My solution is to have a mini PC in a remote location which boots at a given time each day (BIOS option using RTC Clock). It autoconnects via Wireguard VPN to my home network. I have rest-server running in a container.
Locally, I have a cron job for restic backups to the remote rest-server, followed by an ssh command to update and power off.
Has been solid so far!
