Media-Man

 I created an Instructables guide,  based on a personal project I made in 2023, on how to make a mobile media server with a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W, Anker Powerbank and a VHS Case. I entered the guide into the Off the Grid contest. I created the Instructables guide after interest from a subreddit post I made.




I made a whiptail script for the guide that automates configuration of Plex for the end-user. Here is the source code on GitHub.com The hardest part was making the script as secure as possible for the end-user and adding guards so the end-user couldn't run the script out of order. I tried my best to write the guide for someone who was unfamiliar with Plex, Linux, etc.

I'm making another Instructables guide for Jellyfin targeted for a different device that will be more affordable and easier to carry. So stay tuned for that project.
