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!

What are you planning on playing it on? Hotel TVs are often locked to their cable boxes, or have the TVs in frames. I’d probably just use a laptop.
Or do vacation things. I can watch TV at home.

I’ll be taking an android tv box with me, so the tv lockdown is a concern. I’ll be taking my laptop w me in case I need it. I considered just installing jellyfin on that too.
i understand the ‘do vacation things’, i like to watch tv while i fall asleep, so there’s that.
Some good things to think about here.
