A little afraid to open my collection

Hi everyone, sorry, this is my 1st post on Reddit, please be kind with a noob.

I have a media collection (mainly movies and tv shows, some music too | almost 30 Tb) that I'd love to share via Soulseek, but I'm pretty afraid about doing so because, on 2021 I got ransomwared and lost about 15 Tb of files, some of them as old as 20 years and they are very hard to find some of them I think are lost forever. Till this day I don't know how or what happened, I ran and still run Ubuntu and I think my file permission strategy was wrong, but what happened with things like my firewall and such is a mystery. Anyway, I want to ask you, what security measures should I take to open my full library to the world while avoiding or at least, minimizing risk.
