portable jellyfin stack (discuss.online)

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.

I feel like some sort of duplication is the best way to go. Like, have a full stack at home, and have a small mini PC full of NVME that mirrors just the storage you want, and keep the local jellyfin stack up to date otherwise with like docker and watchtower. Then you can unplug and take it with you when you leave, no muss no fuss.
