# Local web pages If you want a local web page like https://grenzland.club/~phf/ this is what to do. Make your home directory world-readable. Yes! People will be able to list the files in here. ``` chmod 755 $HOME ``` Create a `public_html` folder and make it world-readable, too. ``` mkdir $HOME/public_html chmod 755 $HOME/public_html ``` Create a small page and make it world-readable, too: ``` echo 'OK!' > $HOME/public_html/index.html chmod 644 $HOME/public_html/index.html ``` Now it should work. Test it: https://grenzland.club/~alex/ Remember, though: Your home directory is now world-readable (by the people with an account on the same machine). So if you create a file called `~/Reasons-to-hate-Alex.txt` then user `alex` might have reasonable doubts regarding your interactions even if they cannot read what you actually wrote into that file. The alternative is to [use the wiki](users).
