[https://www.universalmediaserver.com/ Universal Media Server] (or UMS for short) is a pretty cool program that will both create a browsable website of your media as well as stream it to compliant devices that support [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Plug_and_Play UPnP] or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Living_Network_Alliance DLNA].
This howto is adapted from [https://www.slsmk.com/how-to-install-universal-media-server-ums-on-ubuntu-in-headless-mode/ this article] describing how to install an older version of UMS on an older version of Ubuntu.
