Advice Needed: Sharing DVD Collection (infosec.pub)

I have a large DVD collection containing lots of niche titles that don’t appear to be on any public tracker. I would like to share my love of these films with the world.

I have access to a server that’s online 24/7 with a symmetric link and no data cap. My plan is to use a docker container with a web transmission instance to seed all of my material through a VPN provider (for my own safety). My server was last rebooted 200 days ago; I intend to rack lots of uptime seeding with my server. I have technical skills and I can ensure I’ll have an open port to accept connections.

Questions: what steps should I take to protect myself in seeding these DVDs? Is there a guide or some recommendations you can provide to get the best quality out of the many hours I’m going to spend ripping? Is it possible to trace the DVD reader that made the rip? Are the cool kids still uploading torrents or is there a better technology I should be using?

Overall, I have plenty of content to share, but I don’t want to put myself at risk when I do.

I think you'll be okay with using a solid VPN and torrenting the files. Torrents are still very popular

Even if the answer may seem obvious, I still appreciate the input to make sure I am not too outdated. Thank you!

Yes... but what tracker would you recommend for uploading the torrents to? I know I'm not OP but I've been thinking about dvd ripping lately too
