# Deploying to Skynet
This is a repo that is used as a template to deploy to Skynet.
It takes all the files in ``src`` and uploads them to your folder on ``skynet.skynet.ie`` and makes them available at ``https://$USERNAME.users.skynet.ie``.
This makes it easier to deploy your own custom website.
If this is not to your liking you can check out the forks: https://forgejo.skynet.ie/Skynet/deploy_user/forks
You may find one that is to your liking.
If you want to add another template please get in contact with the Skynet Team.
## Create a Skynet Account
To be able to have a website on Skynet you must first have a Skynet account.
[Instructions on how to create a Skynet Account](https://wiki.skynet.ie/tutorials/skynet/create_account)
## Create SSH Key
Details to do this can be found on our: [wiki](https://wiki.skynet.ie/tutorials/skynet/create_ssh/)
``Prep`` and ``Create Key`` are the steps to follow in this, the full page covers far more than what ye need.
It is recommended to create a new key for just Forgejo Actions.
### Do not add a password to the key
Adding a password will cause the pipeline to fail.
### Add key to Skynet account
Add the contents of ``$USERNAME.pub`` (public key) to [your skynet account](https://account.skynet.ie/modify_ssh)
``[CTRL]+[A]`` and ``[CTRL]+[V]`` will copy/paste everything.
The key must remain in its "armor" and the trailing newline at the end must be preserved.
## Use the Template
Now its time to make your own copy of this repo.
1. At the top of this page you will find this button:
![img.png](resources/UseThisTemplate.png)
2. ``Repository name``: This is what you want to name your repo
3. ``Template items``: Make sure ``Git content (Default branch)`` is ticked.
4. Press the ``Create Repository`` button.
## Secrets
One secret must be added to make this work.
Secrets are found in your repo under ``Settings > Actions > Secrets``
* SSH_KEY
* This is your private key that was generated above
* Copy & paste it exactly
End result should look like this:
![Secrets](resources/Secrets.png)
## Make changes to ``src``
**This is only relevant for this repo, the forks may have different ways to modify your site**
Make changes to the files in ``src``.
Commit and push.
If everything was set up fine then your site will soon be live on ``https://$USERNAME.users.skynet.ie``
