+# Skynet Portal Setup Scripts
+
+This directory contains a setup guide and scripts that will install and
+configure some basic requirements for running a Skynet Portal. The assumption is
+that we are working with a Debian Buster Minimal system or similar.
+
+##  Initial Setup
+(Assumes we are logged in as root on a fresh installation of Debian)
+
+You may want to fork this repository and add your ssh pubkey to
+`authorized_keys` and optionally edit the `tmux` and `bash` configurations.
+
+0. SSH in a freshly installed Debian machine.
+1. `apt-get update && apt-get install sudo`
+2. `adduser user`
+3. `usermod -a -G sudo user`
+4. Quit the ssh session.
+
+You a can now ssh into your machine as the user `user`.
+
+5. On your local machine: `ssh-copy-id user@ip-addr`
+6. On your local machine: `ssh user@ip-addr`
+7. Now logged in as `user`: `sudo apt-get install git`
+8. `git clone https://github.com/NebulousLabs/skynet-webportal`
+9. `cd skynet-webportal/setup-scripts`
+11. `./setup.sh`
+12. Once DNS records are set you can run: `./letsencrypt-setup.sh`
+13. You should also change the nginx configuration to listen on port 443
+    instead.
+
+## Setting up siad
+
+NOTE: You must be running `siad` and `siac` by building from the `viewnode`
+branch.
+
+You still need to setup `siad` for the backend to be complete.
+1. `cd ~/; mkdir siad`
+2. `nohup siad &>/dev/null &`
+
+This will start syncing `siad` in the background.
+
+## ViewNode setup
+
+When `siad` is done syncing, create a new wallet and unlock the wallet.
+
+Then set an allowance (`siac renter setallowance`), with the suggested values
+below:
+- 10 KS (keep 25 KS in your wallet)
+- default period
+- default number of hosts
+- 8 week renewal time
+- 500 GB expected storage
+- 500 GB expected upload
+- 5 TB expected download
+- default redundancy
+
+Once your allowance is set you need to set your node to be a viewnode with the
+following command:
+`siac renter setallowance --payment-contract-initial-price 10SC`
+
+Now your node will begin making 10 contracts per block with many hosts so it can
+potentially view the whole network's files.
+
+## Running the Portal
+`cd` into the parent directory and run `yarn` to build dependencies.
+
+We recommend running the Portal through `pm2` (a nodejs process manager) in the background with the command:
+
+`pm2 --name skynet start npm -- start`
+
+`yarn start` will also work if not using `pm2`.
+
+The Protal which will automatically read your `siad` API password and startup a
+portal on `localhost:3000`. nginx will expose this to port 80 or 443 if you
+configured it for SSL.
