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?
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.
Without cable, you’re bound to have quite some downtime. If you want it to be more reliable, maybe locating closer to cell towers/doubling with satellite might help.
