An LTE router in a garage, automated end to end

There’s a particular kind of “where do I plug this in?” problem that doesn’t have a clean answer in any single shop. I needed internet in a spot where pulling a cable wasn’t realistic, and “consumer LTE router from the operator’s catalogue” wasn’t going to cut it either: I wanted remote SSH access without poking a hole in anyone’s NAT, I wanted the link to survive a short power cut without anyone noticing, and I wanted to know when it didn’t — without staring at a dashboard. Off-the-shelf boxes solve maybe one of those things, and usually behind a vendor app I’d rather not install.
