Set up or update a homepage
Set up homepage
The CMS ("Computer- und Medienservice") of Humboldt university offers all registered users the opportunity to publish their own WWW pages without any bureaucratic hurdles. The only requirement is a personal HU account. With this HU account, you can log into your home directory here using a web browser:
https://amor.cms.hu-berlin.de/home/
Then there are only a few minor preparations to make.
- A folder public_html must be created in your own home (./) directory .
- The file access rights for the home directory and for the public_html folder must be set as shown in the illustrations.

- Creation of a sample homepage that anyone can change according to their wishes.
Your HU account must be used for username (e.g. meieruwe). You can also use our URL shortener to get a more memorable address for your homepage, e.g.
https://hu.berlin/uwe-meier
You can create any number of files and other directories in the public_html directory. However, you should bear in mind the quota value of 50 GB per user, which must not be exceeded. Of course, all pages must be written in HTML. A good introduction to HTML is provided by Stefan Münz, which can be found at http://de.selfhtml.org/. With tools such as Pelican https://blog.getpelican.com/, even non-programmers can quickly create their own websites.
