Is there a good solution for an entirely off-grid server?
Is it possible to use a smartphone hotspot/USB tethering for internet connection?
I have some solar panels & batteries and an old laptop (or I might get a raspberry pi) and am curious about whether I could selfhost literally in the middle of nowhere, without a residential internet connection?
I have a trailer (workshop) with solar power, batteries, a raspberry pi controlling everything and a cellular hot spot. It pumps all the solar, battery information and light controls over MQTT and home assistant over cellular. So yes its possible, what do you want to do?
Awesome, that’s very close to what I had in mind in terms of hardware.
I’d mostly like to host a lightweight website but perhaps also some communications stuff like xmpp and maybe even email.
