User Dir

UserDir mod allows users to build a site in a folder of their home.

Edit /etc/apache2/mods-available/userdir.conf:

<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
	UserDir public_html
	UserDir disabled root

	<Directory /home/*/public_html>
		AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Indexes
		Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
		Require method GET POST OPTIONS
	</Directory>
</IfModule>

Change public_html with your desired folder and create that folder in your home.

Restart Apache2, see Management.

Now the site is available at http://127.0.0.1/~user_name/ or http://localhost/~user_name/

if you want allow only a specific user, you can replace * in /home/*/public_html with the user_name.
