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

    Are these people you trust? I would do Jellyfin and expose it to them via tailscale. Might be annoying for them to have to run tailscale but no chance I’m serving media directly from my house.
