I’ll be vacationing for a month and want to setup a portable jellyfin server/stack. I’m not sure how good the internet will be, website says 300 mbps, but I won’t know until I’m there, so not sure remote playback is an option. I already have a n100 minipc I bought for a backup firewall, so I’d just need to buy RAM for it.

Here’s what I’m thinking would be the easiest setup for this:

  • travel router to vpn to internet
  • jellyfin server
  • nas os (will probably be truenas/omv, haven’t settled on that yet) using external hard drive (I have a 5tb hdd that’s just sitting around)

to get media on nas, docker containers on nas OS:

  • radarr
  • sonarr
  • sabnzbd

Is there an easier way to get media on the nas, or better options (or anything I’m overlooking) for any of it for those that have done a portable/offiline media server? Thanks in advance!

Edited for formatting

Edit: the consensus seems to be that this is overkill. I had a good reason at some point over just a laptop, but after sleeping on the feedback I don’t remember what it was.

Usually they just disable all the hdmi ports except for cable and don’t bother to lock the final hdmi port to a specific device. So long as you have a long hdmi cable and nimble hands, it’s not too much effort to just pull out the cable hdmi and put in your own.

If you can reach it. I’ve seen hotel TVs mounted in furniture that prevented access without tools.
