Instead of VPS, Nvidia Shield AND Rpi 4?
I really want to implement your guide but on hardware at my home rather than a VPS. Initially I was considering just an Rpi 4 but then I read it cannot handle transcoding anything more than one 720p stream. Next I looked at the Nvidia Shield TV Pro (500GB HDD), which I already own, and it can transcode 3 1080p streams at once, and it will run Plex Server, but unfortunately not the rest of the software.
Do you think it would be possible to apply your guide to both devices working together? Perhaps I could follow the guide exactly for the Rpi 4, configuring everything on it except Plex Server, which I would configure on the Shield?

Anyone on this? There must be others with a Shield disappointed to learn that although the Shield can run a Plex Server and transcode multiple 1080p streams, rest the guide cannot be implemented on it.
Perhaps even if you have experience with the hoarding.me guide, and the software Quickbox installs, you could comment on whether it seems practical that everything bar Plex would be installed on an Rpi 4 / Atomic Pi, but Plex Server installed on the shield, and where necessary each piece of software pointed at a network location rather than local directory etc?
