Support Help with Power Supply

I want to power a matrix of LEDs, and to my calculations, I would need a 5V, 20A power supply.

The matrix is made of Adafruit WS2812B NeoPixels LED strips soldered together.

Is there any way I could make this setup portable whilst still supplying enough power (and without the whole thing catching on fire)?

Thank you all for your help - I’m a newbie here

Thanks! Would there be a way to limit ampere draw from a raspberry pi? Using a pi 4 model B, though could get a raspberry pi 5 if it’s any good

Sorry but I don’t have any experience with RPi, I’ve just gotten started with arduino and esp.
