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.
