How do I go about making a custom skin server?

By default, with the mod installed, your friend should be able to see your skin even if your server is in offline mode as you have your skin configured on your minecraft account. To setup a custom skin server that allows users upload their skins is not that difficult but still complicated. I would suggest you just let your friend choose a skin then have the skin file on both your minecraft instances. If your friend find minecraft is interesting, he might buy it.
Sorry for the ping, but could you provide some details about skin servers? Does it use HTTP to query the server, or with a POST request, or something completely different?
The default values in the config look like it's just a URL that it's appending player names onto, but after hosting a GitHub repo and changing the config around I couldn't see the skin. The mod's working fine if I have the skins locally, so I could probably just get players to pull into their .minecraft/cachedImages, but I'd rather set up a proper server.
I haven't been able to find much online. Have you got any leads? Tips? Anything's appreciated, thanks!
And I figured it out... Of course it was on my side and had nothing to do with my server :)
For reference, this was the config that worked for me:
{
"useMojang": false,
"useCrafatar": false,
"useCustomServer": false,
"useCustomServer2": true,
"hostCustomServer2Skin": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/username/repo/master/skins/%name%.png",
"hostCustomServer2Cape": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/username/repo/master/capes/%name%.png"
}
