Like how on Debian’s website, you can find their ISO’s and other related files in this very simple file browser layout which looks kind of old but I want that, know any projects or way to set something like that up? The modern self-hosted stuff just does not seem simple enough, and both aesthetically and from a functional perspective I would like something like what debain does with their own files. I also want it to be reliable, for some reason, with both immich and nextcloud, a relative of mine was unable to download alot of photos without the download not even starting on Nextcloud, or it stopping 30% of the way on immich, if reliable downloads necessitate a desktop app with their own unique file exchanging protocol I would be ok with that too (willing to compromise with the desired aesthetic and minimalist design)
The ideal thing is the thing here: cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/

You can use basically any HTTP server to achieve that, like Apache or Nginx. If the directory (specified by the path in the URL) doesn’t contain a file that matches the default file in the config (index.html and such), the server will list the directory contents instead.

I guess in order for this to work you need to have set up that directory with the routing configuration? I’ve only ever gotten 404

You have to explicitly enable directory indexing; but then it will automatically generate simple http pages listing directory contents.
