Comment on Off-grid hosting

For public services you will need some kind of tunnel, as cellular networks or Starlink will not provide you with a public IP. Otherwise no big issue with an ARM SBC and a somewhat decent battery.

How does that work? Thanks :)

Basically a VPN where the endpoint is a VPS or a specialized service that offers a public IP.

OK, does that mean it’s not possible to have a public IP using a cellular device?

Technically it is possible, and I have heard rumors about some eastern European providers given unique public IPs on request, but practically no, not possible/available.

Besides what the other commenter mentioned, there’s also existing services you can use instead of doing it all yourself and having to keep track of another VPS/Server

Especially if all you want to do is access your own server from outside your local off-grid network, then the free tier of the above service is probably perfect. Paid tiers give you a bit more features and can use your own TLD; Oracle also offers something similar that is paid.
