Gnutella network is definitely still active, athough not even close to the level it once was. It has plenty of drawbacks but one of the few advantages over torrents is that it doesn't need trackers. Just enough clients online to connect with one another.

You can even still find Shareaza with a quick search.

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?

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

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.

Sounds like a bad fit, even though I only want to share (it's some relatively rare content that took me some effort to procure in the highest quality that I believe is available).

gtkg is the only client being updated. you can then use the GUI. gtkg is very light.
