Recently in Spain we have suffered a complete power outage, with no electricity for a long time. Some were able to have power on their computers with generators, solar panels, etc. And I know you can have data connectivity with SDR or HAM radio. But my question here is, what are some good self-host/local offline software that we can have and use for when something like this happens. I know kiwix, and some other for manuals. Please feel free to share the ones you know and love, can be for any type of thing as long as it works completely offline, just name it. Of course for GNU/Linux (using Arch myself BTW). Thanks in advance.

    So… I’ve done that May 2023 for a holiday trip.

    I left with my RPi4 and few gadgets but no Internet.

    There I built https://git.benetou.fr/utopiah/offline-octopus/ and my main take away is

    • you can build what is missing

    and more importantly the meta take away is

    • you need to iterate preparations

    because just like first aid you need to be actually ready when needed and knowledge change over time. You need to actually try though, test your setup and yourself genuinely otherwise it is intellectual masturbation.

    Have fun!
