Sooo I have a dilemma.

I have to find hosting for a project that I am working on soon. I do not think I could afford to pay for the resources that would be required in order to run the server.

I have a spare raspberry pi, solar powered battery pack, and an external SSD. I could technically rig up a water proof camouflaged incognito server with this gear.

Hide it somewhere in a shopping plaza that has multiple public wifi hotspots with decent connection speeds. Utilize a vpn service to have a dedicated IP address.

Then configure the DNS for the website and repository to tunnel through to the public internet. So that way the server is accessible, can run 24/7/365, and I can SSH in to manage it.

Strictly from a moral and ethical standpoint.

Is this plan a good, bad, or neutral thing for me to do?

See that is the dilemma.

If it is a public wifi. That is open for everyone to use as much as they want whenever they want. While i am generating my own solar electricity.

Is this truly stealing, or simply utilizing an available resource in a way most people would not think of?
