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.

    I ran my Alienware laptop for about 5 years 24/7 and I didn’t even remove the battery. The battery did turn to complete junk though, so I’d recommend removing it.
