From man useradd:
-d, --home-dir HOME_DIR
The new user will be created using HOME_DIR as the value for the
user's login directory. The default is to append the LOGIN name to
BASE_DIR and use that as the login directory name. The directory
HOME_DIR does not have to exist but will not be created if it is
missing.
You can either create the directory manually, or add the -m (--create-directory) option:
-m, --create-home
Create the user's home directory if it does not exist. The files
and directories contained in the skeleton directory (which can be
defined with the -k option) will be copied to the home directory.
By default, if this option is not specified and CREATE_HOME is not
enabled, no home directories are created.
