### Using User websites

The module is always enabled and offers no configuration from the Plinth web interface. Currently its existence is not even visible in the Plinth web interface.

Using the modules capability to serve documents requires just to place the documents in the designated directory in a Plinth user's home directory in the filesystem.

This directory is: public_html

Thus the absolute path for the directory of a user named fbx with home directory in /home/fbx will be /home/fbx/public_html. User websites will serve documents placed in this directory when requests for documents with the URI path "~fbx" are received. For the the example.org domain thus a request for the document example.org/~fbx/index.html will transfer the file in /home/fbx/public_html/index.html.
