Reflecting on it some more, also thanks to your comment, I decided for now to just give ourchive a try. I managed to get it up and running locally with just a little fiddling on an ancient laptop, which was encouraging. Since the plan is just a personal archive, I should aim for ease of installation... gonna just play around with it locally for now, but I'm encouraged by the ease of set up and troubleshooting the initial issues myself despite my general lack of skills. Thank you again for your input!
