Tanks are not something you should play solo.

Tank is a group role, designed to protect the players doing damage.
When soloing, there is nobody doing damage if you are a tank.

I main a tank, and I'm always carrying several tanking and several DD setups with me.

This is the only advice I can give you.
Don't playas tank while soloing.

I know this is probably not the answer you eanted to hear, but that is just how it is.

To add a bit to the topic...

You can still be a tank full time (although I wouldn't recommend it) and earn gold.

Best gold is usually earned by trading and reselling, and it really doesn't matter what you are wearing.
Crafting writs, Master writs etc. They won't earn you a lot of gold per hour but it is a great way to have a steady income if you are planning long term.

You could always farm raw crafting materials.

OK, there is Tanky, then there is a Tank. Being Tanky is having some decent amount of Resistances and Health and wearing 5 Pieces of Heavy Armor. A Tanky character can still do some DPS and I had a Tanky DK in HA that could farm public dungeons. But in no way could I Tank a Vet Dungeon or Trial with this guy. Recently I put him in full on Tank Gear and Champ Points and Attributes and he pulls only 2K/4K DPS now. But he won't die and he can support groups in all group content.

If your Tanky, you can farm, if your a Tank, you probably won't be able to.

Now, with Public Dungeons, there are only two you can farm for gold, and your going to get 5K to 10K per hour, depending on if you have a Merchant Assistant or not to sell the loot you get and you have repair kits so you never have to leave. Most Public Dungeons are kind of stingy with the gold, the ones who have humans tend to give the most gold. So, that is Crimson Cove and Vile Manse. Razzak's in Bangkori is split humans and dwemer contructs. Lions Den is too spread out and I don't remember the gold drop rate for that one, I don't do it all that often.

All that being said, Public Dungeon Farming is not the only way to make gold. Legerdemain can pull gold in 5K to 10K per alt. And, even though you don't have other characters, you can roll some temp alts to be thieves as your not going to be stealing from places that are trying to kill you. You don't need any gear, you don't need any leveling, you don't need any quests, you just need alts. You just need one skill point to spend in Trafficing Passive so you can Fence 110 items per day. All you need is access to Orsinium in Wrothgar or the two ships in Daggerfall near the Wayshrine. Both of these areas are rich in containers and sparse with NPCs. Log into the alts, spend 10 to 15 minutes filling up the bag and you will have 5K to 10K on each alt each day. You can always delete them later on. Even better is to spend some of that gold and get their bag spaces up to 100 to 120.

I would mention other ways to make gold, but they require combat or the ability to do some combat or tactical running away.

Farm mats. Mats are very good sellers right now.
