That is plan A, I have had buffering issues doing this at various hotels though. This is more of a plan b setup. That probably wasn't clear.

How would changing dns servers change browsing habits?

What tie does sorkin have to either of those shows? I couldn't find it on wikipedia

Fuck, I didn't realize he was so far already.

That's fair. I'm already very familiar with jellyfin, so the setup wasn't much concern, but the other options provided are good.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

I had considered that as well. I'm just thinking out loud.

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.

What has MTG been doing since elected? I swear everything the GOP accuses anyone of is just projection.

I would use this more if I could use a credit card instead of a bank account. How easy are chargebacks on privacy? Ease of chargebacks is a major reason I use cc over debit (also points, which I think using privacy might affect).

VLC is an option I hadn't considered, I'd still have to get the media on the hdd, but something to consider for sure. I won't be hosting any showings, this is just for personal viewing.

Yes, I've used it in the past to download some stuff offline for airplanes, but I think that would be more cumbersome to download that way than automate it using sonarr/radarr, (unless this has gotten better in the past year or so). I'm expecting to have quite a bit of media on the nas since it'll be for an entire month.

Yes, mostly just to have stuff to watch without commercials.

portable jellyfin stack (discuss.online)
submitted 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

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.
