    Feel like I’ve been doing this too long to run P2P clients on my desktop. Any good projects to let you self-host something to interact with the gnutella network on an external server? Something with a nice webui?

      If you want webinterface, then there’s nothing. gnutella is way too old for that shit. If you don’t mind connecting to a server via ssh, there’s gtk-gnutella. It has --shell flag. You need to write commands. There’s no TUI. If you just want to share from there, there’s no issue, but if you want to search and download from the search you are better using the normal gtk-gnutella (without the --shell) flag.

      I’ve tried to use the shell mode, long time ago and it was complicated. So i never did it. It was long time ago.

      Something like Qbittorrent-Nox or rTorrent/ruTorrent for Gnutella would be great.

      Not that I know of. The shift to Bittorrent after Limewire’s demise pretty much killed new Gnutella client development. There are a few desktop clients still under “active maintenance” but most of them haven’t been updated in ages.
