Can the datacenter be made “mobile” so powered by a powerbank and provided internet by tethering from a phone? ---

The data center just needs power over Ethernet and Internet connectivity over that hard wire. How you accomplish that, doesn’t matter. But, if you move the data center, you have to complete another DC reinstall in the app and remap everything. ---

If you put the right combination of equipment together, I don’t see why this wouldn’t work. My set up currently is over a cellular connection as well. Where I currently live out in the Boonies, there is no other option other than cellular or satellite, and satellite is horribly expensive for the quality of service you receive. My whole house is actually wired through a cellular router, including the pole building that the Yarbo connects to now. In fact, it’s such a good router that I can get connections to it almost 100 to 150 yards away. That said, I do not know what the power consumption is of the router is or the DC and whether or not a power bank and solar cell could power it for very long. ---

Thanks. It works, Eco-flow powerbank to power the datacenter, dockingstation and router. Small router for internet, works great👍🏻
