I recently converted an old dell laptop to a server by installing Ubuntu server and casa os on it as I wanted to have some info of how it works but since then I have grown a liking towards the sheer amount of things I can host on it. I want to host pihole/adguard on it but i don’t know if it is safe to keep it running overnight as it’s a laptop. Currently I shut it down at night but for adguard I’ll need it running all the time. I’m just worried abut the battery or maybe the hardware will malfunction as its a laptop.

    host pihole/adguard - get a cheap rasberry pi 3+ and host either of these and never worry about it. I run adguard on one, works fine. I update it every so often and reboot it maybe monthly for the hell of it. Uses a cell phone charger for AC power.

      For now I’m planning to have everything in one place I might buy some pies or optiplex to expand it in the future
