/usr/sdf

/usr/sdf. There is a README which has some detail about how it is laid out and how to make use of it in your namespace.

Its meant for personal software and utilities you’ve written that you’d like to share with the community. Larger software can be requested to be installed system wide, for instance the gemini browser ‘castor’ and ‘netsurf’ are installed that way.

If you’d like to write to and maintain your programs or utilities to share in /usr/sdf, please send a email to ‘glenda’ to request group access.

HTML/Gemini

You are correct, you create the $home/html directory then create your index.html and/or index.gem files there. You can view your user site using the respective:

urls.

curl https://9p.sdf.org/who/index.html -v --insecure

curl http://9p.sdf.org/who/hxd/index.html

They need /usr/web/who/hxd created (mounted?).

See /bin/mkhomepg.
