  <p>Perhaps it would not be necessary to change all subdirectories and files in the craft folder to 777.

  Yes, it is possible to run Craft CMS NearlyFreeSpeech.NET. I did it as follows:
  
  * Place the Craft folder in /home/tmp.
  * Place the files in the public folder in /home/public.
  * Change the permissions of the craft folder and all subfolders and all files to 777.
  * Change craftPath in index.php to '../tmp/craft'.
  
  Perhaps it would not be necessary to change all subdirectories and files in the craft folder to 777. But it is the easier way and it should hopefully not create a problem, because the folder is not accessible from the public. Even the update process is running if the folder (including subfolders and files) is 777.
