Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Without a secondary internet connection this isn't possible.
The router is the connection - its the gateway (a term we don't hear much these days).
You could setup an independent connection via a cell modem - becoming a secondary connection. This is common for remote locations or even small businesses that need a failover just for management.
You could even have it on a single machine and have a vpn there. Then you could RDP/VNC to that one machine and manage things from there. I've done the VPN this way with Tailscale. One machine has it (I've even done it with a Raspberry Pi), then you can RDP/VNC to other machines from there.
But there's not much I could see you doing if the gateway is down anyway.
Even with something like no-ip, which some routers support, if the gateway is down, nothing is going to happen.
if op still has connection, but the router just reset itself and closed all the ports, tailscale could help.
but yeah if the connection goes down, there's no way in.
Yea, Tailscale would work if the router was fully reset,.
