What is Jcorp Nomad?
Nomad is a self-contained, battery-friendly media server that fits in your pocket.
It creates a local Wi-Fi hotspot with no internet connection needed, allowing you to stream your own movies, shows, music, books, and more directly from a microSD card. It’s perfect for camping, road trips, classrooms, or any scenario where connectivity is limited or unavailable.
TL;DR: Low power ESP-32 media server, that creates a local WiFi hotspot, media front end and serves upto 8 streams simultaneously.
Disclosure: no affiliation with project, other than wishing I’d thought of it first. I love me some ESP-32 black magic.


For their size, they are surprisingly powerful and very versatile. The Nomad project you posted looks intriguing. I could see that being useful when we’re out on the pontoon because the CD player has long since died and there is zero I want to listen to on terra-radio. He even includes the NomadCase.stl file. Sweet! Bookmarked. Thanks for sharing.
Narrator: but they will never returned to that bookmark…
You’d be surprised. I do have a projects folder that is large. However, I do get around to most of it.
You’re welcome :)
I’m looking to see just how far this femto-server idea can go. Scoping it out now.
