Slightly different setup here, but I have a /srv/repository-mirror/ 
directory on my system set up as the mount point for the disk drive 
which holds my repository mirror.  This is pretty simple to set up, but 
where you've mounted things is irrelevant - it's the webserver setup 
parts that's specifically critical.

You *probably* need to point your webserver's docroot to 
/media/8TB/ubuntu-mirror for your web server which is running on the 
same machine.

That's a question of setting up the web server and access permissions 
properly.  Have you started this setup process?  If so, what web server 
and what is your current setup?

Yeah, you can't have [text].[IPADDRESS] for a URL.  IP address bare, or 
get and use a domain with the URL.  This is just an Internet-ism, and 
DNS related, and how URL(s) are constructed.
