Operating a Skynet Webportal

Introduction
Skynet's decentralization depends not just on architecture, but also on access. Skynet needs a decentralized network of portal operators, and all of our tools for running and maintaining a multi-server web portal are open-source.
If you're unfamiliar with Skynet portals, please see Web Portals on Skynet in the Getting Started guide and the Portals support article.
It is very uncommon that a project would need to run a webportal. If you're building a web app or any project where you don't want to run a webportal, you probably don't need to.
Web Portal Components
Running a web portal consists of 3 major services
​skyd – the Skynet daemon used for interacting with the Sia and Skynet networks
​skynet-webportal – the webportal stack used for exposing skyd to the web
​skynet-accounts – the service used for creating and maintaining user portal accounts
Getting Started
Please see the documentation in the Webportal Management section to get started.
