Alternative to Internet Archive
Now; i use the archive to archive my prolithic output of music. (i have over 300 albums.) The music is of my own creation. Since the DDoS attack of 2024; Archive has been a hit or miss on the uploading factors. And many of my releases have specific dates for release. With the uncertainty of the uploads happening it causes me to break focus on working with music and watch the upload to make sure there isn't a 503 happening each file. (which sometimes happens frequently.) I am in search of a similar uploading process with an unlimited amount of uploads. I don't want to make money off of my music. I don't want to individually input over 2000 songs; including their metadata and other factors. Many sites that we both have heard of; have various limitations or are not privacy friendly platforms ran by a company that seeks to be Big Brother from 1984 and watch us in a Brave New World. I would simply P2P my music on nicotine+ or even have a server for my music. The only thing stoping me on P2P my music on nicotine is the requirement of have a big enough stickdrive to have it available all the time (along with other music and films i share already.) I could buy a 1TB one for that. The server setup is quite complicated and searching online the past couple of days keeps leading me to... (o yeah i forgot to add how reddit has that popup now after a few seconds of looking at their site on the other post... and the google thing on devs. if you read both then the open source closing is that purpose.) Though i keep getting results on this site. Anyways; what i am seeking as an alternative would also include sharing my books, short films, and music. (all in one place.) The service would need to be free; and an easy uploading process. (similar to how the archive's works.) or if someone could point me to an easy means of setting up a server... like what all i would need and how to make it possible, along with a fairly easy step by step explaining the process.

I like how Bill Wurtz does it at `https://billwurtz.com`. Dump everything on a server and list things manually in html. Or you could let your webserver deal with the directory listing. Caddy's looks nice, is customisable too. Can't get simpler than that!
CasaOS on a Raspberry Pi works pretty well for this. Simple web interface, handles big libraries fine, and you don’t have to mess around with complicated server setup.
> Anyways; what i am seeking as an alternative would also include sharing my books If it is your books, literally, then Zenodo is among the best for long-term preservation.
Geeze, you've been using IA to host your own personal media projects? That's disappointing to hear. What's wrong with, like, SoundCloud, etc? I rely on IA for literal public archival material like newspaper scans and broadcast recordings. Your usage of it seems a tad self-indulgent. It seems like having a 1TB drive and p2p hosting would be the most pro-social move, here, if you're unwilling to pay for cloud hosting or otherwise participate in the market.
