....why, though?
I mean, technology is cool and I like a neat portable setup as much as the next person, but why take this to a beach? Can you not be away from social networks and your home LAN for even a few hours at a beach? :-(

Why WG to the home if you have your Plex Server with you?
@1bluepixel There’s no telling what the internet situation is like at the vacation home. We’ve been stranded before with no internet where it rained all week.
Is it possible to condense it all down to one Pi unit?
Really wish I had something like this for my vacation right now, would be nice to be able to play some episodes from plex or watch a bit women's world cup games but this airbnb only has 1 appletv
@samdoran @plex @caseyliss why does the raspberry pi need a wifi antenna?
I’m planing to get a pi in the future to build mount the Plex server and other stuff like vpn for home etc … can I get some guidance on what to look and what type of storage (physically small) to attach to it? Also it can be used as a seed box ? All together
@nyakojiru The RK3588 and RK3566 are fantastic SOCs. At least 4GB RAM. An eMMC is much more reliable for the boot volume than a microSD card.
This won’t be able to do any live transcoding, so make sure your clients are configured for direct streaming.
You can get fairly large USB 3 flash drives and microSD cards for compact local storage. A NAS is better than local storage for a media server, though.
The best thing about Plex is being able to play it on anything. HDMI out of your phone/laptop makes more sense.
