[users@httpd] Is a home directory for the httpd user safe?

[Tom Browder]

In order to run a service behind my reverse proxy I need to have a defined
user with some kind of writeable home directory.

The easy choice to get started is to create a /home/apache directory for my
apache user.

Is that safe or should I do something else?

I do have my systemd service file working, so I can create a new user for
that purpose if need be.

Thanks.
