Screenly Anthias Portable (2025)

Building a portable Screenly Anthias system requires balancing performance, power consumption, and physical durability. Below is the ideal hardware stack for a mobile deployment. 1. The Compute Module: Raspberry Pi

I can give you exact hardware recommendations or configuration tweaks based on your situation.

It is 100% open-source and free, allowing you to scale your mobile infrastructure without recurring overhead.

| Component | Recommended | Notes | |-----------|-------------|-------| | | Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 | Pi 5 offers better video decoding performance | | MicroSD card | 16GB or larger, Class 10 | Stores the operating system and content | | Power supply | USB-C (5V/3A for Pi 4/5) | A portable power bank can work for temporary setups | | HDMI cable | Standard or micro HDMI (for Pi 4/5) | Connects the Pi to the display | | Display | Any TV or monitor with HDMI input | From small desktop monitors to large commercial displays | screenly anthias portable

He unplugged the device. The ocean vanished, replaced by the gray concrete of the basement wall. The magic vanished, sealed inside the matte-black box.

Design & Build

This script automatically pulls the latest version of Anthias and configures it to run on your system.

After the installer completes and the system reboots, open a web browser on any device connected to the same network. Type the IP address of your Raspberry Pi into the address bar. You’ll see the —your central control panel for managing content, schedules, and settings.

To make it truly portable, get a high-capacity power bank with power delivery (PD) capable of powering both the Raspberry Pi and the monitor. 3. Accessories

Traditional digital signage is stationary. It is bolted to a wall, plugged into a standard AC outlet, and tied to a local network. A portable Anthias setup breaks these boundaries by integrating the Raspberry Pi with a battery power source, a compact display, and mobile connectivity. This mobility unlocks new use cases:

: Anthias supports Raspberry Pi OS Lite versions (both 32-bit and 64-bit), including Trixie and Bookworm releases. For x86 PCs, follow the Debian installation instructions in the documentation.
