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.
If this does not suit your needs you can take a look at the forks which cover different tools.
Manual
Login
