i have a collection of media i want to share on a request basis, i.e give specific people access to the full collection on request, but i’ve never hosted any service open to the wider net, so i’m quite wary of any potential risks, mainly getting a letter from my isp for uncommon data usage or opening my network to any security risks, as i share it with other people and don’t want them to get affected in any way.
i’m aware the best choice for anyone overtly worried with security would be to upload it all to a cloud service, but due to my currency’s exchange rate to the dollar most services are unfortunately out of my budget.
creating a site for it would be a good option, but some of the items in the collection could cause copyright issues that could get the site taken down if reported.
any help/ideas are greatly appreciated, as i’m kinda out of them at the moment

I run Jellyfin for myself and I like it. It’s certainly capable of supporting multiple user accounts with password login. Not sure if there’s anything about it that would make it more or less secure than any other method. I would definitely consider giving friends and family free access, but everyone I know seems pretty content giving their money to the various streaming services. Oh well.
i love jellyfin, only thing holding me back from using it for this project is that it’s very focused on video, and a huge part of the content i wanna share is text-based
Ah, okay. What about just a simple static webpage with a .onion address? Is your audience savvy enough to use Tor?
I’m trying to talk a lot of friends into using my. Jellyfin and even helped them set up tailscale and all that. But they keep going back to paying Netflix etc.
