAME.users.skynet.ie
  * This is the core web address
  * https://silver.users.skynet.ie
* skynet.ie/~$USERNAME
  * This is backwards compatible to help avoid link rot
  * Redirects to the core address above
  * https://skynet.ie/~silver

## Website
There are two ways to create a website on Skynet, Modern and Manual.  
Modern is using Source Control (git), pipelines (CI/CD) and pinch of magic.  
Manual gets you hands on with the process.

### Modern
Modern involves using source control to version your site.  
This is then leveraged to automatically deploy to your Skynet account/website.

The core repo for this is [here][deploy_user].  
If this does not suit your needs you can take a look at the [forks which cover different tools][deploy_user_forks].

[deploy_user]: https://forgejo.skynet.ie/Skynet/deploy_user
[deploy_user_forks]: https://forgejo.skynet.ie/Skynet/deploy_user/forks

### Manual
## Login
Once ye have [logged in](./create_ssh.md) you will be able to create a website on Skynet.

In your home folder follow these commands to create the folder that can be used to host a website

```bash
mkdir ~/public_html 
chmod 711 ~
chmod -R 755 ~/public_html
cd ~/public_html 
```

To transfer files graphically you can use these programs:
* WinSCP
* FileZilla

Anything put there will be accessible under ``https://$USERNAME.users.skynet.ie``.
