Readers/Web/Team/Hosting Prototypes

People.wikimedia.org server
Prototypes (or any other static html files) can be hosted on the people.wikimedia.org service. The people.wikimedia.org doesn't require any maintenance and allow every person with production ssh access to put any static content in their home directory. In the past Reading-Web-Team had a designated server (design.wmflabs.org), this idea was abandoned because of the mainteance cost and the fact that having a separate cloud vps instance just to host static files is an overkill.

Prerequisites:
You need to make sure that you have a public_html folder in your home directory. By default users do not have this folder.

To create the public_html directory with correct permissions please do following:

Command to copy files to your home directory: Explanation:
