Good,

It’s probably something that can not be done because dont find anything to do it, but I’m looking for ways to use an external hard drive connected to the router as a Plex server. In external HD there isnt SO so Plex server cant run, logically, but the question is, could i install a SO (like any linux distribution or another SO like Raspberri Pi) to make it run?

Thanks in advance, greetings
